Lewiston, Idaho, July 12. - Isaac Mounce, said to be Idaho's oldest citizen, died today at the home of his daughter near Culdesac.

In 1852 he visited California and a second trip was made to the west in 1865, still later coming in 1879, when he established a home at Vancouver, Wash. Mr. Mounce came to the Tammany region, near Lewiston, in 1888. Surviving children are Mrs. William Ruddell, Culdesac; J. Smith Mounce and Mrs. George Ruddell, Lewiston; Lafayette Mounce, Tammany, and Eben Mounce, Seattle. The body was brought here. |
