IRA WHITE, PIONEER BURIED HERE SUNDAY
 
Ira White was born in Scioto County, Ohio, March 13, 1854 and died at his home 
in Payette, December 9, 1931, aged 77 years, 8 months and 26 days.
 
In infancy he went with his parents to Washington County, Iowa, when he grew 
to manhood.
 
In April 1876, Mr. White married Miss Phoebe C. Huffman, whom he had known 
from childhood, their parents having been neighboring pioneer settlers.  To 
this union were born three children; one son, R. T. C. White, who died 
December 10, 1894 at the age of 13 years, and 2 daughters, Pearl and Gail.  In 
1878 he and his young wife traveled in a covered wagon to Guthrie County, 
Iowa, where they again established a home.
 
After completing a business college course at Keokuk, Iowa, he was later 
graduated from a course in pharmacy in 1892.
 
In February 1909, he and his family moved to Idaho.  Since that time he has 
resided in Weiser, Fruitland and Payette, with the exception of 2 years which 
were spent in Eugene, Oregon.
 
At an early age Mr. White united with the Church of Christ.  Mr. White has 
served as elder in the church for 14 years.
 
He was loved by all who really knew him.  He was known as having been a 
wonderful father and husband, in every way, kind, gentle, unselfish and 
loving -- an immeasurable loss in his home.  A great and good man has fallen 
and will be missed in the community where he has been an honorable example of 
citizenship and loyal friend and Christian gentleman.
 
Mr. White leaves his widow, two children; Mrs. J. D. Baker of Payette, and 
Mrs. A. F. Kinnison of Tuscon, Arizona; three grandchildren, Mrs. Mildred 
Mangum of Payette, Olive Kinnison of Tuscon, Arizona and Bernard Baer of 
Payette; and one great grand child, Master Teddy Mangum of Payette.  Funeral 
services were held Sunday December 12 at 2:30 p. m. from Landon's funeral 
chapel, Rev. J. Raymond Fite, officiating.  Interment was in the Riverside 
cemetery.

Mrs. Ira White, Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Kinnison, Mr. and
