Daughter of William A. Dissmore and Ella (Mead) Dissmore. She married Carl C. Metcalf on May 16, 1907, in Kamiah, Idaho.
Carl and Genevieve Metcalf and their family rode the train from Nebraska to Kamiah to spend Christmas 1918 with her family, the Dissmores, before traveling to Oregon for work.
On that train, they contracted influenza and died 15 hours apart from each other.
According to the Kamiah Progress newspaper, dated December 1918, "The funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Carl C. Metcalf, whose sudden death was chronicled last week, was held Thursday afternoon, and was perhaps the saddest funeral that Kamiah has ever witnessed.
On account of the influenza restrictions, no service could be held, excepting a short one at the grave.
The friends of the deceased couple and the Dissmore family gathered at the Johnson Undertaking Parlors and a sorrowful procession followed the two hearses to the cemetery."
