Mother Dies Leaving Five Small Children
New Plymouth was saddened Monday by the death of Mrs. H. C. Stenner, who leaves her husband and five young children, one of them a fine baby boy born Dec. 9. Death was due to her weakend condition and a complication, including smallpox. She was 27 years old and leaves besides her immediate family her father, Steven Clanton, a brother, J. W. Clanton and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Cumberland and Mrs. Bertha Johnson, all of Payette.
Mrs. Steiner was a member of the Christian church at Payette. Burial was in the Payette cemetery. Funeral services could not be held on account of the quarantine but will be held at a later date.
Mr. Steiner hasn't decided definitely how he will take care of his young family. Neighbors have been kind to them but it is hard to find help to take care of the infant. Mrs. Wm. Peterson and Mary Flock have given praise worthy services.
