DEATH OF MRS. S. L. BOARDMAN


On Tuesday, Dec. 7, 1909, the village of Thorp lost one of its most respected citizens and Clark County another one of its old pioneers, in the death of Mrs. Savilla Boardman, beloved wife of Ephraim A. Boardman, caused by kidney and liver disease.


Savilla Fults was born July 6, 1843, near Theresa Falls, N.Y., and was married to Ephraim Boardman Feb. 13, 1860, and was the first white woman to set foot on the ground where the village of Thorp now stands.


She was the mother of eight children, three of who survive Anson, Mrs. W. J. Frank, and Melvin, all residing in Thorp. Her father, Joseph Fults, went to the California gold fields in 1859 and was never heard from afterward. Her mother, Mrs. Emaline Fults died in the village of Thorp June 15, 1906. Besides her husband and three children, she leaves four brothers, Alonzo, Austin, Elmer and Alden Fritz, who reside in North Dakota.


The funeral was held at the home at two o'clock last Thursday afternoon.
