DAVID H PIATT DIES AFTER SHORT ILLNESS

Was an old resident and stood high in public esteem.

David H. Piatt died Friday of last week at the family home near Kootenai after an
illness of three weeks. The funeral service was conducted Monday afternoon at the
Methodist church by the Rev. W. Nesbitt Byars. The seating capacity of the church
auditorium and lecture room was taxed to capacity and many stood during the
service. The large attendance and the profuse offering of flowers silently
attested the high place the deceased had held in the esteem of the community
where he had lived for the past 18 years.

David Hannibal Piatt was born in Washington county, Ohio, June 20, 1876. When a
boy, he moved with his parents to Knappa, Wisconsin, where he grew to manhood.
There in 1898 he was united in marriage with Miss Ludia Gunter. In 1901 they came
west to Idaho and settled in Bonner County, where they have since resided. Since
then he has been connected with the cedar department of the Humbird Lumber
company. Following an illness of company. (Sentence does not make sense) He was a
member of the M. W. A. Fraternity. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ludia Piatt,
his son, Clarence, and daughter, Crissie, his mother, Mrs. A. V. Thatcher of
Sandpoint and his brothers and sisters.

He stood high in the estimation of his employers as a faithful and efficient
manager of his department and the Humbird Lumber company, and was a favorite with
his fellow members of the force. He was known as Dave among his associates, and
his even temper and cheerful disposition endeared him to all.
