Mrs. Ida Magerle passed away at her home here Sunday morning after a very short illness. Ida Heckathorn was born in Indiana in 1871 and came across the plains when only five years of age to Oregon. Her old home was at Eagle Point. In her early twenties she was united in marriage to George Magerle of Rogue River and to this union were born three children, who survive: Carl Magerle and Mrs. Lelah Milton of this city and Mrs. Myrtle McGregor of Marshfield, Ore. Mr. Magerle met with a fatal accident in 1910. She is also survived by three grandchildren and three sisters. In the passing of Mrs. Magerle Rogue River loses one of its most highly respected citizens, and her kind smile and ever ready hand of help will be greatly missed by her host of friends and neighbors. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the Community hall, Rev. Fenton of "the Church of God" officiating. Interment in the Rogue River cemetery. The deep sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved family.
