OBITUARY

A beautiful, talented young life, capable of doing much good in this world, 
was taken from our midst early last Friday morning when death claimed Miss 
Lela May Fisher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Fisher. Miss Lela was born May 
10th, 1898 in Sheridan, Mo., coming with her parents, sisters and brothers to 
Fruitland in 1908. At the age of 13, Lela united with the Christian church and 
has been a Christian worker in Sunday School, church and the Young People's 
Branch of the W. C. T. U., using her sweet voice much in song.

She was a member of the Senior class of the High School and will be greatly 
missed, especially by the brother Earl who is a member of the class and has 
had his sister with him in his school work. Over the whole school has been 
cast a sorrow -- a strange mystery.

Death was caused by acute appendicitis. All was done that could be done by 
doctors, loved ones and friends. The funeral was held Sunday morning in the 
Brethren church, Rev. J. E. Shamberger speaking works of comfort from the 
text, "The Damsel is not Dead But Sleepeth." Rev. Obey offering a helpful 
prayer. Members of the Men's Glee Club sang some of Lela's favorite songs for 
which she had asked during her sickness, "The Answering Time Will come," "That 
Will Be Glory For Me," "Crossing The Bar," and "Abide With Me." She seemed to 
feel that she had a life work to do and must live.

The floral offerings from the Sunday School, the W. C. T. U., Mothers' Circle, 
High School teachers and pupils, and the grades and friends were beautiful and 
showed the love and respect all felt for the deceased and the family. The body 
was laid to rest in the Riverside cemetery at Payette beneath the bank of 
flowers on which the beautiful white snow, typical of the beautiful life gone 
out fell. She leaves to mourn besides the parents, two sisters, Mildred and 
Merle, three brothers, Earl, Glade and Kenneth, and a half sister, Mrs. Leon 
Eldredge, and a half brother, George Fisher, many relatives and friends.

CARD OF THANKS
It being impossible for us to thank each of our dear friends personally for 
their many deeds of kindness to us during the sickness and death of our loved 
one, we must take this means of doing so. May the Lord richly bless you for 
your kindness to her and to us.
Mr. and Mrs. Grant Fisher and family
