OBITUARY
 
Frances May Cundiff was born January 29, 1887 at Heppner, Oregon, the daughter 
of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Kirk.  She first came to Eagle Valley in 1877, when 
her parents and their family of five children moved there and established 
their home.  In 1903 her father died and the family then returned to Heppner, 
where they lived until their home was destroyed in the Heppner flood of that 
year.
 
Following this adversity the widowed mother, Mrs. Mary E. Kirk, and her 
children moved to Payette, Idaho, where the mother and two brothers still 
reside.  The brothers Clarence E. Kirk and Earl E. Kirk.  Another brother, 
William T. Kirk, lives in Portland.  The other brother, Ernest L. Kirk, died 
June of this year.
 
In 1904 she was married to Fred L. Cundiff, one of the pioneer citizens of 
Eagle Valley, and to this union there was born three children, William 
Fountain, Elizabeth Jane, and Frances Bernice, all of whom survive her.  She 
also is survived by a granddaughter.
 
He parents were devoted Christians and she was reared in the atmosphere of the 
church.  She never departed from this and throughout her life was an active 
and devoted follower of the Christ.  She was a member of the M.E. church, 
which she immediately joined when she returned to Eagle Valley as a bride.  
She maintained her membership there since that time except for a brief period 
when she transferred it to Baker where the family moved in 1917 and lived for 
seven years, after which they again returned to Eagle Valley.  She has served 
as president of the Womens Missionary society, and always was interested in 
all the activities of the church.  She was a member of the neighbors of 
Woodcraft.
 
She suffered a stroke of paralysis in May, 1926, and a second stroke, more 
severe, in November of the same year.  She never regained her health.  Her 
last sickness was brief.  Last Thursday morning she suffered an attack of 
heart trouble and the end came as 11:30 o'clock Saturday morning.
 
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church at Eagle Valley and 
interment took place there.
