E. H. Yeager Dies from Shotgun Wound

Edward Herman Yager, 53, well known farmer of this area was found dead from a 
shotgun wound in the head in a field at his farm about a mile East of the city 
last Saturday morning about 9 o'clock.
Authorities believe that it was a case of suicide as Decker had been called by 
members of the family to search for Yager, when they discovered that he had 
left his home and had taken his 20 gauge shotgun along, but before he (Decker) 
could get away from the office another call came in that the body had been 
discovered in the field. 
Yager was born in this city Sept. 26, 1895. He is survived by two daughters 
Mrs. Doris Clausen, Ontario; and Mrs. Ruth Pay???er of Los Angeles, Calif. and 
one son Donald of Payette; one brother Frank of Fruitland; two sisters Miss 
Llcy Yager of Fruitland and Mrs. Ida Martin of Everett, Wash. and six 
grandchildren.
Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon at the Shaffer Chapel with the 
Rev. Paul Felthouse, of the Baptist church in charge. Interment was in the 
Riverside cemetery.

(*Note-This obit contained two different spellings of the surname Yeager/Yager. 
Due to a poor copy, one name was not legible and there were spelling errors 
that were left as they were printed.)
