many Of Oskaloosa's best buildings.
He removed to the country with his

mind was as keen and bright to with

otherwise indicated full knowledge of

delight in keeping up with the world

WATERS.-The following concern
ing the death of a grandson of Mrs.

clipped from a Salmon, Idaho, paper:
The entire community was shocked
by the death of Bertsal Waters, the
beloved and only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry S. Waters, which occurred
at HE o'clock Sunday evening, May
7, 1911, of heart failure, superinduceL
by pneumonia. He had been sick
less than a week, and although the
very best medical skill and tender
nursing were supplied the young soul
could not be detained, but winged its
flight to a better world. Bertsal was
born and lived all his life in Salmon.
He, was only about sixteen years of
age, but tall and manly in appearance.
He, was young man of the finest
character and unusual abilities, and
the highest expectations for his future
were entertained by all who knew
him. In addition to his other quail
ties, his sunny disposition won him
ever increasing friends. In the High
school, and through his whole school
life, he was one of the leaders of his
classes, always of irreproachable con-
duet, and leader in all athletic pur-
suits. His death has plunged the
whole school and his teachers into
the deepest gloom. 1t can truthfully
be said that he was a favorite with all
his teachers, fellow students and
neighbors. His parents are well
known and most highly esteemed
throughout Lemhi county, where they
resided for great many years. At

Challis, and in April of this year the
family moved to that place. The boy,
who was in the ninth grade of the
Salmon High school and making eX-
cellent progress, was permitted to
continue his school work here, and he
made his home with his uncle and
aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. }. NJ. Mcpherson,
of this city. He was upright, steady,
lOVable, dependable and ambitious.
He did his work well, and depOrted
himself in such apprOvabe manner
that everybody liked him-a Charac-
ter rising into promising young man
hood, worthy the emulation of every
child in the valley. His life and con-
duct were exemplary and beautiful.
For some years he has been an almost
constant companion of his cousin, Paul
Mcpherson. News of the boys sick
ness was wired to the parents at
Challis, and both came at once to
Salmon, arriving the latter part of
last week, in time to be at the bed
side of their son during his closing
hours. 1t is terrible blow to this
couple who thus see the flower of
their life plucked from them. Their
burden of distress is sorely heavy,
and it is shared by the entire COM
munity. The funeral was held Tues
day afternoon from the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Mcpherson, conducted by
Rev G. H. Perry assisted hV thp

mark of respect the High school was
closed on Tuesday. Six of his class
mates bore the remains to their last
