LESTER RANDS Sunday morning our community was again visited by the Angel of death. This time he took one of our young mothers, Mrs. Lester Rands. Mrs. Rands has been in poor health for over a year, but her death came as a shock to her family and friends. She died suddenly a little after 7 o'clock Sunday morning of heart failure. Carrie Chalmers was born in Marengo, Ia., July 12, 1886. She was married at Colfax, Iowa, July 5, 1911, to Lester Rands. They lived one year in Tripp, South Dakota, coming to Idaho four years ago and building their pretty little home on Pennsylvania avenue in Fruitland. Mrs. Rands was a member of the Methodist Sunday School in Fruitland. She leaves besides her husband, a little 5-year-old daughter, Laura, a mother, Mrs. Mary Chalmers of Colfax, Ia., three sisters, Mrs. Alice Revel of Mapleton, Iowa, Mrs. Rose Holif, Yankton, So. Dakota, Mrs. Linda Bobo, Colfax, Iowa; two brothers, John of Fort Dodge, Iowa, and Andrew of Canada. A service was held at the house Monday morning by Rev. C. L. Walker, pastor of the Methodist church. The body was shipped to Colfax, Iowa, Mr. Rands accompanying it. Mrs. Rands was always cheerful and so hopeful of regaining her health. In her testament which she had been reading was found several passages recently marked. Among them was one which we feel sure left as a message for her loved ones, "And he shall wipe every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more." Rev 21:4. The community sympathizes with the family in their bereavement.
