DEATH OF MRS. COPELAND

Mrs. Alwilda Copeland, aged 55 years, 9 months and 7 days, wife of W. M. 
Copeland, manager of the Payette Fruit Distributors, passed away at 7:30 
o'clock Friday evening, September 19, 1924, at her home, 811 North Sixth 
Street, this city, after an illness covering more than a year. In fact she had 
been a semi-invalid for several years and for the past year had been gradually 
sinking. With her at the time of her death were her husband, her sister-in-
law, Mrs. Lyda McFadden, and an old friend, Mrs. George Powers, of Boise.

Mrs. Copeland had been a resident of Payette for many years, and although in 
failing health, she had many acquaintances and friends who admired her many 
noble traits of character and to whom the news of her death brought sadness of 
heart. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and also of the 
Eastern Star. Various lodges and the missionary society of the Methodist 
church arranged for floral offerings to be delivered at Wymore, Nebraska, 
where the body was taken by Mr. Copeland and where the funeral services were 
held Tuesday afternoon of this week. At the funeral were her brothers and 
sisters and a brother of her husband. She was laid to rest by the side of her 
son who passed away some years ago.

In the death of this estimable woman the community has suffered and the loss 
to the husband is irrepairable.
