Orofino Tribune - June 30, 1911

Obituary.

Charles Hollister, was born in Rock Rapids, in the State of Iowa, fifty nine years ago, where he was married. Quite a number of years ago he brought his family to this Northwest country, having spent his time in Washington and Idaho.

A few years ago he became a paralytic, which disease left him in feeble mind and body; and about a year ago he was brought to the North Idaho Sanitarium in Orofino, where he died about two weeks ago.

He was buried in the Orofino cemetery, June 22nd. He leaves a wife and six children.

(Note: He was born in Massachusetts, married in Iowa, where his wife was born.)From "3Mothers" research on Ancestry.com:

Charles Hollister, was born in Rock Rapids*, in the State of Iowa, fifty nine years ago**, where he was married. Quite a number of years ago he brought his family to this Northwest country, having spent his time in Washington and Idaho.

A few years ago he became a paralytic, which disease left him in feeble mind and body; and about a year ago he was brought to the North Idaho Sanitarium in Orofino, where he died about two weeks ago.

He was buried in the Orofino cemetery, June 22nd. He leaves a wife and six children.

(*Note: He was born in Massachusetts, married in Iowa, where his wife was born_
(**Note: He also died at age 57, not 59).

In addition: The Riverside Cemetery was once known as The Orofino Cemetery. A photo request has been put in.

UPDATE: Volunteers found no stone or recorded entry for Ira at Riverside Cemetery, but another member has listed Ira as being at Hill Cemetery in Orofino. Have put a request in for that and am waiting to see if indeed that is where he is buried instead. At that point I will decide how to handle this memorial page. If there is a correct location and double entry for Ira at Hill Cem I will look into findagrave procedure and policy on how to handle the merging of the memorial(s).

A volunteer who attempted to find him at Riverside Cem revealed that he may actually be buried at a small sanitarium cemetery in Orofino instead...so we'll see. That was where he received his care prior to death.
