very largely attended, people coming from all the nearby towns and surrounding 
country. Rev. G. W. Barnes of Payette conducted the service. His remarks on 
the theme "It is not all of Life to live, nor all of Death to die" were very 
kind and sympathetic. Mrs. Alberts and Mr. Paul Brainard sang a beautiful 
duet, and the other music was by a double quartette of the Fruitland people. 
The floral offerings were many and beautiful given by friends and associates 
in the business world, a tribute to his sterling worth and the high esteem in
