DEATH OF PETER MORDHORST

Peter Mordhorst an aged resident of this valley and one who had lived here for 
eleven years died at his home north of the city on Tuesday March 7th from old 
age and a complication of diseases. Mr. Mordhorst was a well known resident of 
the valley and in the vicinity in which he lived had the friendship and 
respect of all his neighbors. He leaves to mourn his loss two children both 
residents of this valley. George Mordhorst and Mrs. Emma Precht. The funeral 
services occurred on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the ranch home, a 
large number of friends paying their last tribute of respect to a well known 
friend and neighbor. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery beside the 
remains of his wife who passed away just a year ago in January last.

Peter Mordhorst was born in Germany, April 3, 1839, and came to America in May 
1867 and first located at Davenport, Iowa. After a residence of 2 years in 
Davenport, he moved to Tama county and in 1877 he moved to Carroll county, 
Iowa, where he lived until the year 1900 when in company with others who were 
seeking the far west he came to Payette Valley and since that time has resided 
here. Peter Mordhorst was of a very quiet, retiring nature but was one of 
those neighbors that are missed in the neighborhood in which they reside when 
called away. The sympathy of a large number of friends will be with his son 
and daughter in this loss of their father coming so soon after the death of 
their mother.
