DEATH OF LEMUEL PRATT

Payette residents were filled with sorrow and surprise on Tuesday morning of 
this week to learn of the sudden death of Lemuel Pratt a well known and 
respected resident of this city. Mr. Pratt had been a sufferer for years from 
Bright’s disease but it was not generally known that he was in a dangerous 
condition. He had been subject to severe attacks but for the past few days had 
been feeling as well as usual. Monday evening he expressed no unusual 
condition as to himself but was stricken early Tuesday morning and passed 
suddenly away. Other complications other than the chronic ailment hastened the 
failure of nature to withstand the inroads of disease. Lemuel Pratt was well 
known to a large number of Payette people. He was one of those quiet 
unassuming men that win their way into the hearts of many by their true worth 
and high standard of citizenship.

He was born February 26th, 1843, at Dover, Maine. His parents emigrated to 
Iowa when he was three years old. During the war of the rebellion Mr. Pratt 
served with honor and distinction with the Fourteenth Iowa Infantry.

On October 27th, 1865 he was united in marriage to Julia Ogg(?) and to this 
union were born five children all of whom are living. C. E. Pratt and Mrs. 
Henry Beckwith, of Payette, L. B. Pratt, of Harmony, Minnesota, Mrs. J. J. 
Parks and Mrs. H. O. Adams, of Fredericksburg, Iowa.

In 1899 the family moved to North Dakota where they resided But a short time, 
coming to Payette in 1900 where Mr. Pratt has since made his home.

The funeral services will be held Sunday at the Brethren church but as there 
are so many to come from such a distance and the time of the arrival of the 
trains so uncertain the hour cannot be given at this time.
