Laura E. Peckham, widow of Fredrick A. Peckham, died about 11 o'clock Friday morning at her home in Poplar Ridge. Mrs. Peckham had been ill for some time. About a year ago Mrs. Peckham had a shock from which she never fully recovered. She was able to walk with assistance until a few weeks ago and has been gradually failing. About two weeks ago she became very ill suffering intensely until death released her. It was said the immediate cause of her death was paralysis. She was about 73 years of age.

Mrs. Peckham had resided at Poplar Ridge for forty years or more. Mrs. Peckham came here about thirty-five years ago with her husband and children from the West and has many warm friends who will deeply regret her demise. Her husband, the late F. A. Peckham, conducted for many years the farm now owned by Gordon Montgomery, but retired from farming some years before his death and purchased a dwelling not far from the former farm home. Mrs. Peckham was a native of Delaware county, this state. Surviving are two children, Arthur Y. Peckham of Minneapolis, and Mrs. Byron Hitchcock of the town of Scipio.

Funeral services were held at the house, Monday afternoon, April 24, at 2 o'clock. Rev. Thomas Husk of Scipioville assisted Rev. W. J. Reagan, pastor of the Friends church, at the furneral service. Burial in King Ferry.
