Pioneer Called to Rest

After being ill nearly constantly since last December, George Van Doozer died 
last Saturday at a hospital in Boise, leaving a wife, three sons, one 
daughter, his father and many friends to mourn his death. If he had lived 
until October 23 he would have been 49 years old.

Mr. Van Doozer was a pioneer of Payette, having lived here for 20 years or 
more. He had lived on the place where his family now reside for 17 years. He 
had been engineer on the Payette Valley railroad since it was built until the 
time of his illness.

The body was brought to Payette from Boise Monday and the funeral services 
were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Methodist church, Rev. McCoard 
conducting them. At the cemetery the services were under the auspices of the 
Modern Brotherhood of America, of which order he was a member, carrying with 
it $2000 insurance.

His daughter, Mrs. W. S. Cotton, arrived in Payette from Tacoma Tuesday night, 
too late for the funeral, so the body was exhumed Wednesday that she might 
have a last look at the remains of her father.

His brother, Fred Van Doozer of Seattle, formerly a resident of Payette, did 
not come. He also had a sister living in New York.
