MRS. CORA HOWARD CONNERLY

After several months of long and patient suffering with cancer of the stomach, Mrs. Cora Connerly passed peacefully away at the home of her sister, Mrs. B. R. Fitch, of this city, Friday, July 8th.

She had previously underwent two operations and everything within the power of the attending physicians was done that she might be spared to live but her disease was such that at no time was there any hopes of her recovery.

Mrs. Connerly was a good Christian woman, a kind and affectionate wife and mother. Her life was practically devoted to the good she might do for others thinking the least of her own troubles and sufferings in this world, and her departure while there was yet time for her to speak kindly and do good to others, will be keenly felt by those with whom she associated.

Cora Howard Connerly was born near North Bend, Nebraska, April 6, 1875 and died at Payette, Idaho, July 8, 1921, aged 46 years, 3 months and 2 days.

At the age of nineteen she was baptized and united with the First Baptist Church of Rogers, Nebraska, and lived a life of loving self sacrifice until she was called home. She was married to Lee Connerly, Dec. 18, 1900. She came to Payette twelve years ago and has made her home here since excepting one year spent at Jordan Valley, Oregon.

She leaves to mourn her going one son, Darrel, his wife and infant daughter, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Howard, one sister Mrs. B. R. Fitch, and one brother Guy C. Howard, all of Payette. Her husband passed away May 30, 1921.

The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Fitch, conducted by the pastor of the Baptist church.
