I read the other replies and want to add my thoughts. I have has several
experiences in having to have documents notarized in the last 6 years. All
having to do with the settlement of three estates. In most cases the notary
I used was someone that knew who I was and therefore I did not have to show
identification. In two cases I was not in a position to use someone who
knew me and I did have to produce my driver's license.

I grew up in a small town in the 1950 & 60s. And everyone knew everyone
else in town. I would doughty that any notary in town would have required
identification back then. I wonder if this is not the case in Sheri's
document? I would think that Boise would have been small enough that even
if everyone did not know everyone else in 1910, there were enough people who
would have known the person that they would notarize a document without
requiring identification.

Just a thought.
