Obituary
 
William Homan was born near Stetin, Germany, July 2, 1858, and passed away in 
Michigan City, Indiana October 17, 1929, at 6:30 a. m.   He was 71 years, 3 
months, and 15 days old at the time of his death.  He was taken ill about 10 
days before, with a severe heart attack and bronchial pneumonia.  He had 
practically recovered from the latter, however, and the cause of his death was 
given as myocarditis.  His son, Dr. Waldo Homan and wife of Burns, Oregon were 
at his bedside when he passed away.  They arrived in Payette with the body 
Monday evening.
 
At 26 years of age he came to America, and 10 years later married Mrs. Eva 
Stegall.  To this union was born four sons, Dr. Waldo Homan of Burns, Oregon; 
William Homan of Los Angeles, and Herbert and Francis Homan of Fruitland.
 
In March 1903 the family moved to Fruitland where Mr. Homan has since resided 
until a year ago when he went to California and spent the winter.  He returned 
this summer and spent a while visiting, and then went on to Indiana to visit 
relatives.
 
Mr. Homan was confirmed in the Lutheran church at the age of 14 years, and has 
long been a devout member of the Baptist church.  He was an earnest worker in 
the local Baptist church, and was always a loyal supporter and ready to help 
with anything for the betterment of the church.  
 
Mr. Homan is survived by his 4 sons, 7 grandchildren, a brother, Herman Homan 
of Michigan City, Indiana, and a sister Mrs. Augusta Peterson of Elkhart, 
Indiana.  Also a large circle of friends in this community who will greatly 
miss him.  Mrs. Homan preceded him in death one and one half years ago.
 
Funeral services were held from the Baptist church Tuesday afternoon at 2 
o'clock, conducted by Rev.. L. G. Frazier of Payette and interment made beside 
Mrs. Homan in Park View Cemetery in New Plymouth.
 
The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved sons.
