OBITUARY
Mrs. Ida Adair was born in Illinois December 23, 1876.  Soon after, she went 
with her parents to Duluth, Minn., where she grew to womanhood.  Her mother 
died when Ida was ten years old, she being the youngest of three children.  
Her father never remarried but kept the children together and raised them in 
his own home.
 
After spending some years in an academy, she with her sister went west.  They 
spent a few years at Millbank, S. Dak.; from which place they moved to 
Bowbells, N. Dak., in 1900.  There she united with the Church of the Brethren 
in 1902.   Some years later she moved to Montana, then to Toppenish, 
Washington; from then to Toppenish, Washington; from which place she came to 
Payette in 1923.  She had previously visited with her sister in Payette a 
number of times. 
 
She was united in marriage with I. H. Adair of Payette, October 11, 1926.
 
Mrs. Adair never recovered from the effects of a nervous breakdown following a 
severe attack of the flu last winter.  She spent a few days in the Jones 
Clinic of Portland in April, and continued doctoring with local physicians, 
but no one thought her condition critical, and her sudden death came as a 
complete shock to all June 10.
 
She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, I. H. Adair, one brother, Martin H. 
Nelson of Brainard, Minn., one sister, Mrs. S. J. Kenepp of Payette, with Mr. 
Kenepp and their grandson, Byron Shurtleff, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Nolan of 
Montour, Idaho; Walter Adair and wife of Payette, Roy Adair of Stuttgart, 
Arkansas; and a large circle of friends and neighbors, to whom she had 
endeared herself by her friendly ways and loving deeds of kindness.
 
Funeral services were held in the M. E. church, conducted by Rev. Parrott and 
Ray, Arnold of the Brethren church.
 
Interment was made  in Riverside cemetery.
