Funeral services will be conducted in Boise at 2 p.m. Friday by the Rev. Roy Stroup for Clem W. Blackwell, 88, who died Tuesday in a Boise hospital. Interment will be in Kohlerlawn cemetery in Nampa.

Names of four of the six pall bearers, all from Weiser, are: Mike Morrell, William Frieze, Harry McCormick and Pete Frazier.

Mr. Blackwell was the oldest resident in Valley county at the time of his death.

Born August 16, 1863, at Joplin, Arkansas, he crossed the plains with his parents in 1873 to Grant county, Oregon. In 1883, he married Francis Lenora Shields at Long Creek, Oregon. His wife preceded him in death in 1928. The family left Oregon in 1900 and moved to Washington for a year and a half.

Mr. Blackwell came to Meadows in 1902 and moved to the new town of McCall in 1905, where he operated the original Hotel McCall, livery stable, meat market and saloon. At one time he owned five ranches in the valley and engaged in the cattle and sheep business. He also built the Silver Maple apartments which he later sold to the late Warren E. Cook.

Mr. Blackwell helped lay the townsite of McCall and handled a great deal of real estate, including a number of village lots, for the late Tom McCall, better known as Dad McCall.

For the past few years, he had made his home with his son, Herman Blackwell. He was stricken with a fatal heart attack on September 29.

Besides his son, Herman Blackwell, he is survived by another son, George Blackwell, of Vale, Oregon, three grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
