Payette Enterprise
June 26, 1919
Miss Carrie Hooker was born in Cherokee, (county) Iowa, October 10, 1894. At the age of six years she moved with the family to Grand Junction, Colorado. Nine years ago the family moved to Fruitland, Idaho, where Carrie has resided ever since.
On Saturday, June 21, 1919, at two o'clock P.M. Carrie passed away from this life to enter a more beautiful place where suffering shall be no more. At the age of six years she had a hard siege of scarlet fever which left her with epilepsy from which she suffered up to the time of her death.
At the age of twelve she was converted and lived a conscientious Christian life up to the last.
Two brothers and one sister preceded her in death. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Hooker, of Fruitland, three sisters, Laura, Minnie and May and two brothers, Russell and Lestesr are left to mourn their loss.
The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at the Nazarene church in Ontario, after which the body was laid to rest in Riverside cemetery, Payette, beside that of her brother Raymond.
Mr. and Mrs. Hooker have many friends in and near Fruitland who sympathize with them in their sorrow.
GRATITUDE
We wish to thank the many neighbors and friends, for their tender sympathy and help shown to us in our bereavement, and for the beautiful floral offerings. Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Hooker and family.
