DEATH OF J. H. SPAINHOWER

Mrs. J. H. Spainhower received a wire Monday of the death of her husband at 
Phoenix, Arizona, Monday morning. He had just lately gone there accompanied by 
his mother, Mrs. C. E. Spainhower, in the hopes that the change of climate 
would benefit his health. Mr. Spainhower has had asthma for a good many years 
but the last year he had suffered with heart trouble and dropsy. Last fall he 
consulted specialists in Portland, who relieved him at the time, and he has 
been able to be about until the past month.

Mr. John H. Spainhower was born near Webster City, Iowa, July 24th, 1872. In 
November 1893, he was united in marriage to Miss Fairy Thompson, of Webster 
City, Iowa. They made their home for fourteen years at Mesa, Arizona. In the 
spring of 1908 they came to Payette and purchased their ranch at Fruitland and 
built their beautiful home on Fruitland Avenue, moving to it the next year.

Mr. Spainhower has been a member of the Baptist church most of his life and 
was a deacon in the Fruitland church at the time of his death. He was also a 
member of the Odd Fellows lodge at Payette. He was loved and respected by all 
who knew him and will be greatly missed by his many friends and neighbors. He 
leaves a wife, three children - Velma, Floyd and Virgil, his mother, Mrs. C. 
E. Spainhower, a sister, Mrs. Lydia Williams of Webster City, and a brother, 
Luther Spainhower of San Diego, Calif. His father and a baby daughter preceded 
him to the heavenly home. "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. 
There is only a veil between us and heaven." Mrs. Spainhower left Monday noon 
for Phoenix, Arizona. the burial will probably be at San Diego, where his 
father is buried.
