George M. Parsons Dead

General George M. Parsons died at Boise at 11 o'clock Saturday morning, from a 
complication of diseases resulting from kidney trouble. The general had been a 
sufferer from this disease for nearly three years, having had several serious 
attacks from which it was hardly thought he would recover. He has been an 
active worker, and the severe attack which caused his death was brought on by 
the fact that he insisted on taking an active part in business affairs up to 
the time when he was compelled to take to his bed.

He came to Boise in 1893, upon his election as attorney general of the state, 
in which office he served two terms. Since his term as attorney general he had 
been one of the prominent attorneys of Boise, having been engaged in a large 
number of important cases.

He was a veteran of the Civil war, having enlisted as a drummer boy and worked 
his way up to the rank of a commissioned officer. He has taken a prominent 
part in G. A. R. matters, having for some years been department commander of 
the state of Idaho. He was a member of the benevolent and Protective order of 
Elks, as well as the G. A. R., and these two orders took charge of the funeral 
which was held Monday afternoon at four o'clock.
