DEATH OF MRS. JULIA NODLE

It is with regret that we announce the death of Mrs. Julia Nodle, who passed away a little after midnight Monday night, as the result of a fall Sunday. She was quite feeble and arose to close a door when she in some way slipped and broke one of her legs. An X-ray photograph of the injury was taken and the bone was set and placed in a cast.

Disliking to go to a hospital she was removed to the home of C. H. Bowman with Mrs. T. A. Wayne as attendant. She seemed comfortable and having fallen to sleep Mrs. Wayne retired to a cot beside the bed. Awaking about midnight Mrs. Wayne noticed a change in her expression and found that she had peacefully slept away. A merciful Providence had relieved her of months of torture and suffering.

Julia A. Crawshaw was born in Clinton, Iowa, January 11, 1851, and was 76 years, 7 months and 28 days old. She moved to western Iowa with her widowed mother, brother and sister. While there she was married to Jake Nodle, at Fte., Iowa, in the year 1890. Three children were born in this union, two girls and one boy, the boy dying in infancy. The family moved to Payette in 1901 where she has resided ever since, and where Mr. Nodle preceded her in the better world.

Her surviving close relatives are one brother, Nelt Crawshaw, of Hall, Montana; two daughters, Mrs. Mary Crozier, of Culdusac, Idaho, and Mrs. Elsie Hall, of Payette. There are five grandchildren, and she is also survived by a number of nieces and nephews of the late husband, and a brother-in-law, Lewis Nodle.

Mrs. Nodle united with the Methodist Episcopal church at the age of 18 in which faith she has remained ever since. Although owing to poor health of late years she was unable to attend church much, she always tried to live a true Christian life and was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.

Funeral services were held at the Landon Undertaking Parlors this (Thursday) afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and were conducted by Rev. A. H. Farrett, pastor of the Methodist church. Interment took place at Riverside cemetery.

MRS. JULIA NODLE DIES FROM INJURY

Sunday morning Mrs. Julia Nodle, mother of Mrs. William Hall, while crossing the floor of the family home at the Maxfield place on the Payette-Oregon Slope, accidentally tripped and fell, injuring her right leg. Dr. J. C. Woodward was called to attend her and she was taken to the X-Ray laboratory, where an examination disclosed that she had broken the bone of her right leg near the hip. The fracture was reduced and Mrs. Nodle was removed to the home of C. H. Bowman, where she was placed under the care of Mrs. Frances Wane as nurse. She was, however, seriously shocked by the injury, and owing to the advanced age of seventy-eight, did not possess sufficient strength to survive. She died Tuesday morning about 12:30 a.m. Funeral arrangements have not yet been completed.
