PIONEER PASSES AWAY.

Friday morning, October 4th Payette people were shocked to learn that one of 
the best known and oldest citizens had been suddenly stricken to death.  While 
assisting to unload a wagon of refuse from the vinegar factory he had lately 
purchased, D. S. Lamme, for many years a resident of this city and state was 
stricken with a stroke of apoplexy which immediately killed him.  The deceased 
was for many years a resident of this state coming here in 1863 first locating 
on a ranch on Big Willow.  Later he went to the Boise Basin where for a time he 
engaged in mining and at one time conducted a hotel. Many years ago he returned 
to Payette and during the many years of his residence engaged in several 
different lines of business, at one time engaging in the mercantile business in 
this city. For a number of years he had retired from active business and lived 
quietly on the proceeds that early frugality had won for him but just a short 
time ago had purchased the Payette Vinegar Works and was actively engaged in 
its management at the time of his death.  The remains wee taken Monday morning 
to Placerville and laid beside those of the wife who over twelve years ago 
preceded her husband to the other shore.

D. S. Lamme was born February 11, 1842, in the state of Illinois and was at the 
time of his death seventy years, seven months and twenty-three days old.  He 
was one of the real pioneers of Idaho coming here in 1863.  His experiences 
were those of all early pioneers. He was brusque and rugged but withal kindly 
and hospitable and will long be held in tender remembrance by a large number of 
people in this valley.
