WALTER RAY McCONNELL

Walter Ray McConnell, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McConnell, died Monday 
night, April 30, 1917, at their home on Pennsylvania Avenue. Walter was born 
June 2nd, 1898 at Doyleville, Colo., and came to Payette with his parents 
about 14 years ago. The next year they moved to their present home. Walter's 
school days were spent in the Fruitland schools. He was a member of the 
Freshman class in High School. He was sick but a week with pneumonia but 
seemed to be seriously ill from the first. All was done that the family 
physician, who had known Walter from childhood, and a loving family and 
friends could do, but all bowed to the will of Heaven, feeling sure "that a 
wiser hand than yours or mine, pours out this potion for our lips to drink," 
and that when we shall clearly understand we will say "God knew the best." 
Walter has been a member of the Baptist church since twelve years of age and 
when Rev. Kiles was here, he belonged to the Boys' prayer meeting class, 
always taking an active part. Members of this class acted as pall bearers. His 
last words as he bade the members of the family 'good bye' were, "Yes, I am 
going home to Jesus." The funeral services were held from the Baptist church 
at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon by Rev. Ford Burtch.
