Obituary from the Payette Independent 5/31/1928:

Rachael Lappin was born in Ohio, March 11, 1840. She lived here several years then moved with her parents to Illinois. On August 11, 1873, she was united in marriage to Joseph B. Johnson, in Pennsylvania. Here he died one year later. Mrs. Johnson went back to Illinois from Pennsylvania and she and her widowed mother went to Kansas where she married James Cook in 1880. To this union two daughters were born. She was left a widow again December 28, 1899. She came to Caldwell, Idaho, in 1910, and has since made her home with her two daughters. She came with Mr. and Mrs. Rosenberger to Fruitland in 1924, and made her home there most of the time until the last year. Since Mr. and Mrs. Pennington have lived in New Plymouth she has divided her time between the two places. She had been a member of the Christian church for a number of years.

She passed quietly away at the Rosenberger home Thursday morning, May 24th, at eleven o'clock, following a few days illness caused from complications of old age. She was confined to her bed only three days at the time of her death she was 88 years, 2 months, and 13 days old.

She leaves to mourn her loss her two daughters, Mrs. Estella Pennington, of New Plymouth, and Mrs. Edna Rosenberger, of Fruitland, 2 granddaughters, 4
grandsons and 1 aged sister in Kansas. She was one of a family of 12 children. She also leaves a large circle of friends who will be sorry to hear of her passing, and who deeply sympathize with her dear ones who are left.

Funeral services were held at the Baptist church at Notus, where she lived for a number of years, Saturday morning, at 11 o'clock, conducted by Rev. H. L. Jacobs, of New Plymouth. Interment was made in Canyon Hill cemetery in Caldwell. Mrs. J. M. Davis and Mrs. P. K. Hansen went from here and attended the funeral services.
