Death of Mrs. Shontz

Mrs. Jean Anderson Collins Shontz, wife of B. Shontz of this city, died at St. 
Lukes hospital in Boise Saturday, June 10, at the age of 65 years. Mrs. Shontz 
had been a sufferer for a long time with cancer of the stomach and was taken 
to the hospital where an operation was performed from which she never 
recovered. The body was brought to Payette Sunday afternoon and Monday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Herbert 
Jones at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Crowther, interment having been made 
in Riverside cemetery. Appropriate music for the funeral services was 
furnished by a quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. Town, Mr. Boehmer and Miss 
Cora Aden, and Mrs. Ed. Muller, who sang a solo.

Mrs. Shontz was born October 5, 1840, in Waterloo county, Ontario, Canada. She 
married Benj. Shontz in 1862. In March of last year, Mr. and Mrs. Shontz came 
to Payette from Iowa to live. Eight children were born of their union, seven 
of whom are now living, one having died in infancy. Those living are Mrs. F. 
E. Price, Mrs. Frank Crowther, Mrs. Frank Crighton, and Dr. R. I. Shontz all 
of Payette; O. E. Shontz of Albuquerque, N. M., Chas. Shontz of Anthon, Ia., 
and Miss Orfa Shontz of Boise.

The two sons named, whose homes are at a distance, reached Boise in time to 
see their mother before her death and later came to Payette to attend the 
funeral.
