RUNYON, Amanda (d. 1908)
Death Claims Pioneer
Mrs. Chas. Runyon, 21 years a resident of Lynden, passed away after a long illness Saturday afternoon. She was 65 years of age and a member of the Women's Relief Corps. The funeral took place Monday afternoon and was largely attended. Rev. A. J. Whitfield of the Methodist Church conducted a short service at the home and the last sad rites at the cemetery.
Amanda Smith was born Feb. 16, 1843, and was one of a family of six boys and four girls all of which are still living except herself. Two of her brothers live in South Dakota and the other four and two sisters in Iowa. Mrs. J. S. Harding, the other sister, who attended her during her last illness, lives at New Port, Wash. After the Civil War, Miss Smith married her soldier lover, Chas. Runyon, in 1867, at Horton, Iowa. Three children came to bless this union all of whom survive her, Mrs. Henry Slade, Mrs. Walter True and Joe Runyon, all of Lynden. Twenty one years ago the family moved to Lynden and established their home. So besides her brothers and sisters and husband and children, Mrs. Runyon leaves a host of friends in Lynden who mourn her death.
