Pioneer Who Met Lincoln Buried Here
 
Funeral rites for Mrs. Clara Ogg Pratt, 102, a pioneer who once served Abraham 
Lincoln at a banquet, and who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ollie 
Adams at Frederickburg, Iowa last Friday were held at the Payette Brethren 
church, Tuesday afternoon with the Rev. H. G. Shank in charge.
 
The remains were accompanied here from Iowa by a great grandson, Wendell 
Burkholder and interment in charge of Landons was in Riverside cemetery.
 
Mrs. Pratt came to Idaho with her husband, Lemuel, a carpenter, in 1910.  The 
Pratts were well known throughout the Boise and Payette valleys.  Mr. Pratt, a 
civil war veteran, died in 1910, 44 years after the couple married at Landins, 
Mich. on Oct. 24, 1866.
 
Born in Maryland, Mrs. Pratt went to northern Illinois where she served 
Lincoln at a banquet held at Freeport.  She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. 
H. A. Beckwith at Nampa and Mrs. Minnie Park of Frederickburg.
