Arthur Edson Passes Away
 
After an illness of more than two years of paralysis, the major part of the 
time being confined to his bed, Arthur Edson, a pioneer and one of the best 
known residents of the valley, passed to the beyond.
 
Services were held yesterday at 12 o'clock at the late home of the deceased, 
Revs. Leder and Blom officiating.  Mr. Edson was a charter member of Ross 
Lodge No 96, I.O.O.F., and a large number of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs were in 
attendance.  The ceremonies of the other were held at the cemetery.  The 
remains were interred in the Keithly Creek cemetery.  The attendance at the 
funeral was one of the largest ever seen in the valley.
 
Arthur Edson was born in Oregon.  He was about 54 years of age.  He located in 
Middle Valley in 1883.  He was married to Ida Hopper, a resident of the valley 
who survives him.  He leaves nine children, all of them living.  Three 
brothers, W. R. of Midvale, Charles of Weiser, and Newell, a resident of 
California, survive him.  All of his children reside here with the exception 
of Mrs. John Bowen, who is a resident of Oregon.
 
Arthur Edson enjoyed the respect and esteem of all who knew him, and his 
family and relatives have the sympathy of all in their loss.
