Died.

Peters – At her home near Baldwin, Iowa, on the 10th ult., Mrs. Mary Peters, beloved wife of C. C. Peters, aged 38 years, 2 months, and 2 days.
Mary Hunter was born February 17, 1846, in Winnebago Co., Ill., and was married at Millrock, Jackson Co., Iowa, to C. C. Peters, January 28, 1875. She leaves in great sorrow her husband, two brothers, and three daughters. The latter are not old enough to realize the loss of a mother – in fact, who can do so fully? Thus another patient toiler has been gathered to the quiet rest of the grave, having met and affectionately honored the relationships of daughter, sister, wife, and mother. A large company gathered at the family residence and in tearful sorrow “looked up” for lessons, instruction, comfort, and grace. Her remains were laid away in the Buckhorn cemetery.
