with Mr. Perry in 1860. They
came from Waverley, Iowa, to Cherokee
in 1871 and settled on a farm in
Alton township, where they resided until
a year or so ago, when they moved to
the city. Besides her husband the deceased
leaves a son and two daughters
to mourn. The marriage of the youngest
daughter to Mr, Frank N. Phipps
took place on Wednesday last. Much
sympathy will go out to the husband
and father in his time of sore affliction.
