Obituary
 
Minnie Coffman was born in Clay Center, Kansas, February 13, 1883, and passed 
from this life on December 13, 1928, at the age of 45 years and 10 months.  In 
her early childhood she moved with her parents to Boulder, Colorado.  At the 
age of 16 she was united in marriage to William Ory and in 1901 they came to 
Payette to make their home, and she has resided here ever since.
 
October 29, 1919, deceased was again married to B. G. Forbes of this city.  
Besides her husband she leaves two sons, William and Frederick Ory, of 
Pendleton, Oregon; two step sons and five step daughters, Arzella Browning, of 
Pleasant Valley, Ore.; Loyd Forbes of South Tacoma, Wash.; Ella Camplain of 
Portland, Ore.; Pearl Silket, Fruitland, Ida.; Opal Chipman, Payette, Ida.; 
Agnes Forbes, Salem, Ore.; and Frank Forbes, Payette, Ida.  She also leaves 
two brothers, John Coffman of Hutchinson, Kansas, and Mitchell Coffman, of 
Weiser, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Derby, of Denver, Colorado.
 
Mrs. Forbes was a member of the Yeoman lodge, the W.C.T.U. the Payette Floral 
Club, and was a regular attendant at the Methodist church and Sunday school.
 
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church at 2 o'clock p. m. Saturday 
afternoon, and were conducted by Rev. Franklin, pastor of the Methodist church 
of Weiser, because of the illness of her own pastor Rev. A. B. Parrott.  The 
service was attended by a large congregation of her friends and interment took 
place at Riverside cemetery.
 
Mrs. Forbes was active in good works of all kinds until a few months ago when 
failing health ebbed her strength away.  She was a good woman and will be 
greatly missed by a large circle of friends as well as by her immediate family.
 
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the kind friends and neighbors for 
their assistance during the illness and after the death of our loved one, and 
for their beautiful floral offerings.  Members of the Yeoman lodge also have 
our sincere thanks for their many kindnesses.  R. G. Forbes and Family, M. H. 
Coffman and Family.
