Mrs. Ella Irvin, 77, died Tuesday evening, December 22, 1942, at her home in this city. Death was attributed to the infirmities of old age. Mrs. Irvin had been gradually growing weaker for some time past and death came without suffering.
The deceased was born at Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1865. Her maiden name was Ella Thompsn. In 1887 she was married and came west at that time, first living in the state of Washington, then in Wyoming, and the family homesteaded in Spionkop, Mont. She came to Shelby in 1924 and has made her home here since that time.
There were nine children in the family; a boy, David, died at the age of 13, and eight children are still living. They are Mrs. Sidney Hall, Vaucouver, Wash.; Mrs. Earl Rathbun of Bonners Ferry, Idaho; Evelyn Isaacson of Great Falls; Mrs. Herman Swan, Chester; and Joe W. Irvin, Mrs. W. F. Henderson, Mrs. Earl Addy and Herb Irvin of Shelby. There are 24 grandchildren.
Mrs. Irvin was a well-liked and highly respected matron and was active in the affairs of the Community M. E. church here. Possessing a sunny disposition, she made many firm friends who will miss her greatly.
Funeral services were held Thursday at the Community M. E. church, with burial in the Shelby cemetery. Pallbearers were Tom Daley, Jean Hasquet, Clyde Ball, Frank Kincaid, P. J. Sauer and John McCormick.
