MRS. E. T. BOWMAN PASSES AWAY

It is with regret that we are again called upon to announce the death of one whom the people of this community have learned to love and respect, Mrs. E. T. Bowman who has been in rather poor health for the past three years although seemingly of late to be somewhat improved, was taken suddenly ill a few days ago and passed away at 12 o'clock last Monday, August 14th.

On account of some of the children living at a distance who are on the way here to be present at the funeral, the services have been postponed until Saturday, August 19th at 10 A. M. and will be held from the Baptist church conducted by Rev. C. W. Buell, pastor. A more complete obituary will be published next week.

BETTY F. BOWMAN

For the second time this week we have opened the house of God that we might pay a just and fitting respect to the memory of those who loved their Lord and have been called to their heavenly reward. "The path of the just is as a shinning light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day", the perfect day is that unclouded day when we shall stand face to face before God and see him as he is."

Betty F. Bowman was born in Clinton County, Missouri, November 26, 1860, and died August 14, 1922, at 12 A. M. She was united in marriage to E. T. Bowman, February 10th, 1885.

Five children were born to this union; A. C. Bowman, of Buckley, Washington; L. M. Bowman, Grace I. Bowman; Mrs. Russell Maxfield and T. L. Bowman, all of Payette, Idaho.

Mrs. Bowman has been in poor health since having the Flu, three and a half years ago, and all this time has been a patient sufferer. She united with the Baptist church at Plattsburg, Missouri, when sixteen years of age, and since coming to Payette in March 1908, has been a member here.

She leaves to mourn her death, besides her own immediate family, two sisters, Mrs. W. J. Osborn, of Jordon, Montana, and Mrs. E. W. Parks of Burbank, California.

These sorrowing ones have our sympathy.
