THEODORE D. swARTs

In the death of Theodore D. Swartl
at his home near Whitebird, January
%, Idaho county loses another of its
highly respected and fast-fading list OF
pioneer citizens.
Born at Lebanon, o., March II, 1S47
crossing the plains with his parents, the
late John A. and Mary D. Swarts, they
located at Mount Vernon, Cal, and en-
gagged in mining at Nevada City, CAL,
until 1868, when the family removed
to Idaho county and spent several years
in mining at Florence, Warren and
Salmon river. From 1875 to 1879 Mr..
Swarts conducted an express business
between Mount Idaho and Warren, and
took an active part in the Indian war
of 1877, and was wounded in the bat
tie of Whitebird on the battle ground
where two years later he established
his permanent home.
On Aug. p, 1877 he was united in
marriage to Miss Electa Louis Brown,
daughter of another wellknown pioneer
family of this county, AMI to this
union nine children were born Mrs.
Pearl E. Davis, Seattle Wn Lewis J.

a native of Alsace, who came to the
United States in 1777 with Marquis de
Lafayette, and fought in the Revolu-
tiOnary war, and settled in the Shena-
1Oah, from whence came the paternal
name of Swarts.
Descended thus from families on
both sides who have helped to max
American history, in the far east and I

maintained in his own person the high I
qualities of the very best citizenship /
