Death of Mrs. McPherrin

Mrs. Margaret McPherrin, one of the earlier settlers of Jackson township, died at her home two miles north of Pitzer on last Friday afternoon at the age of eighty six years. Mrs. McPherrin had been an invalid for some time and her death was hastened by injuries sustained in falling from her bed a short time ago.

Funeral services were conducted at the Pitzer U.P. church on Sunday afternoon.
