DIES IN MEXICO

Mrs. P. H. Brown has received the sad intelligence that her father Albert Grothe, died in Mexico City, August 19th. Mr. Grothe was sick and a surgical operation was necessary, which was performed, but from which he did not rally. Mr. Grothe was for more than ten years a prominent citizen of Payette. He was born in Hagen Germany, in 1841, came to Payette in 1891. For the past fifteen years he has made his home in Mexico, where he had extensive mining interests. He leaves a widow, his second wife, and four children by his first wife, Miss S. H. Grothe, of Boise and Mrs. P.H. Brown, of Payette.

Mrs. Grothe is now placed in a very trying position. Her step-daughters are far away and hardly know what she can do. There is a state of war in Mexico and it is now trouble out and anxious times in Mexico City, her home, and the awful war is on at her former home in Germany. Mr. Grothe was a member in good standing of Washoe Lodge No 28, A. F. and A. M. The Independent expresses sympathy, as we believe, for the entire community, on behalf of the bereaved.
