  A large crowd attended funeral services Monday at Community church for Mrs. 
Mary Rosetta Swinehart, conducted by the Rev. C. R. Waite of Kooskia.
  Miss Mary Rosetta Green was born July 31, 1872, at Tiosa, Ind., and died 
Jan. 3, 1942, at her home in Stites, at the age of 69 years, five months and 
three days.  She was united in marriage to Sylvester M. Swinehart Aug. 29, 
1890.  To this union were born five children, Mrs. Lydia McNeil and Roy 
Swinehart of Stites; Rev. Elmer S., of Clarkston, Wash.; Mrs. Elva Whitcomb, 
Lewiston, and Mrs. Grace Lyons of Elk City.
  The family moved from Indiana to Clearwater in September, 1895, to the home 
of Mrs. Swinehart’s uncle, Peter King, of Battle Ridge.  They were among the 
pioneers of the upper Clearwater region, having settled there before the 
railroad came to Lewiston.
  They made their home in the Stites vicinity until death of the husband and 
father March 2, 1921, Mrs. Swinehart having since lived in Stites.  All of her 
children were at the bedside at time of her death.  She had been a member of 
the Stites Baptist church since 14 years of age, was of a happy and kind 
disposition, and was loved by all who knew her.
  She leaves to survive, besides her five children, ten grandchildren and 
three great-grandchildren.
  Funeral arrangements were made by George Trenary and son of Kooskia.
  The choir was composed of Mrs. Muriel Wilburn, Mrs. Stanley Chase, Miss Arla 
Lytle, Roy Lytle, John Chase and Roland Huffman, with Mrs. A. J. Stuart at the 
organ.  Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lytle and Mr. and Mrs. Huffman had decorated the 
church with the many floral offerings.
  The body of Mrs. Swinehart was interred beside that of her husband in the 
family plot on Battle Ridge.
