Our dear little Oneida. The whole family loves her still. She was laid to rest on the 16th of January 1925 (see her death certificate for location of her grave) in Prarie View Cemetery in Grangeville, Idaho. I and other family members have stood in front of her grave marker in that cemetery on several occasions. It was white with a lamb on it, her name is engraved on it as well. Sadly, during some maintenance her marker was damaged and the cemetery staff removed her marker to the garage, along with her brothers marker, Ronald Bennett Nurss, who died at 3 months of age and was laid to rest in that same cemetery in 1915. We are saddened to learn that they have no plans to return their markers, and record of their burial has been lost to them.
Evidence of our Grangeville family history is slowing being lost.
