PAYETTE VALLEY PIONEER CALLED
 
David Shearer, one of the early pioneers of the Payette Valley, passed away at 
five o'clock Tuesday morning at the Holy Rosary Hospital at Ontario, following 
several weeks illness.  He was taken with a severe attack of Influenza some 
two months ago and had recovered sufficiently to be about when a relapse and 
complication set in that seemed  to baffle all medical aid and on Friday of 
last week was removed to the hospital where he grew rapidly worse ending in 
his death early Tuesday morning.
 
He was born near Little Sioux, Iowa, Feb. 16, 1856, where he grew to manhood 
coming to Payette in the Spring of 1883, he was one of those sturdy pioneers 
who endured the hardships bravely and took part in the building up of Payette 
where he has constantly made his home for nearly forty years.  His disposition 
was to look upon the bright side of life and to deal fairly with his fellow 
man, and was always ready and willing to lend assistance where it was most 
needed.
 
He is survived by one daughter Mrs. Carrie Sims now living at Memphis, Tenn., 
one brother and sister in Iowa, and one brother, a minister, living at 
Independence, Mo., two half sisters in Omaha, Neb., two half brothers Tom and 
James Shearer, both former residents of Payette, the latter arriving here from 
Rogerson, Idaho, Wednesday morning.
 
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock from Lauer's 
Undertaking Parlors, conducted by Rev. E. E. Long of Lamoni, Iowa, who came to 
Caldwell, a few days ago on another mission, and to Payette, Tuesday evening 
at the request of a sister of the deceased who lives at Lamoni, that he might 
meet her brother and other relatives little thinking he would be called upon 
to preach his funeral sermon.
 
Interment was made in Riverside cemetery beside his wife who preceded him in 
1917.
