Death of Mary Bearce
The death of Mrs. Mary Bearce on Tuesday morning last, brought sadness to the hearts of many Waukon people who had known her for so many years, says the Democrat. She had been in failing health the past year with heart trouble, and only a few weeks ago returned to her own home after spending the winter with her sister, Mrs. I.E. Beeman. Last week she contracted a cold which was accompanied by a severe cough, which caused the weakened heart to cease at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday, June 5, 1928. Deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hall and was born near Evansville, Ind. Sept. 4, 1852. She was 76 years old.
