Death claimed Mrs. Perry, wife of Sol Perry, a resident of Plymouth
county for forty-four years, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. L.D.

pioneers of that section. She grew to young womanhood in her native

successfully for many years, moving to LeMars in 1916 to make their
home.
Mrs. Perry began ailing in health about two years ago and last December
was taken to Rochester, Minn. After an operation she seemed to really
for a time but later her condition became less and less favorable.

years.
