PLEASANT VIEW IN MOURNING

T. R. Hubbard, Honored Pioneer of the Community, Passed Away.

On Thursday, May 18, there came to our community, a sorrow such as we have not 
experienced before in our adopted country.  Apparently in good health and 
occupied with work on his place, Thomas R. Hubbard was taken violently ill with 
neuralgia and passed away in 12 hours. 

Words are vain to express our sorrow and sympathy and the high esteem in which 
our departed brother was held by one and all who have joined themselves to this 
community, he having been here before any of us. 

Mr. Hubbard was 44 years old, having been born at Elk Creek, Pa.  He came to 
Payette in1890, where he took a position as salesman for the Payette nursery.  
Later he homesteaded the 160 acres northwest of the beautiful home where he 
died.  In 1896 he returned to Pennsylvania and was married to Miss Mary 
O’Brien, who now, with her son, James Daniel Hubbard, mourn for the lover, 
husband and father.  Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard were true helpmeets, one to the 
other, and the loss is keenly felt by the wife for whom the husband made the 
daily routine as easy as possible.  Besides his property and moneyed interests, 
Mr. Hubbard was a director in the First National Bank of Payette.

On Sunday afternoon the funeral services were held at the residence, conducted 
by Rev. T. S. Dulin of the Baptist church of Payette, who had enjoyed a 
pleasant acquaintance with the deceased for five years.  A quartet furnished 
the comforting hymns and Mr. A. J. Boehmer of Payette sang E. O. 
Excell’s “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere,” in a most impressive manner.  The 
floral offerings were a silent testimony of love and sorrow for the departed 
one.

Probably the longest procession that has ever entered Payette, following the 
deceased to Riverside cemetery where many friends from town had gathered to pay 
their respects to their friend.  

The pall bearers were as follows:  P. A. Devers, J. J. Toole, J. S. Thurston, 
J. H. Hanigan, E. E. Hunter and A. J. Barney.

Mr. Hubbard was not affiliated with any church, but felt that he was a 
Christian and had a hope in Heaven.

Mrs. Hubbard has with her a distant relative, Mrs. Wicham, from Boise, who had 
known the family from childhood.
