DEATH OF MRS. MINNIE STRONG

Mrs. Minnie Strong passed away on December 15th, 1927, at St. Valentine's Hospital, Wendell, Idaho. Death, which came very peacefully after an illness of only a week, the culmination of several years of poor health.

Minnie Belle Gray was born at Athens, Missouri, on April 16, 1863, and on November 9, 1885 she was married to Dr. Sumner Davis of of Appleton, Kansas. Two sons were born to them, Merrill G. Davis, of Payette and Sumner G. Davis, of Jerome, Idaho. In April 1909 the family came to New Plymouth, where Dr. Davis died on October 10, 1910.

On November 11, 1914, Mrs. Davis was married to Professor C. A. Strong of New Plymouth. On April 26, 1920, Mrs. Strong was again left a widow by the death of her husband. Since that time, with the exception of three years spent with her sister in California, Mrs. Strong divided her time between the homes of her sons. She was a steadfast member of the Presbyterian Church. Besides her two sons and their families, Mrs. Strong is survived by five sisters. She was one whose cheerful disposition and warm heart endeared her to all and many are the friends in Southern Idaho who mourn her.

The body was brought to New Plymouth for burial, where the funeral was conducted Sunday by Rev. H. F. Knight and the Rev. Clayton Judy.
