GROVER, ANNA MARIE

MRS. B. W. GROVER CALLED

Mrs. B. W. Grover passed away at her home 4 miles southeast of Fruitland Tuesday afternoon.

Anna Marie Kullander was born August 12, 1882, in Kensington, Minn. In 1910 she and Mr. B. W. Grover were united in marriage by Rev. C. D. Day. The same year they united with the Fruitland Methodist church. Mrs. Grover was confirmed in the Swedish Lutheran church early in life. As a young woman she was a teacher and bookkeeper. She has been an active worker in the W. C. T. U. having served as president of the Frances Williard Union.

Mrs. Grover was in ill health since April but was very hopeful and has been planning so much on moving to her beautiful new home in Fruitland, which was almost completed, until a short time ago when she realized that she was soon to dwell in her "mansion in Heaven." We can but wonder why so young a mother should be called. "She loves her home, her church her God." and was loved by all who knew her. She leaves to mourn besides her husband, two little daughters, Marion and Iola, aged 5 and 3 years, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Kullander of Kensington, Minn., five sisters and two brothers. Two of the sisters, Nurses Selma and Ida Kullander, have been faithful in caring for her during her sickness. Another sister, Miss Lucy, who has been with her some of the time, was called as a nurse to Ft. Riley, Kansas a short time ago.

The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Methodist church, Rev. Chas. McCoard, her pastor, and Rev. C. D. Day of Apple Valley, her former pastor, officiated. The body was laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery at Payette. "but tho dead she yet speaketh and shall live in the hearts she has touched and in the lives she has influenced." (Riverside Cemetery)

LEWIS, ELLA M.

DEATH OF ELLA M. LEWIS

There is an old Scripture passage "they were lovely in their lives and in death they were not divided." It was spoken of Saul and Jonathan, but there are many modern cases where the statement applies better than it does to the originals. For just three months we have been saying Miss Lewis without adding the other name Miss Beardsley. Now the two names are inseparable again and inseparable forever. Brief mention was made last week of the death of Miss Lewis. She died as did Miss Beardsley in a hospital after a surgical operation. It is one of the paradoxes of being that both of these who were such home folks should have died away from home. But the day of the hospital is now and it is a privilege that most people avail themselves of to seek medical help there when the need comes.

Miss Lewis has not known good health for several years, tho not at any time a shut in, or unable to take the live interest in every thing of high concern to the community. Disease however had so gotten hold of her that she could not withstand the shock of the operation. She died Tuesday evening January 15th, and was buried on Saturday. The funeral services were in her beloved church, the Presbyterian, and the body was taken to the New Plymouth cemetery for burial. Each place found a large assembly of sympathizing friends anxious to show the esteem in which they held the departed. But there was no sense of overwhelming grief. Rather there was a disposition to rejoice in the memory of a life so well lived that death seemed mere promotion.

The Lewis family are of New England stock but came to Iowa in time to help bring that territory into statehood. 1843 was the year of their westward migration, and they who know the history of that state know that it was a year of great history making, and that the part of the then territory into which the Father Lewis brot his family was peculiarly favored in the coming of a band of men trained in the Universities of the east and inspired with a zeal for the west. There were 11 in the Yale band and they brought; the motto "Each man to found a Church and all together to found a College." And they made good. Grinnell is the college and the churches, more than the high resolve called for, are scattered over the southeast part of that state. One of them is at Danville and in that Miss Lewis first made profession of faith in Christ and enlisted for life in his service. She has answered "here" at every roll-call of the Master for more than 50 years, and it was so startling voice that spoke the words "come up higher." Owing to cancerous condition she never married. But she never found it necessary to lavish her love on cats and poodles. She, together with Miss Beardsley who shared every good impulse with her, Mothered the two nephews Frank and Paul when death took away their own mother. And that was typical of what they together always did. A boy in their home to go to school and do a few chores that nowhere near paid the cost of keeping, was a fixed part of their program ever since the nephews went out into the world for themselves. Then every good work Church Sabbath School, Missionary support, Temperance, Y. M. C. A., and every call of money found these sisters (in every sense except the mere, matter of parentage), always ready and always glad to bear a part.

But there is not space to print a biography. All that is intended in this article is to mention a few typical things in order that they who had not the privilege of knowing her may understand why we loved her as well, and why we so confidently declare.

