OBITUARY

James A. Lauer was born at Idaho City, Idaho, February 24th, 1871, and came 
with his parents to Payette in the early eighties, where he began his career as 
one of the business men of the pioneer village of Payette, as a clerk with the 
firm of Lamme & Marquardson in 1887, and in 1892 engaged in the mercantile 
business as proprietor in a small building on the corner where the Banks’ 
livery barn now stands and a few years later erected a frame building on the 
Payette National Bank corner, where he conducted a mercantile business for many 
years and later in company with his brother Ed Lauer, conducted a hardware, 
furniture and implement business in the adjoining building known as J. A. Lauer 
& Brother.
In 1900 he was married to Emma Taylor of Weiser, and to this union one son was 
born.  Mr. Lauer was one of Payette’s most enterprising business men always 
ready to extend accommodations.  He was always pleasant in his dealings with 
the public, he was prominent in business and political affairs of the city and 
was one of Payette’s highly respected men.
Mr. Lauer’s death which occured in Boise on Thursday, December 17th, came as 
the result of a lingering illness caused by cancer of the liver.
Besides his wife, his is survived by one son, Donald Lauer, of San Francisco, 
California, a graduate from Stanford University, who now holds a prominent 
place in one of the largest banking institutions of the city.  He is also 
survived by three brothers, and one sister, Ike Lauer of Chicago, Illinois; 
Milton and Edwin Lauer and Lilly Lauer of this city.
Mr. Lauer was a model husband and father, and the hearts of his many old time 
friends go into warmest sympathy to his bereaved wife and son and other near 
relatives.
The funeral service was very impressive on Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. 
Thomas Ashworth, at the St. James Church, where many friends gathered to pay 
their last respect, and where many beautiful floral offerings, in themselves, 
spoke in highest terms for the departed one.
Interment took place in Riverside cemetery where the body was laid to rest in 
the family lot.
