Death of William Lauer

For Thirty Years Identified with Idaho's Business Interests

Idaho lost a pioneer and Payette an honored citizen when William Lauer 
breathed his last at 9:45 Friday morning. Mr. Lauer moved with his family from 
Portland to Boise Basin in 1870, where for a number of years he was 
extensively engaged in merchandising, mining and milling. He had been a 
resident and a hardware merchant of Payette for almost 13 years. Honest and 
upright in every transaction with his fellowman, William Lauer made no 
enemies, and leaves as a heritage to his children a name untarnished by any 
mean act. Those of us who knew him best and knowing his physical infirmities, 
knew what he had to contend with, and wonder at the willpower, the fortitude, 
and withal, the phylosophical bearing of the man. During the last years of his 
life he was a great sufferer, but his home and family circle was his shrine, 
with him the "holy of holies" that knew him best for all that he aspired to 
be, a safe counsellor, true husband and affectionate father.

William Lauer had reached the age of 66 years, 3 months and 27 days: He had 
long been an active and consistent member of the Independent Order of Odd 
Fellows, and was a Past Grand of Payette, Lodge No. 22. He was buried with the 
honors of the order, from the lodge room in this city, at 2:30 Sunday 
afternoon. More than 200 people attended the solemn ceremonies in the hall, 
and the funeral cortege that followed the remains to their last resting place 
in Riverside cemetery was one of the largest and most imposing Payette has 
ever witnessed.

Deceased leaves wife and five children, four sons and a daughter.