"I will not say, for I dare not say that she is dead. She is just away." (Parkview Cemetery)

RHOADS, JOHN WEBSTER

LIEUT. JOHN W. RHOADS REPORTED KILLED IN ACTION

Effects of War Coming Home - Lieut. Rhoads Killed On April 27 - Parents receive Telegram

At last we are brought face to face with the sad intelligence of the first of our boys surrender his life for his country. It brings home to the people of this community the realization that our boys are now facing the cruel and inhuman Huns. That they are true Americans, willing to face death in defense of democracy and freedom. Webster Rhoads, who was a son of Mr. and Mrs. George W.. Rhoads of Payette, enlisted in company I five years ago when but seventeen years old, and went with his company to the Mexican border in the summer of 1916, and to Boise in April 1917, where the Company was mustered into the service of the National Government. After going to training camp he was commissioned to Second Lieutenant and assigned to another detachment which left for France in January, 1918. The news of his death came last Monday, and was very meager -- just a message to his parents stating he was officially reported killed in action April 27th. Further particulars will undoubtedly be received later. Mr. and Mrs. Rhoads, who have two more sons at the front have the deepest sympathy of a large circle of friends, who share with them a hope that Web may yet be alive and only missing in the strange confusion that war brings.

MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR LIEUT. RHOADS

Payette has not planned a celebration of the ordinary sort, but the anniversary of Independence Day should be made to mean more this year than ever before. Accordingly we have planned to use one hour of the day in meditating on the case of our "first soldier to make the complete sacrifice to the cause of world Liberty." There has been delay in arranging this because the report of Lieu. Rhoads death was so long in reaching us, but now to have his deed as the theme for our keeping Independence Day is most fitting and we hope it will give larger meaning to both events. The meeting will be in the school grounds at 11 o'clock a.m. (Riverside Cemetery)

MACK, BABY

INFANT DIES IN DEPOT

The infant child that was brought to Payette from Portland last Saturday by Miss Fern Fulton and the circumstances surrounding the case seems to have caused considerable talk and speculation as to the real facts and the motive of her bringing the child to Payette. We have made some investigation, and have also interviewed Miss Fulton and find these facts as we believe them to be.

Miss Fulton, according to her own statement, has been for some time employed at a rooming house in Nampa, and while there met and became acquainted with a lady, a Mrs. Mae, from Salt Lake who came to Nampa to visit relatives living in the country, and at several times visited the rooming house to see Miss Fulton, and about three weeks ago arranged with Miss Fulton to take a trip to the coast with her. When arriving at Portland Mrs. Mae being somewhat ill decided to remain there for a few days and engaged rooms for their convenience, and on August 13th they were taken to a hospital where the child was born to Mrs. Mack. The child, being born in a weak condition, the mother prevailed on Miss Fulton to bring it to Payette for treatment, stating she would come as soon as she was able. A doctor was called at Pendleton and at La Grande to render assistance, but the little one died in the waiting room at the depot a few minutes after arriving. The railroad physician was called and after making investigation turned the case over to the sheriff and county coroner who made the statement that death was due to natural causes, and the little one was given a decent burial at the expense of the county, and it is believed by Miss Fulton that the county will be reimbursed when the mother arrives.

Note: According to the Idaho Death Index, the infant was born 8-13-1918 and died 8-17-1918.(ch)

CARTWRIGHT, IONA MAE

Iona Mae Cartwright died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Cartwright Monday morning and was buried Tuesday afternoon. She was born May 13, 1897 in Green Mountain Falls, Colorado. Thus at the time of her death she was just past 21 by 5 months and 29 days. She had been in poor health most of the time since a year ago at which time she had a severe case of tonsillitis, following which was a period of ailment which kept her vitality down. In this state appendicitis developed and while she seemed to stand the operation well it turned out that she could not regain strength. Beside the Father and Mother there are three sisters, Mrs. Frank Littler of Nampa, Mrs. Lou Feldscher and Ruth a young girl. These were all present at the funeral. The only brother, Claude, is with the colors in France.

She was at the age when hope should be highest. As a consequence her death was a great sorrow, especially to the Mother who is completely prostrated with grief.

Iona had made many friends in the seven years of her life in Payette and the floral expressions of love and sympathy were beautiful and bountiful. But the intimate friends who sent such testimonials are a small fraction of the list of friends who would assuage the grief of them that mourn if human sympathy were able. (Riverside Cemetery)
