DEATH OF MRS. PETTIT FRIDAY
 
The entire community was shocked Friday when the news was received that Mrs. 
Charles Pettit, of near Washoe, had passed away at the Holy Rosary hospital at 
Ontario, after a short illness from pneumonia.  It had been known she was 
quite ill, but her death came suddenly and almost unexpectedly.
 
Elizabeth Bless was born March 28, 1878, at St. Paul, Indiana, and passed away 
September 30th, 1927.  she was married to Charles A. Pettit in 1900 at 
Indianapolis, Indiana.  One child, Doris Pettit, was born to them in 1910 at 
rock Ford, Colorado.  after the birth of the daughter they returned to 
Indiana, but came back to Colorado in 1914.  Two years later, after making 
another short visit to Indiana they came to Idaho, arriving in Payette on 
April 2, 1916, and have lived here continuously since that time.
 
The surviving relatives are the husband, Charles A. Pettit; the daughter Doris 
Pettit; three brothers, William, Charles and Ed Bless, all of Komomo, Indiana; 
four sisters, Mrs. Rose Grosscup, of Lancaster, Ohio; Mrs. Elmer Gilpin, of 
Indianapolis, Indiana; Mrs. Mary Fuelle, of Broadlands, Illinois, and Mrs. 
Charles Ruthford, of Marion, Indiana.
 
Mrs. Pettit was a member of the Christian church and of the Rebekah lodge, and 
was a prominent worker in both organizations.  Her noble Christian character 
and cheerful and pleasing personality endeared her to all who knew her and her 
untimely death is mourned by everybody.
 
Funeral services were held at the Christian church Sunday afternoon and the 
outpouring of friends was a testimonial to the love and esteem of all.  The 
Odd Fellows and Rebekahs turned out in large numbers.  The services were 
conducted by Rev. Frances Cook, and following them interment took place at 
Riverside cemetery.
 
Mr. Pettit and Doris have the deepest sympathy of the community in the loss 
they have sustained.
