hospital.  Interment will be in Kohlerlawn cemetery in Nampa.

	Mr. Blackwell was the oldest resident in Valley county at the time of 
his death.
	Born August 16, 1863, at Joplin, Arkansas, he crossed the plains with 
his parents in 1873 to Grant county, Oregon.  In 1883, he married Francis 
Lenora Shields at Long Creek, Oregon.  His wife preceded him in death in 
1928.  The family left Oregon in 1900 and moved to Washington for a year and a 
half.
	Mr. Blackwell came to Meadows in 1902 and moved to the new town of 
McCall in 1905, where he operated the original Hotel McCall, livery stable, 
meat market and saloon.  At one time he owned five ranches in the valley and 
engaged in the cattle and sheep business.  He also built the Silver Maple 
apartments which he later sold to the late Warren E. Cook.
	Mr. Blackwell helped lay the townsite of McCall and handled a great 
deal of real estate, including a number of village lots, for the late Tom 
McCall, better known as Dad McCall.
	For the past few years, he had made his home with his son, Herman 
Blackwell.  He was stricken with a fatal heart attack on September 29.
	Besides his son, Herman Blackwell, he is survived by another son, 
George Blackwell, of Vale, Oregon, three grandchildren and five great 
grandchildren.

They traveled to Oregon in 1875, not 1873.
