MILESTONE BIRTHDAY

Amelia Curnow Thomas

100th Birthday

Amelia Curnow Thomas turns 100 on Oct. 2, 2021.

Amelia came to the United States in 1923 with her parents and three siblings from Canada. The family settled in Wardner, Idaho. Another child joined the family in 1928. She remained in the Silver Valley for 87 years.

Amelia graduated from Kellogg High School in 1939 and worked at such jobs as grocery store, physician’s office and bank until marrying John Thomas in 1942.

John and Amelia had two children, John and Kathryn who went on to college and life outside from the valley.

Amelia moved to Rathdrum in 2008 and remains with her daughter and son-in-law, Kathryn and Bill Solum, now in Coeur d'Alene.

She has besides her two children, four grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, two stepsons and two step great-grandchildren. She is the surviving matriarch of the Thomas-Curnow families, which include Hoffman’s, Elliotts and Galloways.

If she were asked the reason for her longevity, she would not have much wisdom except clean living, attention to doctor’s suggestions and TLC from her family.
