MRS. JAS. H. RHEA PASSES TO THE BEYOND
 
Crosses the Great Divide
Both Well Known
 
The entire community was shocked Monday by the passing of Mrs. J. H. Rhea, a 
well known and highly respected resident of the valley.  Mrs. Rhea, although 
not a strong woman, had been in unusually good health this winter.  Monday 
morning she had a paralytic stroke, and at about 4 p.m., she passed away.
 
Mrs. Rhea was 61 years, 11 months, 20 days old when the death angel called 
her.  She was born in Indiana but when quite young removed to Missouri.  In 
1881, she crossed the plains from that state to Oregon.  In 1883 she came to 
Idaho, locating first at Salubria, from which place she and her husband 
removed to Middle Valley about 15 years ago.
 
She leaves a husband and daughter, three sisters and four brothers to mourn 
her loss.  Her sisters all live outside of Idaho.  Mrs. Rachael Rushton lives 
at Weatherford, Oklahoma, Mrs. Fanny Keyes, at Watsonville, California, Mrs. 
Geneva Reese, Whittier, California and a brother who resides in Missouri.  
William, Ed and Carl Fletcher of Midvale, are half brothers.  Mrs. Rhea was 
the mother of two children, one of whom, was a son, who died several years 
ago.  Mrs. Rhea became a Christian when quite young.  She was a member of the 
Church of Christ.
 
Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the late home of the 
deceased.  Elder Richard Williams, of London, Oregon, conducted the services.  
A large number of friends of the deceased during her life, followed the 
remains to their last resting place on the hill overlooking the town.
  
Note:  According to the Idaho Death Index, Mahala R. Rhea was born 3-4-1853 
and died 2-22-1915.
