Obituary
Mrs. Lillian M. Groseclose, 71, a resident of Juliaetta since 1935, died yesterday at 3 a.m. at St. Joseph's Hospital of cancer. She had been in ill health for several months.
She married Houston L Groseclose on December 25, 1916, at Moscow after both came from Howell, Idaho, by train. They had the sheriff and his son as their witnesses.
They returned to the Juliaetta area and resided on Fix Ridge where they farmed. In 1923 their home burned and they moved to Arrow Junction to farm until 1928, then to Kendrick for five years, moving to Juliaetta in 1935, where they have resided since.
Known to her friends as Lil, youngsters remembered her and her husband for their "good watermelons." The couple would keep neighborhood youngsters well supplied. For awhile she helped her husband raise chickens and grow a large garden. After canning all she needed, she gave the rest away.
In addition to doing crossword puzzles and enjoying a walk each day when she was able, she would love to visit people.
Born the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Booker Dyer on Oct 30, 1896, at Knoxville, Tenn., she came west with her parents in 1899. She received her education at Randall Flat, near Troy, Idaho.
In addition to her husband at Juliaetta, she is survived by a son, Thomas Groseclose, Waterloo, Iowa; two brothers, James Dyer, Tacoma, and Van Dryer, Sidney, Australia; two sisters, Mrs. Elmina Woodruff, Lewiston, and Mrs Mary Kimberling, Moscow; and four grandchildren....
