John D. Chapen
(Age 89)
Born at home, outside Bonners Ferry Idaho at Copeland to Dee and
Lucille Chapen, he was the eldest of six. He arrived in the Coeur
d’Alenes at age six by wagon with grandfather and family in tow.
A new start for the family in a new place. In those days, you
traveled back and forth to school by use of railroad handcar, or by use
of horse and sleigh. In those times young men grew up
quickly and worked alongside their fathers: cutting stull for the
mines, greasing log chutes, and working in the CCC camps.
The family moved from various locations along the river and eventually
built a house at the mouth of Pony Gulch on Beaver Creek.
In the summer of 1940, he enlisted into the Army and was assigned to
the Seventh Infantry Division as a forward artillery observer with the
Seventh Scout company. He served during the invasions of Attu,
Kwajalein, Saipan, Leyte and Okinawa. After being put ashore by
submarine off Attu, he survived the final Japanese attack on that
island. He received his first purple heart after being
temporarily blinded on Kwajalein, and he received his second after
being wounded on Leyte. For his actions on Leyte, he was
also awarded the Silver Star for rescuing his battalion commander after
being overran during a Japanese attack. For his service on
Okinawa he was also awarded the Bronze Star with V device for his
actions there. For the rest of his life he was proud of his
service, and suffered his injuries with quiet dignity and compassion
for those who had suffered more than he.
In May of 1947, he married Nelda Marie Lorenzi who would be his partner
for forty six years. Throughout the next years he worked at
various places as a miner, logger and equipment operator.
These places included the Golden Chest, Jack Waite Mine, and Burns Yaak
Lumber. Eventually he went to work for Shoshone County and
finally retired as the road overseer. In addition, he lived and
worked on the family ranch for the rest of his life.
He was a true outdoorsman who loved great fishing, hunting and camping
trips with family and friends. He enjoyed snowmobiling and his
four wheeler. One of his favorite sayings was that his four
wheeler was the best horse he ever had on the ranch. It was never
an effort for him to step up and help his neighbors, friends and family
as these were the things he truly enjoyed. He was a sixty year
member and Past Master of the Murray Masonic Lodge, and a 32nd
degree member of the Scottish Rite.
89 years was enough time to bare extraordinary burdens and to enjoy
exceptionally good times. His greatest blessing was to slip
softly and quietly from home to heaven. For this we thank God.
He is preceded in death by his wife Nelda, his parents and his
siblings and many cherished friends. He is survived by his
daughter and son in law: Pam and John Hull at the family home on
Beaver Creek, granddaughter Anna and Mark Berger and special great
granddaughter Aby Berger all of Silverton. Brothers and Sisters
in law: Roy and Dee Oliver of Sandpoint and Marty and Judy Lane of
Kennewick, and many nieces and nephews.
Graveside Services for family and friends will be held at 11:00am at
the Nine Mile Cemetery. Please join us immediately following for
remembrance and thanks at the Prichard-Murray Fire Hall.

B. Pressley
(Age 72)
B. Pressley, one of the early settlers of Northern Idaho, died at his
home in Wardner last Thursday, aged 72 years. He was of a very
eccentric nature. Recently he built a house in Kellogg, claiming that
the whole town of Wardner would cave in. This house is said to be built
around a large stump, the stump having been sawed off so as to be used
as a center table in one of the rooms.

Jesse A. Prichard
(Age 78)
JESSE A. PRICHARD IS TAKEN BY DEATH
Jesse A. Prichard, 78, whose father, A. J. Prichard, was the first to
discover gold in the Murray district in 1883, died at the county
hospital Sunday following a two-year illness. His father founded the
North Fork district town which still bears his name and was a familiar
figure in the district during the days of the gold rush and the early
days of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine at Kellogg. Prichard and two
companions discovered placer gold in what is now Prichard creek, at a
point where the now deserted town of Eagle stands. The son, then 28,
joined his father in the Prichard district in 1885, remaining for about
two years as a placer miner and returning to the district in 1901 after
going east, where he was married. He had made his home in the Coeur
d'Alenes continuously since that time and for more than 15 years was
postmaster at Prichard.
ILL SINCE 1933
The younger Prichard had carried on placer operations as a sideline to
his work in the Prichard post office and was a resident of Prichard
until the fall of 1933, when he suffered a stroke of apoplexy and was
removed to the hospital here. He remained in the hospital until the
summer of 1934 when his condition was sufficiently improved to permit
his return to Prichard, where he made his home in a little cabin. A
year ago in August he suffered a second stroke, toppling over onto a
stove in the cabin and suffering severe burns on his hands before a
neighbor discovered his plight. He was again removed to the hospital
and had been in the institution since that time. He suffered a third
stroke Saturday night and did not regain consciousness. Prichard was
the father of eight children, one of whom, a son, Glenn B. Prichard, is
in the railway mail service at Spokane. His widow and seven other
children live in Kansas. He also leaves a brother, Glenn, at Spokane.
FUNERAL TOMORROW
Funeral services will be conducted at Worstell's chapel at 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon with Rev. E. W. McAbee officiating. Burial will be
in the Wallace Cemetery.

Andrew J. Pritchard
(Age 72)
PIONEER GONE
Andrew J. Pritchard, the discovered of gold in the Coeur d'Alenes, died
at Murray last Friday night (Oct. 3) after a long illness. Mr.
Pritchard was a native of Connecticut, 72 years of age, and a veteran
of the Civil War. After years of prospecting through the West, during
which he passed through the Coeur d'Alenes once and located a claim now
known as the Evolution, near Osburn, and in 1882 coming back to
prospect it further he went across the mountain and discovered placer
gold. A year later the rush to Eagle began and the Coeur d'Alenes have
since been known throughout the mining world. Like most discoveries,
Mr. Pritchard received but a small amount of the wealth which he was
instrumental in adding to the world's store, leaving his wife and four
children in but moderate circumstance. For several years he has been in
failing health, owing to age more than disease, and his death has been
expected at anytime for two or three months. He was buried Sunday at
Murray under the auspices of the G. A. R.
