remaining one year. Six years later
he came again, this time to stay,
and located at Boise. being employ
ed in the brewery. He was married
in Boise in July, 1904, and two chill
dren, boy and girl were the re-
suit of the union. Six years ago he
moved to Emmett and opened ho-
tel in what is now the Blackman
building About three years ago he
leased the Russell hotel and had con-
Quoted it since that time until his
death. His was an eccentric charac-
ter. He was man of strong likes
and dislikes. To his enemies he was
fiercely unrelenting; to his friends,
strongly attached and lavishly gen
rerous. While he had his faults, he
also had his virtues He had a great
big heart and generous nature.
AS citizen he was public spirited
and optimistic, and never turned
down an appeal for aid to help along
any public enterprise. Besides his
widow and two children. he leaves
an aged mother, who is still living
in the old home at Basil.
