The death OF Mrs. Fred l., Evans
came as a mighty blow to her rela-
tives and friends all unpreparcd as
they were for such sad news. Fol
lowing an operation on December 10
she had recovered consciousness and
was making rapid progress towards
recovery, But suddenly there was a
change for the worse and on Thurs
day night She died after much suffer
ing. The news was received here Sat
urday. The roads being nearly i'm
passible, it was hard to get the sad
tidings out from Wilder. Mr.. and
Mrs. Evans and family have resided
near Wilder for about six years, COM
ing here from Salt Lake City, where
Mr.. Wilder had for years held a re-
sponsible position in the 0. S. l.. Of
fees. Their united efforts have help
ed very materially in the building up
of this community and this loss of
one of our most loved and respected
members is deeply felt by our people.
Mrs Evans was devoted to her fam
| ily her three sons, Earl. Glenn and
Paul, will miss beyond expression her
watcGful care for their comforts and
more than that her words Of inspira
ton and courage. The sincerest sym
pathy of this entire community goes
out to these bereaved ones and other
communities along Mr.. Evans mail
route will also feel deep sympathy
! for their stricken mail carrier. The
funeral took place at the Shrieber and
Sidenfaden undertaking parlors at
Boise. The pastor of the deceased
was to perform the last rites but
was unable to reach Caldwell to the
car line and so telephoned Rev. w. H
Bowler, beloved friend of the Ev
ans family, who filled his place. In
terment was made at Boise.
Many disappointments for the lit
tie folks were in store for them on
Christmas Eve. There were not
enough at either church to have even
a part of an entertainment. The
Baptist gave out the little ones treat
Sunday morning and the MeBhodists
tried the entertainment feature again
Sunday night. A good many people
are still showed in, cannot get out
to or along the roads on account of
deep drifts and ice, travel being most
1y on foot, which is very difficult also.
Farmers are out with and head of
horses trying to break the road so

be delivered part way of the routes
on the Parma and Greenleaf rurals,
causing much inconvenience to car
riers and congestion of mail.
