OBITUARY

Pheobe Neoma Shottenkirk was born 1860, at Spring Bay, Ill. At the age of eighteen moved to Nebraska. In 1879 she was united in marriage to Joseph Orr, and to this union two sons were born, Fred and John. Mr. Orr died in 1882 and in 1885 she was united in marriage to Cyrus E. Genoway. To this union six children were born, Peter T. Genoway of Artesia, Calif., Grover Genoway, deceased 1907, Mrs. Robert S. Megorden of Zillah, Wash., May Gleim, Ivy Genoway and Sam Genoway of Payette.

Mrs. Genoway was left a widow in 1906. Since Mr. Genoway's death, she successfully carried on her floral work until recent years when her failing health made it necessary to turn the business over to her youngest son, Sam.

She bore her suffering unto herself and only the past winter did she give up her work entirely. She was taken to the Ontario hospital March 24 for an operation. A cancer was revealed. Medical science could not help her; only comfort and care where possible to relieve the intense pain which she suffered to the last. She was removed to her home the Wednesday preceded her death, the end came the following Tuesday at 6:45 p.m.

Besides her immediate family, she leaves to mourn her death thirteen grandchildren and a large circle of friends. Funeral services were held at the Brethren church at 2:30 April 11. Interment was made in the Riverside cemetery.
