Kendrick Gazette Thursday, January 13, 1938 page 1: Mrs. S. S. Taber Mrs. S. S. Taber, a resident of Fix Ridge for many years, died in an American Falls hospital December 29, following an operation of a few days previous. Mrs. Taber had gone to American Falls to spend the holidays with her daughter, Miss Thelma Davis, who is taking nurses training at the hospital there. On December 23 Mrs. Taber was taken ill and was removed to the hospital, where a few days later she underwent a major operation. While the operation was said to have been a success, death was due to a blood-clot around the heart. Evelyn Ruth Davies was born in England, October 19, 1887. She came to Canada in 1917, where she met and married a Mr. Davis. To this union one daughter, Thelma, was born. Mr. and Mrs.. Davis came to Spokane, where Mr. Davis died during the flu epidemic of 1918. Later Mrs. Davis and young daughter came to Juliaetta and was employed by Mr. Taber to take care of his first wife and his mother, both of whom later passed away, after which she continued to be employed by Mr. Taber as housekeeper and in 1923 they were united in marriage. To this union one son, Rex, was born, who, with her daughter Thelma, survives, as does her widower, S. S. Taber. Aside from her two children she had no blood relatives in America, but leaves many in England, including her father. Mrs. Taber was a woman beloved by everyone who knew her. She was a loving wife and a good mother, in fact a desired resident for any community. Funeral services were held in the United Brethren church at Juliaetta on Sunday, January 9, the sermon being delivered by Rev. George Calvert. Burial was made in the Fix Ridge cemetery.

He was bereft of his first wife Feb. 7, 1905, after a lingering illness. In 1906 he was united in marriage to a widow, Mrs. Katherine Hedler (nee Nicklas) who passed away quite suddenly Oct. 10, 1908. Two of his children also preceded him from this life, his son, David, and daughter, Susan Giese.

April 5. – Miss Ollie Dumbauld, of Juliaetta, who committed suicide
last night, left letters showing that disappointment in love was the
motive for the act. She left a letter for Frank Snyder, who is supposed
to have jilted her, and another to her sister and brother-in-law. The
letter says: ”Mr. Arthur Perryman and my dear Eva: There is one thing I ask of you: I want you to tell dear father and mother I wished to be buried in the Juliaetta cemetery. Eva dear, console them. Tell them I am dwelling with the angels, who in groups are standing by me. If Frank were still my own, as he used to be, I would be living happy, as I used to be. He will be mine in heaven. What more could I ask? Mr. Hedges is the clergyman I desire to preach my funeral. Tell dear sisters Bertha and Jessie good-bye, and the same to yourself. Good-bye, my dear. (Signed.) Ollie Dumbauld. Frank Snyder called in the evening and remained a few minutes. Shortly after, Miss Dumbauld retired. A few minutes later the sister’s baby began to cry loudly, arousing Mr. Perryman, who was in another room. He called to Miss Dumbauld and heard a heavy fall in the girl’s room. He found her on the floor in the throes of death. Physicians were called at once, but nothing could be done. Miss Dumbauld had taken two ounces of carbolic acid. The contents of the bottle had evidently been mixed with laudanum and a small portion remained in the bottle. She died an hour after taking the poison.

| GENESEE,
June 21. – James Reuben, the most widely known Indian of the Nez Perce
tribe, died yesterday at the agency at Lapwai. A few weeks since Mr.
Reuben left Genesee en route to the agency, when his horse threw him.
He landed in a barb wire fence, horribly lacerating one of his legs.
His wounds caused the taking of a great many stitches and left him in a
critical state, the flesh having been torn to the bone. It is given out that his death resulted from other causes, but it is believed to have resulted from these injuries. At the time of death he was what is termed now president of the tribe. Source: Idaho Statesman - June 22, 1898 Submitted by Marla Zwakman |

digging on his farm last Thursday. He had dug to a depth of 40 feet
when the top earth and rock gave way without any warning burying him
