Ira M. Culler Passes Away
Ira M. Culler died at St. Alphonsus hospital, Boise, Sunday morning, following an illness of eleven days.
He had been in poor health for several weeks but his condition was not considered to be serious, until a sudden change for the worse came and he was taken to the St. Alphonsus hospital, where everything possible known to modern science and nursing was done in the hope of giving him relief but all to no avail. He was hopeful to the last and appreciative of the efforts of his loved ones who so faithfully ministered to him during his illness.
Ira M. Culler was born near Louisville, Stark county, Ohio, and died January 9, 1925. He was married to Sadie E. Hiller, March 1, 1893, who died June 12, 1916. In 1917 he was married to Helen M. Judd, who with their son, Melvin, and two older children, Russell W. Culler, and Mrs. Greta Davidson, of Warner, Canada, mourn the loss of a kind husband and an indulgent father. He also leaves an aged mother, three sisters and one brother to mourn their loss. His father passed away a few months ago.
While he was a faithful worker in the Methodist Church, of which he was a member, also being a member of the choir, and of the Yoeman lodge, his family was always uppermost in his thoughts. He was a good citizen, always ready to lend a hand to those in need and his pleasing manner won him many warm friends who grieve at his death.
Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon in the Methodist Church, by his pastor, Rev. V. E. Hall. Burial was in Riverside cemetery.
