From the Idaho Statesman newspaper - Wednesday Feb. 7, 1996
Christena Baker Greer, 96, a longtime resident of King Hill, died Thursday, Feb. 1, 1996, at a Boise care center.
Services will be held on Saturday, Feb. 10, at 11 a.m. at the King Hill Community Church. She will be buried beside her husband in the Glenns Ferry Cemetery. Arrangements are under the direction of Summers Funeral Home, McMurtrey Chapel.
Christena was born on Jan. 10, 1900 in Snohomish, Wash. to Ernest Baker and Onie Bennett Baker. At an early age she moved with her parents to Idaho. She graduated from Caldwell High School in 1919. She attended the University of Idaho in Moscow for two years. In 1922 she married Arthur Greer, a World War I veteran, at Caldwell. They lived in the Pendleton, Ore. area where they built and operated the Boiling Point Service Station from 1926 to 1942, at which time they moved to Hermiston, Ore. In December, 1946, they returned to Idaho, to operate a ranch near King Hill. For the past nine years Mrs. Greer has resided at the Cedar Crest Retirement Center in Mountain Home, where she remained until her final illness.
An active and valued member of the King Hill and Glenns Ferry communities, Mrs. Greer was a longtime member of the American Legion Auxiliary, the Rebekah Lodge, the King Hill Grange, and the King Hill Community Presbyterian Church. For many years she served as the King Hill correspondent to the Twin Falls News. She remained interested in public affairs and wrote letters to the editor of the Idaho Statesman when she was well into her nineties.
She is survived by four daughters, Dorothy Wolff of Omak, Wash.; Helen Wilson of Hermiston, Ore.; Ruth Stemper of Boise and Sharron Cassavant of Wakefield, Mass; as well as 17 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur G. Greer of King Hill, her son, J. Robert Greer, and a grandson, Wendell Stemper, both of Boise.
Calling hours at the Summers Funeral Home, McMurtrey Chapel in Mountain Home, are from 12 noon to 8 p.m. on Friday Feb. 9. The family suggests that memorials may be made in her memory to the King Hill Community Church or to a favorite charity.
