Columbus French, 77 years old, died at his home Sunday morning August 17. Funeral services were held at the Congregational church Monday morning after which the body was laid to rest in Parkview Cemetery. His death was not entirely unexpected, as his relatives and friends had realized he was seriously ill with recovery doubtful. After being ill several months Mr. French was stricken with what appeared to be paralysis, Monday of last week, from which he never rallied, lying almost a week as if in natural slumber unable to take any nourishment, until Sunday morning he quietly breathed his last without regaining consciousness.
Mr. French was born Nov. 29, 1836, at Cato, New York. At the age of 9 years he moved to Jackson, Michigan, where he grew to manhood. On Jan 1, 1865, he was united in marriage to Miss Susan Graves. Later they moved to Nebraska where they spent two years and then going farther west to Union, Oregon, from where after two years more they came to New Plymouth where he spent the remainder of his life with the exception of two years spent in Montana.
Mr. French is survived by his wife, and one son, T. D. French of this place. New Plymouth people wish to express their sympathy for the bereaved family.(Payette Enterprise, Thursday, August 21, 1913)ch
