Mrs. W. F. Stirm of Payette died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Katherine

Mrs. Stirm, formerly Veronika Polpelka, was born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, 
February 2, 1867.  She came to Payette in 1889 and married W. F. Stirm of this 
city, New Years Day, 1890.
 
To this union was born four children, two daughters, Mrs. Marie Moss, of New 
Plymouth, Mrs. Katherine Johnson of Longview, Wash., and two sons, William E. 
of Fruitland and Fred J. of Payette, all of whom survive her, together with 
their father, W. F. Stirm.  She is also survived by a sister, Mrs. John 
Christenson of San Francisco who, with her son, Herbert, was here for the

of the local Catholic church.  Interment was in the Riverside cemetery.

could speak seven different languages fluently.  Before coming to America, she 
was for a number of years the Queen's First Lady in Waiting at the Court of 
Austria-Hungary.  She was greatly respected in this community and her many 
friends will regret her passing.
