PIONEER CITIZEN IS LAID TO REST

The funeral of John McGlinchey, the highly esteemed pioneer citizen of 
Payette, who passed away at his home in this city at 11 o'clock Wednesday 
morning, January 12th, took place Sunday afternoon.

A brief but impressive service was held at the McGlinchey residence at 1 
o'clock when a large number of the old-time friends and neighbors viewed the 
remains and extended their heartfelt condolence to the bereaved relatives.

The casket occupied a place in the large room where the deceased had spent the 
happiest hours of his life in the entertainment of those who were near and 
dear to his great heart -- that ever beat in unison with the better things of 
life -- love of home, family and friends.

The great banks of flowers, embracing many beautiful floral designs that bore 
works expressive of the love and esteem in which the memory of the deceased is 
held in this community, were more eloquent than any language the tongue could 
frame to utter.

The short and simple service at the house consisted only of the singing of a 
duet, "Perfect Peace," by Mrs. Hamilton of Weiser, and Mrs.. Masonhelmer of 
this city.

The body was then borne to the Church of the Holy Family, where a most 
impressive funeral service was conducted according to the established rites of 
the Catholic church, of which Mr. McGlinchey had been a consistent communicant 
throughout his life.

The funeral was largely attended by the people of the community and by friends 
from Boise, Caldwell, Weiser and other towns of this section. The burial took 
place in Riverside Cemetery.

As a pioneer of the early days, in Idaho and Wyoming, Mr. McGlinchey did his 
full share of the important work that was necessary to be done by the men who 
gave the best of their lives toward the laying of a sure foundation for that 
prosperity and happiness now being enjoyed by those who followed later in 
their foot steps. He was plain and unassuming, but was firm in his convictions 
and intensely earnest in his efforts to be a factor for the betterment of the 
community in which he lived. He filled many important positions of public 
trust and moved in a large field of business activity during his life, and it 
may truthfully be said now that he is gone, that the record of his earthly 
stewardship is one that is altogether worthy of the very highest type of good 
citizenship.
