Death of Mrs. W. H. See

Mrs. W. H. See, elderly resident of the Peru community, died at her home in that town last Saturday at the advanced age of 77 years. She had been an invalid since suffering a stroke two years ago.

Mrs. See was the former Florence Almira Emerson, and was born September 11, 1858, in Wayne county, Indiana, the daughter of Winthrop Milton and Elizabeth Jane Emerson. At the age of two years she came with her parents to Iowa, locating on a farm in Madison county.

On April 13, 1876, she was married to W. H. See, at the home of her parents, in Leon. They were the parents of four children, all of whom survive their mother. Mrs. See was a member of the Christian church.

She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Venecia Ruth of Winterset and Mrs. Mabel Ransom of Blairstown; two sons, Homer and Burl See of Peru; two brothers, N. B. Emerson of Glendale, California, and O. R. Emerson of Belleville, Kansas; two sisters, Mrs. Elias Jones and Mrs. Cora Cone of Long Beach, California, nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren.

Funeral services were conducted Tuesday from the Methodist church in Peru in charge of the Rev. H. L. Olmstead, pastor of the Church of Christ in Winterset.
