Rock Creek, Idaho July 18th,
1879 and died at Shoshone, Ida
bo, July 20, 1921. She was the
daughter of Wiliiam and Anna
nil a well known pioneer fam
ilv 0 Lincoln county. She re-
moved with her parents to
sboshone in 1888, where she
made her home. She was ed
ncated in the Shoshone schools
opd the Albion Normal. AT the
ape of 10 she began teaching
in the public schools of this
state, whish profession she fol-
lowed for two years.
October, 1900, she was unit
Cd in marriage to William z.
Orr. of Deeth, Nevada. To this
nnion were born two children
who survive her.
For a number Of years prior TO
her death she resided at Elko,
Nevada. where she and her
husband were engaged in the
mercantile business. Her en-
ergies were untireingly devot-
cd TO her home life and the
care and education of her chill
dren, and the upbuilding Of the
business in which they were
engaged.
During March, 1921 she be-
came seriously i'll, at her Eli
ko hdme and her brother, DR..
c. w. Dill, was summoned to
her bedside. She received ev-
cry possible attention at the
Elko hospital, beside the care
Of her own family, but failing
to make any improvement IN
her health, she was brought to
Shoshone in order that she
might be under the care of her
brother, DR.. Dill and his wife
who is also a graduate physl-
clan. Here she received every
care and attention that human
agencies could bestow. Wed
nesday, July goth her condl-
ton suddenly became so serl-
GUS that relatives and friends
were summoned to her bedside
who remained with her to the
end When the sad news OF
her death was made known, the
many friends and acquaint-
ances of the deceased not only
realized, but freely expressed
the irreparable loss the family
had sustained. They vividIy
recalled the many kind deeds
she had so gladly and willingly
performed to comfort the un-
fortunate and needy, each act
graced with a smile that will
remain visible to the faces OF
the living long after her body
has returned to mother earth.
What more need be said!
what more is necessary for the
completion of a successful life
let, when the star of her life !
vas still in the ascendency-
when happiness gemmed ev-
Try hour with children, hus-
'and, relatives and friends
lbout her she left the shore
ouched by that mysterious sea
nat never yet has borne on its
Vaye the image of a homeward
