CALDWELL - Mrs. Cora
E. Johnston, 87, of Notus, a longtime resident of Canyon

Mrs. Johnston was born Aug. 2, 1871, in Blandensville,

by immigration train to San Francisco, by ship from San
Francisco to Portland and by train and stage coach to the
Grande Ronde valley of eastern Oregon. She was married
Sept. 28, 1890 at Summerville, Ore., to James F. Johnston and
they lived in Elgin and Enterprise, Ore., until moving to
Notus in 1905. Mr. Johnston died March 3, 1955, in
Caldwell.
She was a member of the Christian church and a charter
member of the Rebekah lodge at Enterprise, later transferring
to the Gem of the Mountains Rebekah lodge of Caldwell, to
which she had been affiliated more than 50 years.
Surviving are three sons, Roy of Glenns Ferry, Dewey of
Notus and Ted Johnston of Boise; three daughters, Mrs.
E. E. Little of Kuna, Mrs. C. O. Cason of Nampa and Mrs.
Dalton Varner of Caldwell; a sister, Mrs. Anna Brown of
