Died - Mrs. John G. Peppard, Wednesday, November 6, 1907 in Tonkawa Okla.
Miss Pricella Summers was born in Wayne county, Ohio, September 6, 1848. She was left an orphan when only a small girl. She made her home with an aunt until grown.
On March 29, 1873, she was married to John G. Peppard at Burbank, Ohio. To this union six children were born, three of them preceding their mother to the grave.
Soon after her marriage she moved with her husband to Iowa. Remaining there a short time, they moved to Kansas in 1874 where they remained one year, returning to Winterset, Iowa, in 1875 where they lived until 1899 when she moved to Ponca City, Okla., and the following year moved to Tonkawa.
She united with the Lutheran church when a young woman and died with the blessed assurance of a better life where the pain and cares of this world are known no more. She was a faithful wife a kind and indulgent mother and a true friend to all who knew her, never thinking of self but always ready to assist one who was in need.
She leaves a husband, John G. Peppard; one son, Harry Peppard, of Wichita, Kas.; and two daughters, Mrs. Mabel Muir of Denver, Col., and Mrs. J. A. Jones of Tonkawa.
The funeral was held at the residence of Dr. Jones, Thursday at 10:30 a. m., conducted by Rev Irwin.
