Pioneer Merchant Vern Spaulding Passes Tuesday
 
Vern Spaulding, 68, pioneer Payette merchant, died at his home Tuesday after a 
long illness.
 
The Spaulding family was associated with the hardware business in Payette for 
57 years.
 
Vern Spaulding's father, L. W. Spaulding and M. E. Wood established the first 
hardware store in Payette in 1902.  Vern went into business with his father in 
1925 after the death of M. E. Wood.  When the senior Spaulding died in 1942, 
Vern Spaulding continued the business until it was closed out in 1959.  The 
business was located in a building which was torn down to make room for the 
new bank building.
 
He was born January 23, 1893, at West Moreland, Kan., and came from Manhattan, 
Kan., to Payette in 1901.
 
Mr. Spaulding married Marion Barnes in Boise on April 25, 1920.  He was a 
veteran of World War I, a member of the American Legion, Episcopal church, 
Masonic Lodge, Scottish Rite and El Korah Shrine.
 
He is survived by his wife, two brothers, R. U. Spaulding, Blackfoot, and 
Loran, Salem, Ore., and one sister, Dr. Velma Spaulding, Stockton, Calif.
 
Services will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. at the St. James Episcopal church 
with the Rev. Fred Pickett officiating.  Interment will be at Riverside 
cemetery under the direction of Shaffer's Chapel.
