DEATH OF MRS. GEO. W. SHURTLEFF

On Friday morning at 10:25, April 19th, 1918, death entered, unannounced, the 
home of Geo. W. Shurtleff and claimed the wife and mother of the home. Mrs. 
Shurtleff had just recovered from an attack of lagrippe and was apparently on 
the road to health when she was called up higher.

Alma Elvira Jensen was born in Malmo, Sweden, on Nov. 27th, 1872, came to 
America when six years of age. Her child-hood and girl-hood were spent in 
Logan, Utah, where she met and married Geo. W. Shurtiff in 1888. Mrs. 
Shurtleff came to this Valley a bride and lived on the home place 28 years. 
She leaves a husband, four sons, a daughter, a sister, brothers and a mother 
to mourn her. The funeral was held at the Christian Church on Sunday afternoon 
at 2:30, Harvey Allred of Boise, conducting the service. Mr. Allred was a life 
long friend of Mrs. Shurtleff and spoke of her many virtues as a mother, a 
wife and a friend.

The many floral offerings were a silent token of the love and esteem of her 
family and friends. As a last loving service the sons acted as pall-bearers 
and the body was laid to rest in the Riverside Cemetery. Mrs. Cook and Mrs. L. 
Covey of Salt Lake and Harvey Allred and family of Boise attended the funeral.
