Tuesday last at 1890 Mrs.
Mary f. Mason, wife of the Rev.
G. E. Mason of the Congrega-
tional church, passed away. Dec
eased had been long sufferer,
and while her death might be ex-
pected at any time it was a shock
to the whole community when it
came. Mrs. Mason was born at
Unity, Maine, April IL, 1851. 1t
was first intended to ship the re-
mains back 10 her native state for
interment, but was later decided
to bury them here that the low
ing husband a children might
more often view the sacred
mound.
Mrs. Mason was an exception
ally bright woman. She was a
college graduate. and her learn
ing often showed itself when. IN
the absence of her husband on a
mission or other work connected
with his church, she would oc-
cupy the pulpit to the edifcation
of her hearers. She was at the
time of her death secretary of
the Woman's Missionary State
Union. and as such materially
assisted in its upbuilding. A
huband and two small children
are left to mourn her loss, and
the sympathy of the entire com
munity go to them in this their
great affiiction.
Funeral services were conduct
ed at the Congregational church
Thursday afternoon by the Rev.
r. B. Wright of Boise. assisted
by the Rev. Jas. Stoddard. The
church was filled with friends
listening to the beautiful sermon
over the remains, and the casket
and church was literally covered
with wreaths and flowers, placed
by loving hands. AT 7:30 p. N.
the remains were taken from the
