His daughter, Miss Marie Tuney who was in Spokane, Wash., was sent for and all was done that could be. Mr. Tuney came to this country about 40 years ago with his wife, Sophia Hedda Anderson, and made their home in York, Nebr. After the death of his wife he made his home in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebr., where he has a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He was the father of seven children, two dying in childhood. Several years ago he came to Fruitland, Idaho, where he has lived until the past summer. Mr. Tuney was deprived the blessed privilege of seeing the beauties of Idaho as he had been blind for many years. Funeral services were held Sunday from the Swedish Lutheran church, Payette, Rev. G. A. Herbert of Boise, officiating. Temporary interment was made in Riverside Cemetery. The remains will be removed to its then final resting place at York, Nebr., where the wife is buried.
