R. Jimerson After years of such suffering as few men have known, with sciatic rheumatism, John R. Jimerson passed away at a little after four o'clock Saturday evening, at the home of his parents 7 miles below Payette. Mr. Jimerson came to this valley in the spring of 1887, and was a teacher in the public schools for about six years. He was a native of Illinois, having been born in Marion county, March 23, 1862. He was united in marriage with Miss Lucy Good of Centralia, Ill., Oct. 6, 1893, who with two children are bereft of the tender care and loving protection of a husband and father. In spite of his sore affliction, which had extended over a period of several years, Mr. Jimerson had brought his indomitable will-power to bear upon every detail of his personal business affairs and had raised a fine orchard and brought to a high state of production a beautiful and valuable ranch about five miles below this city. He also leaves his family an insurance policy of $2000 in the Woodmen of the World. The funeral was conducted from the Baptist church of Payette at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Rev. T. S. Dulin preached an impressive discourse from the 23rd Psalm, after which the local camp of Woodmen, of which decreased was a member, took charge of the remains which were followed to Riverside cemetery by a large procession of relatives, friends and neighbors, and there laid to rest with the beautiful ceremonies of the order.
