Mrs. H. B. Orcutt

Sara Amanda Stowell was born at Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, February 1, 1864, and 
departed this life July 9, 1923.

On April 16, 1884, she was united in marriage to H. B. Orcutt at St. Cloud, 
Minnesota, and to this union was born seven children; Hugh H., Arthur O., 
William J., Mrs. Mabel H. Putnam, Mrs. Gladys F. Urey, Esther N. O'Leary, and 
Myrtle W., dying in infancy.

Mrs. Orcutt with her family came to Payette in 1901 and has resided here ever 
since. Prior to her marriage she taught several years in the public schools of 
Minnesota.

After coming to Idaho she soon became interested in school work and was 
president of the first Parent-Teachers Circle organized west of the Rocky 
Mountains. During her administration the Washoe Community school was started 
and flourished all through the period of her activity as such officer. She was 
always interested and active in the betterment of any community in which she 
lived. She was an active member of the Royal Neighbors Camp of Payette, the 
W.R.C. and the Patrons of Husbandry, being the secretary of the Payette Grange 
at the time of her death.

Besides the members of her own family as already mentioned, she is survived by 
one sister and three brothers. All her life she was a consistent Christian 
woman, being a member of the Congregational church prior to coming to Payette 
then united with he Christian church shortly after coming here. She always had 
a smile and a word of cheer for all, even during her last illness and the 
patience with which she endured her great suffering which culminated in her 
death was remarkable. She will be much missed by the whole community which 
share with the bereaved family their sorrow.

Funeral services were held from the Christian church, July 11th, at 2 p. m., 
conducted by Rev. H. E. Mowe, pastor.
