Mrs. PEEBLER was in her usual health up to the Friday night before her death, when she was suddenly taken with a pain in her side…..From the first she seemed to know that death would relieve her.

On January 31, 1861, she was united in marriage with Ellis H. PEEBLER. This union was blessed with eleven children, three of whom preceded her to the spirit world.
