Mrs. Ida [BROOKS] PARAMORE, aged 69, died at 5:30 o’clock Saturday morning at the home of her
daughter Mrs. Percy SMITH at the corner of Pontiac and West Eighth Streets following a heart attack.
Mrs. Paramore had been in ill health for several years due to heart trouble but her death which is a
shock to her many friends in this city was entirely unexpected. It is believed the oppressive heat of the past
few days hastened her end.
The deceased was born in Hebron, Ind., on September 16, 1867. Her parents were Job and Arminta
BROOKS. In a ceremony which was performed in Hebron she was married to the late Fred PARAMORE.
Thirty years ago Mrs. Paramore moved to this city to reside. Since moving to Rochester the deceased
has been prominent in church, social and civic circles here. She was a devout member of the Grace
Methodist Church and was active in the Eastern Star Lodge and Manitou Chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Survivors are the daughter Mrs. SMITH; granddaughter Miss Jane SMITH and a sister Mrs. Louis
WEISS, Syracuse, N.Y.
The funeral services will be held from the Smith home at 10:30 o’clock Monday morning. Interment
will be made in the cemetery at Hebron.
Injuries sustained in an automobile accident east of Winamac last September hastened the death of
Mrs. Eunice SMITH, 70, widow of Henry C. SMITH, of Winamac, who succumbed Friday afternoon at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Harvey RHOADES, near Lucerne.
In the crash, Mrs. Smith suffered a broken collar bone and other injuries that necessitated her
confinement to the Carneal hospital, Winamac, for two weeks. Since then her health has failed gradually.
On May 8 she was removed from her home at Winamac to the home of the daughter near Lucerne
where she has been confined to her bed almost constantly.
Surviving are four daughters, Mrs. Ethel BAKER of Winamac; Mrs. RHOADES of Lucerne; Mrs.
Mabel LEE of Chicago, and Mrs. Clara HENDERSON of Kewanna; two sons, Roland [SMITH] of
Rochester, and Gordon [SMITH] of North Liberty; a sister, Mrs. Gordon McCRACKIN of Harvey, Ill.; a
brother, James ROSE of Michigan; twelve grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
The body was prepared for burial at the Fry and Lang parlors in Winamac and will be taken to the
Smith residence in Winamac today.
Funeral rites will be held at the Kewanna Christian Church at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon and burial
will be made in the I.O.O.F. cemetry there.
