WILLIAM SPOTTSWOOD PASSES
 
It was with great regret that the news was received that William L. 
Spottswood, for many years one of Payette's prominent business men, had passed 
away at his home at nine south 11th street at 10 o'clock Monday morning after 
an illness covering several weeks, and failing health for a number of years.
 
William Lindsey Spottswood was born October 22, 1841, in Indiana, 
Pennsylvania.  He moved to eastern Iowa in 1864.  In 1865 he was united in 
marriage to Phoebe Helen Boyd at De Witt, Iowa, and later moved to West Side, 
Iowa, where his wife passed away in 1900.  Six children, were born to this 
union, two dying in infancy and one son passing away in 1908,  In 1910 he 
moved to Payette, and for several years was engaged in business here.  Failing 
health forced him to give up his activities and he has since lived a quiet 
life with his daughter, Miss Lillian Spottswood, who ministered to his comfort 
and did all that one could do to make his last days pleasant.
 
There are left to mourn his loss, Mrs. B. L.Wells and Miss Lillian Spottswood, 
daughters, Mr. E. B. Spottswood, manager of the Intermountain Agricultural 
Credit Association, all of Payette, two grandsons, Fay C. Wells, and Kermit 
Spottswood, four great grand children, and one brother, M. L. Spottswood, of 
Los Angeles, California.
 
In West Side, Iowa, Mr. Spottswood served as postmaster for several years, and 
was also active in business circles there.
 
Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and 
were conducted by Rev. A. B. Parrett, pastor of the Methodist church.  
Interment took place at Riverside cemetery.
 
Our sympathy goes but to the son, daughters and other relatives.
