OBITUARY

Nellie Callaway, daughter of John and Mary Callaway, was born in Burlington, 
Kansas, Dec 2, 1860. At the age of twenty, on March 13, 1881 she was married 
to Geo. Slonaker of Smith co., Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. Sloneker lived for several 
years at different places in the state of Kansas, then moved to Colorado, 
afterwards to Utah, and 18 years ago they came to Idaho where they have since 
made their home near the town of Payette. Mrs. Sloneker was the mother of four 
children all of whom are living, Mrs. Mary Leigh, George, Bertha and Delta 
Sloneker. She became a Disciple of Christ when about seventeen years of age 
and has been loyal to His church all these years. She was one of the fourteen 
charter members of the Church of Christ at Payette when first organized 
sixteen years ago. She was taken seriously ill eleven days ago and continued 
suffering until 10 o'clock on the evening of Feb. 5, at which time she quietly 
passed away leaving a husband, four children, two grand children, three 
brothers, three sisters and a host of friends to remember her gentle loving ?

MRS GEO SLONEKER

Mrs. Geo. Sloneker, aged 54 years., died last Friday night at her home of 
paralysis. She had been seriously ill since she was stricken about ten days 
ago, so her death was not unexpected. A husband survives, also three daughter, 
Mrs. Mary Leigh of Payette, Delta teaching at Twin Falls, Mary teaching at 
Kuna, and a son George living in Boise. All were called home because of her 
serious illness and were here to attend the funeral which was held at the 
Christian church in Payette at two o'clock p.m. Sunday afternoon, conducted by 
the pastor, Rev. Benjamin Smith. The body was laid to rest in the Payette 
cemetery. Mrs. Sloneker leaves a host of friends who extend sincere sympathy 
to the grief stricken family.

CARD OF THANKS
We, the undersigned, as husband and children, desire to express our heartfelt 
thanks to the friends and neighbors who have so kindly assisted us in caring 
for Mrs. Sloneker in her last sickness. Geo. Sloneker, Mrs. Mary E. Leigh, 
Ernest Leigh, Geo. H. Sloneker, Bertha H. Sloneker, Delta M. Sloneker
