Doris Irene Baver, 86

On October 24, 2004 as the leaves of Autumn have began to change colors and the first snow fall has fallen on the mountain, the Lord has taken Doris Irene Baver, 86 of Grangeville to be with her parents Charles and Josephine Gordon, brothers Hayden and Kenneth and her husband Karl. She was born outside of Nezperce, Idaho on April 10, 1918. As she rode her horse, Topsy, along the Salmon River with her auburn hair a flying she was noticed by Dad, a mail stage driver. They were united in marriage, on the John Day Ranch, May 18, 1941. She worked for Irwin’s, Lindsley’s Furniture, Paul Eimers attorney and for the Grangeville School District until her blindness forced her retirement. This did not hold her back for long as soon she began her career in pottery. We also remember Christmas and all her goodies she made. She enjoyed working in her yard and would mow her lawn in the dark because she could see better.

She was always there when a person needed a little cheer or help and held all her friends very dear in her heart. Doris is survived by her three children Beverly and husband Jack Trombetta of Nezperce, Gordon and wife Bev of Wilsall, Montana and Karla and Matt Knox of Winifred, Montana. She is blessed with seven grandchildren, John Trombetta, Ken Trombetta, Tena Lycan, Chad Baver, Nathan Baver, Sally Knox and Sarah Knox and her six great grandchildren, Brittany Lycan, Tyesha Trombetta, Myah Trombetta, Micky Trombetta, Estrella Trombetta and Hannah Rose Baver.

Memorial services will be held Saturday, October 30 at 10:00 a.m. at the Grangeville United Methodist Church. Services are under the direction of the Blackmer Funeral Home, Grangeville. Send condolence to the family at Blackmerfuneralhome.com

Eleanora Webb, 86

Eleanora Graham Webb, a Grangeville native, passed away Saturday, October
16, 2004, at the age of 86.

She was born March 30, 1918, to Mr. and Mrs. James E. Graham. (Her
mother, Elsie Zehner, was also a Grangeville native.) Eleanora
attended school in Grangeville, where she graduated from high school
in 1935. She furthered her education by attending the University of
Idaho where she was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority, and
graduated in 1939 with a BS business education degree. Her first
teaching position was in Winchester during the 1939-1940 school year.

December 22, 1939, she married Orrin F. Webb and they made their home in
Grangeville where Orrin was employed at her father's insurance and
real estate office. When Orrin was called to active duty in December
of 1942, she remained in Grangeville, where she continued to teach
school, as well as office secretarial work for the school. She was
employed for a short time at the REA.

When Orrin returned from active duty in 1945, they purchased her dad's
insurance and real estate business from Len Jordan, who had purchased
it from her father in 1943. She and Orrin owned the business until
1961, when they sold it to George Gerrard.

Eleanora was very active in community affairs, having served as
president of the Grangeville Hospital Auxiliary, PEO, Prairie Nile
Club, and was a member of the Eastern Star, Daughters of the Nile, and
Cub Scout den mother, as well as various other community activities.

Eleanora loved flower gardening and took pride in making her lawn and
flowers always look nice. She could often be seen dragging the water
hose around - she always believed everything needed a lot of water!

She had a very unique characteristic in that she could remember so
many of her friends and their children's birthdays, wedding
anniversaries, and, as friends can attest, she always had some unique
remembrance for them on those special occasions.

Eleanora was also active in church activities, having taught Sunday
school classes when she was in high school, and also in her later
years as a member of the Grangeville Episcopal Church.

She is survived by her husband, Orrin, at their home in Grangeville.

A son, James, preceded her in death.

At her request, there will be a private service where she will be laid
to rest next to her son.

In lieu of flowers or memorials, Orrin and Eleanora ask only that you
remember them in your thoughts and prayers.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Blackmer Funeral Home in
Grangeville. Condolences may be made at www.Blackmerfuneralhome.com.
