Carrie Mae
Inman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Inman of the Pack River district, died
early Thursday morning a siege of scarlet fever. County Health Officer Dr. P. B.
Evans reported yesterday.
Dr. Evans reported that the little girl was the first in the
family to become ill with the disease and had about recovered when death came.

Early A.M. Wreck Takes Life of Elsie Hoover at Kootenai
Mrs. Floyd
(Elsie) Hoover, 41, Kootenai, was dead on arrival at Bonner General Hospital
early Saturday morning after she had been thrown from her careening pickup onto
the pavement of a street in Kootenai and then run over by an approaching car.
Mrs. Hoover apparently lost control of the machine just after
turning off highway 10-A, Ron Bruce, state policeman, reports. The pickup seems
to have run off the side of the road and as the driver attempted to pull it back
she was tossed out, striking her head on the pavement. The pickup proceeded on a
considerable distance and came to rest in a neighboring yard.
A car driven by Leander J. Wemhoff, Samuels, ran over Mrs.
Hoover's body very shortly after the original accident. Wemhoff did not see the
woman at all, he told officers, but felt a bump and though he had struck a dog.
He drove to the end of the block and turned around to return and investigate.
The accident occurred directly in front of the home of Mrs. Laura Breeden, Mrs.
Hoover's sister, who heard the commotion and came to the scene very shortly.
Officers held Wemhoff blameless in the tragedy and Coroner
Barry Nelson says a severe head injury caused by striking the pavement was the
cause of death.
Funeral services were held yesterday morning from the Moon
chapel with the Rev. E. G. G. Meyer of the Clark Fork Lutheran Church
officiating.
A resident of Kootenai for the past 20 years, Mrs. Hoover was
born in Kirvin, Kan., on Jan. 29, 1922. She was a member of the Eagles
auxiliary.
Surviving are her husband, four sons, Teddy, in the service
at White Sands, N.M.; Larry, Clifford, and Johnnie of Kootenai, and three
daughters, Claudia Burk, Clark Fork; Sharon, Lewiston, and Jeannette, Kootenai.
Also surviving are four brothers, Raymond Inman, Blackfoot, Idaho; Milton Inman,
Hope; Clifford Inman, Clark Fork and William Inman, Kootenai, and three sisters,
Leona Wilson, Seattle; Laura Breeden, Kootenai, and Dorothy McFarland, Coeur

Patricia A. Inman
Patricia A. Inman fought a courageous battle
against cancer for 9 1/2 years that ended on Nov. 6, 2006. She never complained,
but chose to live her life to the fullest. Her remarkable strength to survive
came from her loving husband Gary Inman, children, and grandchildren. Patti was
born Jan. 1, 1947 in Los Angeles, Calif. to Chris and Pat Christianson. They
moved to Wichita, Kan. where they stayed until Patti was 15. Her family moved to
Rupert, Idaho where Patti graduated from Minico High School in 1965 and Briggs
Business College one year later. Patti worked as a bookkeeper for many years. In
1968, Patti married John Weber and gave birth to her daughter Melissa on July
19. They later divorced. She met the love of her life, Gary Inman soon after.
When Gary passed the 'Melissa' test, they married July 29, 1975. In the spring
of 1976 Gary, Patti, and Melissa moved to Boise. Ryan joined the family Oct. 31,
1976, followed by Michael on Sept. 6, 1978. Patti´s family was her joy. She
loved nothing more than to spend time with her parents, brothers, sisters,
nieces, and nephews. Family reunions, holidays, weddings, and births were highly
anticipated in her life! Patti was always happiest going to any events to
support her family, but especially the many soccer games of Ryan and Michael,
and later her grandkids. Patti´s cancer recurred in 1997, soon after the birth
of her first grandson Colin. It was at this time that Gary showed his true
colors. Gary was sincerely devoted to Patti through sickness and health. His
unfailing optimism and the magical birth of a grandchild at each health crisis
were her reasons to continue the fight to live. Colin, Jacob, Tanner, Madeline,
Maya, Devin, and Sawyer were her blessings. Patti is survived by her devoted
husband Gary Inman, her three children Melissa, Ryan, and Michael, and their
spouses Gordon Andersen, Kandiss, and Dallas, her seven grandchildren, sister
Linda Cooper, brother Brian Christianson and wife Marie, brother Brad
Christianson and wife Mary, sister Susan Cox, several nieces, nephews, aunts,
and uncles. Her Aunt Mike and Uncle Claire held a special place in her heart for
always providing support and comfort to our family in the years after her
parents died. Patti has joined her beloved parents Pat and Chris where, as our
guardian angels, they watch over us all. Memorial services will be held at 4:
p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 11, at the Cathedral of the Rockies. Arrangements are
under the direction of Summers Funeral Homes, Ustick Chapel in Meridian. Our
family wishes to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful doctors and
nurses who provided Patti such a good quality of life over the past nine years.
She appreciated all their hard work and dedication in helping her defy the odds
for so long. In lieu of flowers, Patti would want donations sent to the American
Cancer Society 2676 S. Vista Ave. Boise, ID 83705.
