I am not related but did find this for you:
Idaho Statesman, Boise, Idaho, Fri. Feb 21 1902 page 6
Death of the Only Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Cartwright
Georgie, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Cartwright of Shafer creek, died at the Weiser academy last evening. She was 16 years of age.
The cause of death was bilious fever. The parents were sent for some days ago, but when they reached Boise they were notified that their daughter was so much better that it would not be necessary for them to come. They went home, and yesterday Mrs. Cartwright came back, intending to go to Weiser on last night's train to be with her daughter. Before train time the news came that the sufferer was dead. The remains will be brought back to Boise today.

I second that. This was posted on the Boise County IDGenWeb site and I found that the password doesn't work - so is not helpful to researchers looking for information. Is it possible to post any updated password?

It looks like that person (user ID - jackieoz1) is a contributor to several sites with obituaries. Many people do this as a service to genealogists who may be in search of that elusive relative that is either a brick wall or just disappeared from view. I'm sure they did not mean to be disrespectful or have any hidden agenda.

Hi Judyartley, Thank you for being so kind !
I do not have a second name for my great Uncle John Russell born 1864, Ontairo, Canada.
Both his mother and father (John and Margaret Russell ) were born in Scotland.
When he emmigrated to the US., I don't think he was married.
I don't believe that Wesley sounds like a family name?
Strange, how I can't even find him in the census ! !

I tried your website but I was having trouble navigating it to go to where there were newspaper obits.
If you don't mind, would you have time to look for me ?
Thank you again.

Re: Obit information

JObland — 2011-02-06 20:49:19Z

If he passed away in Boise, the Idaho Statesman would probably have the obituary. It did not run in the Idaho World, even though he was buried in Idaho City. There is a Joseph Parker buried here also. Dates would indicate a brother or nephew/cousin if they are related. May be he liked the area and requested burial here. Do you need a picture of the headstone, if there is one? I can't do it now due to the snow level, but spring would work. contact me directly at graves@graves-r-us.com.

Re: Obit information

tdee1960 — 2011-02-06 17:35:59Z

Thank-you. I am new at this research stuff....sorry. The cemetary records say that the marker is a Relyea Funeral Home marker. I would assume that if a FH in Boise handled the arrangements, and the buriel was in Idaho City, that he was buried there because his family was from the Idaho City area. Any thoughts as to why there is no obituary? Thanks for your help.

Re: Looking for info~ Harry Richardson/Gertrude~ Boise, Idaho

judyartley53 — 2010-05-25 04:43:31Z

Hi Jerald,
I'm not sure what info you're looking for but this is what I found. I found your family tree on Ancestry (your query should say you have a family tree on Ancestry).

I didn't find anything for Harry and Gertrude prior to 1930.

A good way to find out more about a family is to request copies of their obituaries. Go to raogk.org, read guidelines, choose Idaho, choose Ada Co. and choose one volunteer.

Maybe Harry's and Gertrude's parents will be mentioned in their obituary. If not, you might have to order copies of their death certs.

Also be careful when you're posting queries about people living in Boise, Ada Co., ID. You posted in Boise Co. which is not Boise city. Successful Searching!

The Ogden Standard Examiner, Ogden, Utah,
August 20, 1928.

Drunken Driver Injures Four
Boise, Ida., August 20 (AP)
A woman and three children narrowly escaped serious injury Sunday night when a light truck they were driving from Emmett to Boise was sideswiped by another automobile.
The woman, Mrs. Metta Powell, was severely shaken and the children Ruth Ells and Geraldine and Max Hansen were bruised.
Lawrence Miles of Emmett, driver of the other car, was arrested by deputy sheriffs and charged with driving an automobile while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. He suffered a bad cut across the hand. His companion, Frank Hutton, also of Emmett, received a slight cut on the head. He was not booked at the sheriff's office.
