Another Pioneer Passes

Another pioneer has passed the great divide in the person of Jacob Stroup, who 
was one of the oldest settlers in this section, both as to age and residence, 
having come to Washoe valley in 1873, and has lived here continuously since 
that date.  
Jacob Stroup was born February 18, 1835, at Tippicanoe, Indiana, an died 
January 28, 1925, at his home in Ontario.  The family later moved to Mercer 
County, Illinois, where he grew to manhood.  From that place they moved to 
Alva, Missouri, where in 1872 he was married to Susan Draper, and to this union 
seven children were born, six of whom, with the widow, survive:  A. A. Stroup, 
S. C. Stroup, who reside at Washoe, Mrs. Jessie McCarthy, Frances Russell, and 
Guy Stroup of Ontario, and Mrs. Alta Coughanour, of Payette.
He and Mrs. Stroup celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary several years 
ago.
He, with his family, came to Washoe before Payette was settled, and has seen a 
great many changes take place.  He was engaged in mining in the early days, in 
Montana, before coming to Idaho, where he has since been a prominent rancher.
He was a charter member of Washoe Lodge No. 289, F. and A. M., Payette, Idaho, 
under whose auspices the funeral will be held in the Masonic Temple Friday 
afternoon, with Rev. Reese, of the Congregational Church at Ontario, 
officiating.  
He is a man who will be missed in the community because he has always stood for 
better things.  His influence has always been on the side of right and justice 
and he has always maintained the standard of the old pioneers who laid the 
foundation and ground work for the better things which we are now enjoying in 
this community.
The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved widow and other 
members of the family.  
(Burial at Riverside cemetery)
