M. Mrs. Elizabeth Conyers died at her home in this city. While her serious illness was generally known to many the announcement of her death came as a surprise, and many expressions of regret were expressed by those who knew her. Funeral services were held at the family home on Tuesday afternoon Feb. 2, at 2 P.M. (her 64th birthday). The services were conducted by Rev. Benjamin Smith, of the Christian church and a large number of friends were gathered to pay their last tribute, many of whom were also pioneers of early days. The remains were laid to rest in Riverside cemetery beside a son and daughter. Elizabeth Jane Peasley was born in Crawford Co. Pennsylvania, Feb. 2nd 1851. She moved with her parents to Indiana and later to Iowa, locating in Harrison Co. In 1869 she was married to John Hiram Conyers. Twelve children were born to this union, seven of whom are living, Martin of Payette, Rufus, Vet, Johnnie and Wallace of Long Valley, Mrs. Ella Wells of Payette, and Mrs. Minnie Miller of Seattle. More than thirty years ago, 1884, the family came by wagon from Iowa to Payette and were among the first settlers of this community. They were called upon to endure the hardships of pioneer life, dwelling for a time in tents. Her home was been in Payette and Long Valley all these years. Mrs. Conyers was a believer in the Christian faith and became identified some 47 years ago with the "Latter Day Saints". She was taken sick last May and continued in declining health until death relieved her.
