Mrs. Thomas Windle

Elizabeth Rachael Youtsler was born at Fort Scott, Kansas, December 22,
1866, where she spent her early childhood.
In 1876 she, with her parents, four brothers and two sisters, came to
Idaho, crossing the plains in a covered wagon, landing near what is now
New Plymouth, where her father secured employment of Robert Kennedy, her
mother caring for Mr. Kennedy's orphaned children. Later her father
filed on a homestead, where she spent her girlhood.
On January 29, 1891, she was united in marriage to Thomas Jefferson
Windle of Payette, Idaho. Four children were born to this union.
She always took an active interest in her home and community, and was
always ready to lend a helping hand to any one in distress or trouble. 
She was a member of the H.O.A. Club of French, Idaho. And since early
girlhood she had been a member of the Baptist church.
Deceased leaves to mourn her loss her husband, Thomas Windle of French,
Idaho, two daughters, Addie Mae Howard of Council, Idaho; Elsie Arpie
Phipps of Huntington, Ore.; one son, Burral Thomas of French, Idaho, and
five grandchildren. One daughter, Lilah Mary, preceded her in death
August 20, 1910. She is also survived by four brothers, John and Henry
Youtsler of Boise, Idaho; Bismarck Youtsler of Letha, Idaho; Samuel
Youtsler of San Bruno, Calif., and one sister, Mrs. J.B. Cosman of Salem, Ore.; 
one sister, Arpie Horamon, passing away in 1895. Her parents are
also deceased. A cousin Miss Ida Woosley, who has been almost a sister
to her, lives at Nampa, Idaho.
The deceased had been in failing health for some time, but nothing of a
serious nature until the last few months of her life. Everything was
done medically that could be done, but she kept failing until the end. 
She knew her loved ones to the last, although too ill to talk, the end
came peacefully December 24, 1930, her husband and three children and
son's wife being at her bedside when the end came. Thus closed the
chapter of a wonderful life well spent.
Funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon December 26, by the
pastor, L.G. Fraser of the First Baptist church. Interment was made in
the Riverside cemetery in the family plot.
Darling Mother has left us; left us, yes, forevermore. Jesus is her
companion on that bright and sunny shore. Though we miss her ever sadly,
and the way seems dark and dreary without her, fear not now or ever -
when the roll is called up yonder, our loved ones name is there.
