EDWIN LAUER CALLED BY DEATH

PAYETTE BUSINESS MAN PASSED AWAY IN PORTLAND HOSPITAL FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 19

The people of Payette heard with sadness of hearts the news of the passing 
away of Edwin Lauer, proprietor of the Evergreen Filling Station, at a 
hospital in Portland where he had gone for treatment. Word had been received 
last Thursday that hope of his recovery had been given up Wednesday night and 
Mrs. Lauer left for Portland that evening, but arrived too late as he had 
passed away before she reached there Friday, the 19th. The body was brought 
here Saturday afternoon and funeral services ere held at the Episcopal Church, 
Sunday afternoon, Rev. Thomas Ashworth officiating.

Edwin Lauer was born at Idaho City in 1875 and came to Payette with his 
parents when he was a small boy, and almost his entire life was spent here.

He started in business at the age of 14, at the time of the death of his 
father, entering the mercantile business with his brother, James, the firm 
being known all over this section of the country. His brother passed away a 
few years ago and he then purchased the service station and was in that 
business at the time of his death.

He was married to Miss Eva Gish, January 12, 1912, at Indianapolis, Indiana, 
and two sons, William and Robert, were born to them. They with the mother 
survive to mourn his taking away. He is also survived by a sister, Lily Lauer, 
of Payette, and two brothers, Milton, of Payette and Isaac, of Chicago.

Edwin Lauer was one of those quiet, reserved men who had a good work for 
everybody and whose business dealings were of the most up right. Without boast 
or ostentation he was ever ready to perform his full duty as a citizen. Highly 
respected by everybody he will be greatly missed from business circles in 
Payette. He was laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery. 

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our Payette friends for the many kindnesses shown us in our 
recent bereavement, and those who contributed the beautiful floral offerings. 
Your tenderness and sympathetic assistance will never be forgotten. Mrs. Edwin 
Lauer and Children, Lily Lauer, Milton Lauer
