OBITUARY
Amy Gertrude Delp was born in Jewell county, Kans., October 3, 1877, and passed away at her home east of Fruitland, October 11th, 1930, at the age of 53 years and 8 days. She was married to P. D. Bossen in Jewell county, Kans., on December 23, 1896. To them were born two children Henry and Hazel, both living in Fruitland. Mr. and Mrs. Bossen moved to North Dakota from Kansas in 1897 and came to Idaho in 1919, and have resided on their fruit ranch during these eleven years.
Mrs. Bossen joined the Presbyterian church in North Dakota and placed her membership here in the M. E. church and was a faithful member up to the time of her recent serious illness.
Mrs. Bossen leaves to survive her, her husband, her son Henry and daughter Hazel, a sister, Mrs. O. E. Bossen of Payette, a sister Mrs. Ella Kellogg of Mountain Grove, Mo., and three brothers, M. L. Delp of Wenatchee, Wash., and C. W. Delp and O. S. Delp of Woodward, Okla.
Mrs. Bossen was first of all a homemaker and mother, and devoted to high principles in life, and to all her neighbors she was known as generous and thoughtful of others. It is sad indeed to her friends as well as to her loved ones, that nothing could be done to prolong her life.
Mrs. Bossen underwent an operation for cancer in Portland about two years ago and never fully recovered. All through her suffering she was kind and patient, and everything was done for her that human hands could do.
Funeral services were held from the M. E. church Sunday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. George Roseberry and interment was made in Riverside cemetery in Payette.
