B. JOLLY CALLED Martin B. Jolly, of the Fruitland bench about three miles south of Payette, passed away at his home at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, after a lingering illness covering a period of about six years. In April his son, Harry, came from Kansas City to visit him and soon afterwards he took to his bed and has been confined to it ever since. Martin B. Jolly was born in Kentucky, October 2, 1848. His parents moved with him to Illinois when he was a baby and later they came further west and located at Trenton, Mo., where he was married October 9, 1873. One child, a son, Harry, was born to them. At the age of 16 years he was converted and joined the Christian church of which he was a loyal member at the time of his death. He was also a Mason, having been a member of that order for 43 years. The son and his wife arrived from Kansas City last night, too late to see him alive again, but as he had been unconscious since Monday it made little difference. The funeral services were held this afternoon, Rev. V. E. Hall, pastor of the Methodist church, officiating in the absence of Rev. Mowe, pastor of the Christian church. Interment took place at the Payette cemetery. Mr. Jolly was an honorable and upright citizen and was respected by everybody. Although an invalid for years, his influence for right was felt in the community and his death is deeply deplored. The family have the sympathy of friends. Additional Comments: Riverside Cemetery.
