IDAHO COUNTY FREE PRESS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1887 DIED IN WARRENS - Little Sidney Hexter, only son of Mr. & Mrs.. V. Hexter, died at this place December 5, and was buried today. The nature of his very brief illness was not fully understood by anyone here and before medical aid could reach here from the outside not withstanding all that loving hearts and hands could do, a chair is vacant and a home made desolate. Hon. N.B. Willey officiated at the last sad obsequies and though the day was a wild and angry one, the white population turned out en masse and followed the little boy to his final resting place, beside his infant sister on the hill. Although the inhabitants of Warrens quit the world when they took up their present abode, not one among them all left behind that sterling attribute of humanity which causes sorrow to make the whole world kin. The sorrowing parents of today have the sincere and undivided sympathy of the entire community.
