From an undated newspaper:

Emma Fellows was born in Taswell county, Illinois, May 9, 1871, and passed away at her home near Fruitland, August 28, 1931, at 2;16 p.m. at the age of 60 years, 3 months and 19 days. She had been in failing health for several years. She was taken to the Ontario hospital, 5 weeks before she was operated on for cancer of the stomach, but it was found nothing could be done. She remained in the hospital two weeks after her operation and then was brought to her home at her own wish. Everything was done for her that love and human hands could do, but the one Power above saw best to relieve her of her suffering and took her to live with him.

She was married to Earl F. Nokes November 21, 1888 at Kearney, Neb., where they lived until 1901, when they came to Fruitland and purchased their ranch two miles north east of town, where they have lived since. A beautiful home was built by Mr. Nokes for her a few years ago, and every modern convience added for her pleasure and comfort which she enjoyed to the fullest extent, in spite of her failing health.

Since girlhood Mrs. Nokes has been a Christian having a strong and sincere faith to the end. Many times during her illness she said, "I am ready to meet my Savior. Oh, why doesn't he come and take me." She suffered greatly, but through it all she was kind and patient, ready to go at any time. Having no children of her own, she mothered many motherless children and cared for them like her own, giving them love and sympathy, thus relieving much suffering and sorrow, by her tender care.

She was a kind and true friend and a good neighbor. Anyone in the community needing help she was ready and eager to help them. Many friends mourn her death, and she will long be remembered for the good she has done.

Besides her husband, she leaves to mourn her aged mother, Mrs. Margaret Fellows; 6 brothers, Will, John, Frank, Lee, Jesse, and George, all of Amherst, Neb; and two sisters, Mrs. Bertle Browning and Mrs. Frank Nichols, both of Fruitland.

Funeral services were held from Christian church in Payette, of which she was a member, Sunday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, conducted by Mrs. J. S. Beem.

BABY AT REST
For the second time within the year, the death-angel has visited the G. E Fellows home, this time carrying away the soul of little Floyd Wayne, the youngest child, a boy of five summers.

Floyd Wayne Fellows, baby son of Mr. and Mrs. G E. Fellows, was born 6 miles southeast of Hardin on January 27th 1918 and died March 19th from pleuro pneumonia. Baby Floyd had been ill for the past two weeks but had been ailing ever since Christmas. The happy smile and sunny presence of the baby darling of the home will
be greatly missed by the parents and brothers and sisters; when one recalls that medical treatment and loving care were unavailing to save the little one and after everything was done that loving hearts could accomplish, it is realized that it was the will of God for the little one to be taken to the heavenly home and he passed
away about five o'clock Monday morning, March 19th, 1923. He was the youngest of the ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. G. E. (Burt) Fellows, all of whom survive except Samuel Wesley who was accidentally killed last summer in a railroad accident near Hardin. The little one leaves to mourn his untimely loss besides his heart
broken parents, four sisters, Mrs. A. H. Merry of Centralia, Mo., Mrs. J. R Redman of Watseka. III., Mrs. G. A. McCulley of Kansas City, Kans., and Miss Garnet Fellows of Hardin; and four brothers, Geo. C., Walter, James and LeRoy, all of Hardin.

Friends and neighbors gathered at the family home Tuesday morning at 10:00 o'clock where the funeral service was conducted by Rev. H. N. Blakeway, pastor of the Hardin Congregational Community Church.
Interment was made in the Hardin cemetery.

The ranch was sold in 1976 and the family moved into Big timber, Jim went to work for Stenberg Construction where he mastered the loader and scraper and built many dams, ponds, roads, or whatever needed to be built. He had an eye for leveling and many times the customer would request Jim to do the work as they knew he would do a good job. He used to say he knew every rancher and farmer in Sweet Grass County and the surrounding counties. He had a special relationship with Stanely Stenberg and his family.
Jim officially retired in 1995 but worked off and on after that on projects when the Scraper was required to get the job done.
In 1997, Jim and Bobbie purchased land out of White Sulphur Springs, and together with family, they build a cabin where they spent many happy retirement days. Jim continued to fish and always looked forward to his annual hunting trip to West Yellowstone with his son and grandson, never missing a hunt for 32 years up until this last October due to health.
He also enjoyed daily coffee time with his coffee buddies game of cribbage and playing the harmonica and piano by ear. Gardening became a passion in his later years of retirement, His hobby of rock cutting produced any pieces of agate jewelry and belt buckles for members of his family.
Preceding him in death were his parents; sister, Margaret Hanley, brother, Tom Fellows, and firstborn son, James Walter, and two nieces.
Survivors include his wife of almost 69 years, Bobbie, daughters, Linda (Ron) Mosness of Helena, Sandy (Ron) Thomas of Big Timber, Susan (Bruce) Hottwig of Missoula, Sally )Neal) Indreland of Big Timber and son Jim (JoLynn) Fellows of Bilings.
