FOUND DEAD IN BED
 
John Jewell, Sr., a Victim of Heart Disease Sometime Last Wednesday Night
 
John Jewell, Sr., highly respected citizen of Payette, passed away at his home 
on North 11th street, where he was living alone, presumably some time last 
Wednesday night.  Mr. Jewell, who was a carpenter by trade, had the contract 
for the building the new Baptist parsonage and worked on it Wednesday.  That 
evening was the last seen of him alive.
 
Thursday night, Bert Nelson, who delivers milk there, saw that he had not 
taken the milk delivered the night before and went to Clint Graham's home next 
door and asked Clint if he had seen Mr. Jewell.  As Clint had not they became 
alarmed and went to the Jewell home to investigate.  There they found Mr. 
Jewell cold in death and appearing to have passed away either while asleep or 
very suddenly.  His right hand was placed over his heart as though he might 
have put it there as a sudden pain struck him.
 
Sheriff Stewart and Coroner Adair were called, but as death had plainly been 
caused by heart failure they did not deem it necessary to hold an inquest.  
His son, John Jewell, Jr., of Wallowa, Oregon, was at once notified and he, 
with other members of the family came as soon as they could get here.
 
Funeral services were held at the Christian church, of which he was an 
elder,   Tuesday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. Mrs. Beem, the pastor, 
assisted by her husband.  Burial took place at the Riverside cemetery.
 
John Jewell was born January 21, 1866, at Council Bluffs, Iowa, and had been a 
resident of Payette a number of years.  He is survived by nine children, six 
of whom were at the funeral.  They were Leslie and Clarence, of Belt, Montana, 
William Jewell, of Bridgefield, Wash., Mrs. Austin Stanton, of Chewlah, Wash., 
John Jr. and Norris, of Wallowa, Oregon.  Those unable to be here were Elwood 
and Mrs. Anna Watson, of Moro, Minn., and Mrs. Glenn Sweat, of Sparta, Mich.  
The wife, Mrs. Grace R. Jewell, of Belt, Montana, could not be here.  He was 
also survived by two sisters, Mrs. E. E. Sweet, of Yakima, Wash. and Mrs. 
Myrtle Evarts, of Alliance, Nebraska.
 
Mr. Jewell was a consistent and earnest church worker and a good citizen.  His 
death is deeply regretted by the citizens of payette and our sympathy goes out 
to the members of the family.
