LULA MYRTLE BLAIR
 
Lula Myrtle Grove was born at Epworth, Iowa, February 7th, 1865.  She was 
united in marriage to E. A. Blair at Panora, Iowa September 19, 1882, where 
they continued to live for many years and where four children were born to 
bless their home, one a sweet little girl of four years after being tenderly 
nursed during a long period of sickness by the vigilant hand of that dear 
mother was surrendered back to her creator.
 
In February 1904, Mr. and Mrs. Blair together with their three children moved 
to Colorado where they purchased and lived on a small fruit farm near the city 
of Grand Junction until November 1906 when they came to Payette living on a 
fruit farm near Fruitland until the fall of 1910 moving at that time to 
Payette where they have since made their home.
 
One of the most consoling things we can say, Mrs. Blair has lived a true 
christian life from childhood and her departure from this life is not death, 
it is only a promotion from a world of sin and suffering into a place of peace 
and happiness where sorrowing and suffering is unknown and to be with her 
sweet little flaxen haired daughter who preceded her to the better world many 
years ago.
 
On coming to Payette Mrs. Blair united with the Christian Church at this place 
and took an active part at all services many times attending when ill health 
would early permit.  For several years she faithfully and satisfactorily held 
the place as leader of the choir, her life has principally been a life of 
devotion to others, thinking least of her own suffering.  During her last 
illness and the three long weeks of suffering at the Hot Lake Sanitorium she 
was patient to the last, her only hope was that she might be spared a few 
years more to assist in the care of her home and family and others whom she 
dearly loved, her life has been an exemplified life to follow.  Besides a 
husband who has for nearly forty years born with her the trials and enjoyed 
the pleasures of life and who will more keenly feel the loss, she is survived 
by one son and two daughters, Mrs. T. O. Mead and Mrs. Grover Stewart, of 
LaGrande, and Vere, the youngest of the family now 21 years of age, who is 
home with his father.
 
The funeral was held from the Christian Church last Friday afternoon conducted 
by Rev. Mowe, who spoke principally of the Christian life of the departed and 
the assurance of her reward.  Interment took place in Riverside cemetery where 
she was laid peacefully to rest.
