    JOHN BEAL
    John Bennett Beal, an old-time resident of the Weiser district, died suddenly at Boise last Saturday, (August 24). He had undergone a surgical operation in a capital city hospital and was discharged and had started for his home when he sudden¬ly collapsed and passed away before help could be summoned.
    Mr. Beal was born at Rossville, Kansas, December 4, 1871. He was united in marriage to Effie M. Bet¬zer, February 29, 1896. With his family he came to the Weiser dis¬trict in 1911, settling first on the Flat, but later going to the Sunnyside district, where the family home has been maintained, with the exception of one year in California, for the last 21 years. He had always followed farming. He was known as a loving husband and father and a good neighbor. He was not a mem¬ber of any church or lodge, but his friends say he was a believer in Christ and tried to live a good life.
    He is survived by his widow of Weiser, one son, Lyle, of Portland, and two daughters, Mrs. Lana Ra¬ney of Parna, and Mrs. Gladys Gay of Bandon, Ore. There are two grandsons and two granddaughters. There is also one sister, Anna Cox, living at Reading, Kansas.
    Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at the Northam chapel by Dr. Herbert F. Jones of the Christian Church, assisted by Francis Jackson and Lorys Peery. Interment was in Hillcrest cemetery.
