OBITUARY:
MET DEATH EN-ROUTE; Miss Ida A. Rundlett Expires on S. P. Train Homeward Bound
The family of Miss Ida Alena Rundlett, of this city, who has been in Los Angeles, California since November last seeking to recuperate he shattered health, was shocked and grieved on Sunday morning last to receive intelligence by wire of that young lady's death on the Southern Pacific train a few miles south of Bakersfield, in that state, while en route to her Salem home.
Mews of the fact that Miss Rundlett was failing seriously reached the family on the 17th inst. and her aunt, Mrs. S. M. Gerow, left for Los Angeles on Monday, the 19th to nurse her niece and convey her back to this city. They left Los Angeles on Saturday night at 10 o'clock; full of hope that home might be reached before any grave turn in Miss Rundlett's condition was encountered, but she sank rapidly en route and died in her aunt's arms while the train was traversing the western grades of Tehachapi pass.
No additional news has been received and it is presumed that the sad journey will be finished by the arrival of tomorrow's overland train, in which event the funeral will take place from the family home on the southeast corner of Winter and Marion streets tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. This arrangement is, of course, subject to change by virtue of further intelligence from Mrs. Gerow, which may make it expedient to defer the ceremony.
Miss Ida Alene Rundett was a native daughter of Oregon, and Oregon's capital city, having been born here in May, 1874. She was broadly known here and was most highly appreciated by those whose good fortune it was to be intimately associated with her in her daily work of social environmnet.
For a year or more prior to her departure for the South MIss Rundlett was a valued employee of the Oregon state insane asylum, and only left the service when her breaking health compelled her to seen new climate conditions. That the change did not bring to her the hoped for improvement is a matter of profound regret to hundreds of Salem friends, as well as to the members of her devoted family.
Besides her mother, Mrs. H. Rundlett there remain two brothers, Samuel ande Oswald, and four sisters, Maud, Linnie, Mamie and Hattie, all at home, to mourn the death of this young kinswoman, whose twenty-three years of loving companionship had made her ine3stimably dear to them, and their sorrow finds a large and sincere sympathy throughout the city.
