Mr. B. F. Swatman, a highly respected citizen of New Plymouth, passed away at 
his home Feb. 28th.

He had been in failing health for the past two years but continued in the drug

that community as he was always a leader in public affairs and took an 
interest in the upbuilding of the City of New Plymouth.

to Josephine Weatherhead, March 3, 1886. He came with his family to Payette in 
1904 and located at New Plymouth a few months later, and engaged in the drug 
business and has made New Plymouth their home until the time of his death. 
Besides a wife, he is survived by four children, Mrs. Fred Harper of Emmett, 
Miss Lillian Swatman, teacher in the Fruitland school, Miss Charlotte, 
Superintendent at Payette and Elmer Swatman now attending College some where 
on the coast. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the 
Congregational Church of which he had been a faithful member, conducted by 
Rev. Knight and Rev. Rice of New Plymouth. Interment was made in Park View 
Cemetery.
