OBITUARY
Mrs. Cora D. Slinker wife of E. S. Slinker, was born Nov. 17, 1873 in Iowa and 
died March 14, 1920, in Fruitland, Idaho. She leaves to mourn her loss a 
husband and four children, a mother and one brother and one sister.

The community was greatly shocked to hear of the death of Mrs. Slinker. She 
suffered a stroke of Paralysis last Saturday evening and passed to the Great 
Beyond about 8:30 Sunday evening. It is thought her death was caused from the 
effects of the flu which she had this winter and never fully recovered. She 
had been taking treatments at Payette ever since she was able to be up and 
around but her case was not thought of as serious.

Cora D. Roberts was married to E. L. Slinker June 24, 1896. She was a member 
of the Methodist church and also of the Royal Neighbors, Yeomen, and W.R.C.

The funeral was held at the Methodist Church in Payette Wednesday morning at 
10:30.

Heartfelt sympathy from the whole community is extended to the family during 
their bereavement of the loss of a loving wife and mother.
