OBITUARY

Friday afternoon the word of Miss Marian Lewis Stetler's sudden death threw 
the whole community again into sorrow. It came as a shock to her parents, Mr. 
and Mrs. A. A. Stetler and to her aunt, Miss Annie Rupp, as they were making 
the day one of her happiest, granting all her birthday wishes, and to her 
classmates -- the Freshman class -- as they had planned a birthday shower for 
her at the close of the day. But the Heavenly Father planned otherwise and in 
our sorrow we bowed to His will knowing that "the Father who loveth all 
knoweth what is for the best" and that "lengthened breath is not the sweetest 
gift God sends his child, but sometimes the sable pall of death conceals the 
fairest gift His love can send."

Marian was born in Chicago, April 13, 1902 and came with her parents to 
Fruitland in 1910 when she entered the Fruitland school. She has always been a 
general favorite and leader in her classes. Marian was a faithful and 
interested member of the Chelola class of the Methodist Sunday School, being 
the vice president, and has been greatly missed by the whole Sunday School 
during her illness. She was also a member of the Queen Esther Missionary 
Society of which she was organist. Marian was brought home from the Hospital 
three weeks ago after a stay of ten weeks, following an operation for 
appendicitis. Death was due to Pulmonary embolism. She made a brave fight and 
everything was done that could be for her recovery. She was a beautiful 
character -- bright, happy and the light and life of her home. During her 
sickness she was planning some happy occasions with her friends for the 
summer, when she hoped to be well again. She leaves besides her parents and 
aunt, a little sister, Helen Ruth. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 
the home where many of her friends and friends of the family gathered. Rev. C. 
L. Walker officiated. A quartet from the Men's Glee club sang several 
beautiful selections, "Go to thy Rest," "Crossing The Bar," and "Going Down 
the Valley." Six of the freshmen boys acted as pall bearers. Interment was 
made in Riverside Cemetery, Payette, Idaho.

The bereaved ones have the sympathy of the whole community.
