Harry Pence Rites Tuesday
 
Lifelong Resident of Payette County Passes Away In This City
 
Funeral services for Harry B. Pence, 60, lifelong resident of Payette valley, 
were held at 9 a. m. Tuesday at the Methodist church.  Following the service, 
conducted by the Rev. Dallas McNeil of Wendell, Idaho, former local minister, 
interment was in the Riverside cemetery.
 
Mr. Pence died Sunday at his home after an illness of several months.
 
Born May 4, 1880, near Payette on the home ranch of his parents, Peter and 
Anna Pence, Harry Bixby Pence began his life interest in livestock and 
ranching in 1881, when his parents took home by wagon with a cattle train from 
here to the Omaha market.  Following his education in the Payette schools, he 
farmed on Big Willow creek at the home ranch in partnership with his brother, 
Walter.  On December 13, 1908, he married Della Applegate, daughter of a 
pioneer family here.
 
In 1919 he sold his interest in the ranch and moved with his wife to Payette.  
Since that time he had been in the livestock feeding business, serving as vice 
president of the Idaho Alfalfa Milling company, and later as manager of the 
same organization under the name of the Payette Alfalfa Mill.  He was widely 
interested in real estate and livestock throughout the community and acted as 
director of Payette banking institutions for 20 years.
 
Surviving are his wife, Delia Pence; two sisters, Mrs. R. D. Bradshaw of 
Wendell and Mrs. Belle Satoris of Los Angeles; three brothers, E. C. Pence of 
South Gate, California, A. L. Pence of Chelan Falls, Washington, and Walter G. 
Pence of Payette; and several nieces and nephews.
 
Asked to be honorary pall bearers at the services Tuesday were D. B. Coates, 
W. D. Case, York Eberle, F. C. Broderson and Scott Brundage, all of Payette; 
Boise Riggs and Clayton Knox of Emmett; C. E. Craig of Midvale; Marian Moore 
of Ellensburg, Washington; D. D. Alvord of Twin Falls, Idaho; and Rae 
McFarland of Salt Lake City.
 
The Landon Funeral home was in charge of arrangements.
