Mrs. Mary Pecoy, wife of S. Pecoy, passed away early Monday morning at her home in First ward, aged 80 years. Funeral services were held at the home on Wednesday, conducted by Rev. L. E. Grabau, of Bonair. Burial was in the New Oregon cemetery.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows she was born Nov. 13, 1837 and died Jan. 17, 1918. This is in error since this was posted in June.

OBITUARY

PECOY.

Mary Frances Aldrich was born in North Adams, Massachusetts, November 13, 1837. She was a daughter of Amias and Caroline Aldrich, old settlers in Dundee Township, Illinois, and was the first white child in that part of the state. She was united in marriage with Stephen Pecoy, January 1, 1858, and died in Cresco, Iowa, June 17, 1918.

With hands so gently placed

Across her pulseless breast,

She is home and sweetly

Sleeping in her Eternal Rest.

Her life, as pure and lovely

As the dew drop’s sparkling ray,

Has gone from our home forever

And as silently passed away.
