Death of Il. B. Moss.

The death OF A B. Moss OF
Patette removes another land
mars in the trail that led to the
glorious civilization OF the great
Northwest. In all the efficient
work done in Idaho during it's
formative period, A. B Moss was
a prominent factor He was
amongst the foremost in all civic
and educational matters. He
was amongst the heforemost in po-
litical and lodge circles, and in
everything that makes for NOR
ality and humanity. His death
will fall heaviest on his home
town, and on Canvon county,
but the whole Northwest will
miss him. His funeral was held
at Payette Tuesday, under the
auspices OF the Masonic order.
j. c. Baldridge and NJ. A. Bates
were in attendance from Parma.
