"Mortuary -- Mrs. Mary Hayden --

Mrs. Mary Hayden, an old settler and valued citizen of our town, passed from this life Friday morning, Sept. 2nd, at her home.

Funeral services were held Monday. Interment in the Peru cemetery.

Mary Elizabeth Emerson was born in Lee county, Iowa, Oct. 21, 1848 and died at the age of 72 years, 10 months and 19 days. She was united in marriage to Hayes Hayden, April 8, 1869. To this union three children were born, one dying infancy, and Mrs. Viola Kirk of Dodge, N.D., and Edmond Hayden of Golden Valley, N.D. The father died Oct. 25, 1898.

She united with the M. E. church at the Reager school house at the age of 14 years, and has remained a faithful member all her life. She will be missed, as her smiling face was always seen on Sunday in her pew at the church.
