C. H. LESTER DIES AT SALEM, OREGON
 
C. H. Lester, who with his wife, left Payette last fall for Salem, Ore., in 
hopes of regaining health, following a severe spell of illness last summer, 
died at that place Saturday, November 2nd, thus another of Payette's prominent 
and highly respected business men has been called to his reward.
 
Mr. Lester has been a resident of this city for the past 21 years, and during 
the greater part of that time has been one of our prominent business men, 
taking his full share of the work in civic affairs and a great interest in 
helping to build up the community.  He was a strong advocate for any movement 
to assist in the morals of the community.  He was an ardent worker in the 
Christian faith, a member of the Baptist church of this city, where he was 
always found ready and willing to do his full share and more, in building up 
the organization for the cause of Christ.  Mr. Lester was a good man.  He will 
be missed in many ways.
 
Mr. Lester was born at Islip, New York, April 2nd, 1874, and was married to 
Ella Pearl Kay at Chester, Wash., November 17, 1903.  To them was born one son 
Harold, who died at the age of ten years.
 
Mr. and Mrs. Lester came to Payette from Spokane, Wash., in 1903, and have 
continually lived here where they have many friends who will feel the loss 
with Mrs. Lester and other relatives and will extend to her their heart felt 
sympathy.
 
The funeral was held from the Baptist church, Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, 
conducted by the pastor, Rev. Fraser.  During the services all business houses 
were closed.  Interment was made in Riverside cemetery.
 
CARD OF THANKS
In this way we wish to express our sincere thanks to our friends in our recent 
great sorrow in the death of our beloved husband, brother and son.  We haven't 
words at our command to convey to you our appreciation for your unlimited 
kindness and for the many beautiful flowers.
MRS. E. PEARL LESTER
MR. AND MRS. WM. W. KAY
