HARRISON FLATS RESIDENCE DIES:
Funeral Services Held Here Saturday for James Everett Wescott, 83
Funeral services were conducted from the Wessa Chapel in this city last Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock for James E. Wescott, resident of Harrison Flats who passed away Thursday, August 23. Mr. Wescott was 83 years of age and his death was due to infirmities incident to his advanced years.
James Everett Wescott was born March 8, 1862, at Wescott Station, near St. Paul, Minnesota. He resided at Wescott Station until he was 28 years old, and was married in St. Paul in 1887 to Miss Anna Schimledecker, who passed away in 1914.
The deceased lived in St. Paul for 20 years, where he worked for Finch, VanSlyck and McConville as city desk man, but 35 years ago he came to Idaho when the Harrison Flats district was opened up to take a homestead. He had engaged in farming for the past 30 years.
Left to mourn his death are one son, Howard Wescott, Spokane; two daughters, Mrs. Alice Swendig, Harrison Flats, and Mrs. Mabel Swendig, Bremerton, Washington.; one brother, George Wescott, St. Paul and 11 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Rev. Otis A. Lee, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, officiated at the rites Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Lee sang, "Near My God To Thee" and "Rock of Ages," and the body was carried to its last resting place in Woodlawn Cemetery by the following pallbearers: Earl Fly, Eric Kamp, Elmer Dillon, Chris Jorgenson and Rasmus Jensen.
(James E. Wescott's son, James, must have predeceased him because his name wasn't listed in the survivors. James remained in St. Paul when the other children either came with, or followed their father to Idaho.)
