      Death of Mrs. Wm. Peterson.

      On Friday morning, Oct. 20th, Mrs. Wm. Peterson of Hawksville passed peacefully to her long home.

      Mrs. Peterson was a native of Sussex, England, and came to this country when but 4 years old, settling first in Elmira. For many years past she resided on the "Old Home" about a mile east of Hawksville. During the past seven years she had been a great sufferer, and for some two months past has been gradually getting worse but not until a few days back were hopes of her recovery given up. Death comes as a relief. Mrs. Peterson's life was a living example of what a Christian may be. To the motherless she was a mother, to the stranger a friend, to the troubled a comforter. Her heart was ever open to the cry of the needy. Blessings followed wherever she went. She leaves a sorrowing family and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Her remains were interred in the cemetery at Hawksville on Sabbath when friends from far and near came to pay their last tribute to the departed. Rev. Showers of the U. B. Church of which Mrs. Peterson was a member, preached an able sermon paying glowing tribute to the moral worth of such a character.

      The stricken husband and family have the sincerest sympathy of their many friends.
