MRS. I. H. ADAIR CALLED BY DEATH WEDNESDAY
FUNERAL TO BE FRIDAY
Wednesday morning the sad news came to us that Mrs. I. H. Adair had been found dead at her home about 7 A. M.
Mrs. Adair had a heart attack about 1 o'clock the same morning. Dr. I. R. Woodward was summoned and proper aid given in order that she might rest more easily. However, when Mr. Adair arose at 7 o'clock it was found that she had died in her sleep, it is estimated at about 4 o'clock.
Funeral services for Mrs. I. H. Adair will be from the M. E. church Friday, June 12, at 2:30 P. M. The casket will not be opened at the church. Anyone so desiring may call at the house between 10 and 12 Friday. Services at Riverside Cemetery will be in charge of the Eastern Star.
It is requested that friends sending flowers, send them to the M. E. church, instead of the home.

OBITUARY
Mrs. Ida Adair was born in Illinois December 23, 1876. Soon after, she went with her parents to Duluth, Minn., where she grew to womanhood. Her mother died when Ida was ten years old, she being the youngest of three children. Her father never remarried but kept the children together and raised them in his own home.
After spending some years in an academy, she with her sister went west. They spent a few years at Millbank, S. Dak.; from which place they moved to Bowbells, N. Dak., in 1900. There she united with the Church of the Brethren in 1902. Some years later she moved to Montana, then to Toppenish, Washington; from then to Toppenish, Washington; from which place she came to Payette in 1923. She had previously visited with her sister in Payette a number of times.
She was united in marriage with I. H. Adair of Payette, October 11, 1926.
Mrs. Adair never recovered from the effects of a nervous breakdown following a severe attack of the flu last winter. She spent a few days in the Jones Clinic of Portland in April, and continued doctoring with local physicians, but no one thought her condition critical, and her sudden death came as a complete shock to all June 10.

Kenepp of Payette, with Mr. Kenepp and their grandson, Byron Shurtleff, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Nolan of Montour, Idaho; Walter Adair and wife of Payette, Roy Adair of Stuttgart, Arkansas; and a large circle of friends and neighbors, to whom she had endeared herself by her friendly ways and loving deeds of kindness.

Interment was made in Riverside cemetery.
