DEATH OF S. C. ARRENDIELL
Schuyler Colfax Arrendiell was born in Mountain City, Tenn., November 8, 1868 and died at the Veterans' Hospital in Boise on January 5, 1926, death coming as the result of a long illness which necessitated an operation from which he never properly rallied.
Mr. Arrendiell, who came of an old Southern family, originally of French descent, grew to manhood in the place of his birth, where on February 16, 1892, he was married to Miss Mattie Morley. Shortly after their marriage the couple moved to Oklahoma, where they lived for fifteen years, when they moved to New Mexico. In 1912 they came to Payette, where Mrs. Arrendiell's mother Mrs. Brannock and her husband made their home.
When, in 1898, America went to war with Spain, Mr. Arrendeill made instant response to his country's need of men, serving throughout the war. Besides being a Veteran of Foreign Wars he was a member of the American Legion, and of the Masonic and K of P Orders. By profession he was a farmer, one of those men who love the soil, and who, loving it, seemed to have the power to make it yield them abundance. Although Mr. Arrendiell had no children of his own, he loved all children, and might always be found - himself never idle - with an admiring circle of little ones, who hearkened breathlessly to his wonderful tales of bird and beast, or of his own picturesque boyhood. He was a dutiful son, both to his own parents, and to his wife's mother whom he regarded as his own, a loving husband, and a friend loyal even to death. Long will his memory live in the hearts of those who knew and honored him.
Besides his widow and mother-in-law, Mr. Arrendiell is survived by four brothers and two sisters, all residents outside of the State.
The funeral will be in charge of the Masons at the Methodist Church at 2:30 Friday afternoon and interment will be made in Riverside Cemetery.

S. C. ARRENDIELL
A shadow of gloom was cast over the entire community when the news of the death of S. C. Arrendiell reached Payette. While his failing health had caused his friends and loved ones many anxious moments, it was hoped that he might be spared.
He was taken to the U. S. Veteran's hospital at Boise about a month ago and on December 24, underwent an operation of a very serious nature from which he never properly rallied. Death came the morning of January the fifth to relieve his suffering which was most intense.
Schuyler Colfax Arrendiell was born near Mountain City, Tennessee, November 8, 1868. He grew to manhood at this place and on February 16, 1892 was united in marriage to Mattie Morley, who with her mother, is left to mourn her loss. He is also survived by four brothers and two sisters.
They spent twelve years in Oklahoma and five in New Mexico, from which place they move to Payette where they have continued to reside.
He was a man of sterling qualities; while he enjoyed the comforts of his own home he did not hesitate to answer his country's call for men when war was declared with Spain.
He served until the end of the war and when he was honorable discharged from his Country's service he resumed his occupation until his last illness.
He bore his suffering cheerfully, and was always appreciative of the efforts made for his comfort, his wife being in constant attendance to the last.
His pleasant disposition and readiness to help those around him with a kind word as well as material assistance have made for him a large circle of friends.
He was a member of the American Legion, the Knights of Pythias Lodge and the Mason Lodge.
The funeral services were held Friday afternoon at two-thirty at the Methodist church, Rev. V. E. Hall delivery a touching tribute to the deceased. The songs were furnished by a quartet of his brothers Masons.
The Knights of Pythias and the American Legion attended the body.
The body was laid to rest in the Riverside cemetery, the burial rites being conducted by the Masonic Order.
