DEATH and BURIAL
JOSE BENGOECHEA

Jose Bengoechea, one of the best
known Basque citizens of Idaho, and
for the past thirty-three years IA
resident of the state, died at his
home in this city last Friday even
ing The immediate cause of his
death was Brights disease, from
which he had been a sufferer for
several years, but this was aggray-
ated by the business reverses he had
suffered and it may be truly said
that he died of broken heart.
Mr.. Bengoechea was for many
years in the sheep business and was
for many years regarded as the
wealthiest ffockmaster among all
his countrymen. The reimbursement
of war imitation wiped out the great
err part of his holdings, together with
those off his more than 20 partners.
Since that time he has been sick
and his death was expected for some
time
During his life he was the most
charitable of men and many of his
countrymen got their start In life
with his assistance.
He leaves wife and three small
children besides a number of other
relatives in Mountain Home and in
Spain. He was sixty-two years of
age at the time of his death.
Funeral services were held at the
Catholic church Monday morning,
and immense soncourse of friends
gathering to pay their last sad re-
spects to one who had been their
friend.
The funeral services were very
elaborate, the three affairs being
draped in black, and the celebratants
of the Requiem Mass being also
vested in black. Father Lobell,
celebrant, was assisted by Father
Canning Of Nampa, Deacon of the
Mass and Father Hoffman of Cald-
we'll, sub deacon The choir from
Glenns Ferry chanted the requiem
mass and responses in low and
solemn tones. This choir was made
up of Mr.. Murray, Mrs. Ryan and
Miss Lyable with Mrs. Murray or
ganist. Mrs. Ellen Jones, with Miss
OMAHA at the organ sang ave
Maria" during the offertory. The
local church choir joined the Glenns
Ferry singers in rendering "Jesus
Savior of My SOUL" before the SER
mon, which was preached by Right
Reverend Daniel M. German, Bishop
of Idaho. Father German preached
message of hope and comfort to
the family and friends of the de-
ceased, pointing out the promises of
the Christian faith THAT they would
be reunited after Judgment.
Mr.. Bengoechea's remains were
buried in the Mountain Home ceme-
terry.
