Funeral services were
held Sunday afternoon at the Methodist church for Harold
Jester, 32, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Jester, Jr. Jester
who has been ill all summer died last Thursday night.
Services were conducted by Dr. W. J. Boone, the Rev.
Edwin Lawrence and the Rev. C. O. Heath. Besides his
parents, Jester is survived by his widow and two small
daughters; three brothers, Theodore, instructor of mathematics
in the Couer d'Alene high school; Earl Jester, College of
Idaho senior and Ernest, a sophomore at the college.
Jester was born in Iowa but came to Caldwell with his
parents when he was quite young and lived here continuously
until his death. He was graduated from the Caldwell high
school and the College of Idaho. Following completion of
his college work, Jester accepted a position as field
secretary at the college, a place he held for 10 years.
About a year ago he resigned to enter the employ of H. J.
McNeel, local contractor, as draughtsman and general office
manager. He was regarded as a young man of unusual
promise by Mr. McNeel having shown surprising talent in
mastering difficult construction problems.
Death was due to results of an infection which baffled
physicians who attended him during his long illness and which
resulted in heart complications.
Burial was in Canyon Hill cemetery. |
