HINTON: (From the Gazette)

Last Sunday morning on his return from church, Wm. Peron discovered his wife
dead. He had been gone but little over an hour, leaving her feeling not much
worse than usual, though she was a sufferer from heart disease and diabetes.
Painlessly she passed away with no time to say, “Goodbye.” In the presence
of such a sorrow as this, how cold and impotent are words, and how doubly
deep would be the grief over the grave did not the rainbow of Christian hope
span the dark gulf between life and eternity, inspire the belief that there
is a better world beyond. Who that were present at the anniversary of the
golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Peron on November 13, 1911, when all was joy,
thought that the next gathering would be a final one, so far as the deceased
was concerned. But such is life; sunshine and shadow; smiles and tears. But
we must drawn to the curtain. A fond wife, a good mother, a kind friend, a
Christian and esteemed woman rests in peace. Mrs. Peron, whose maiden name
was Franklin, was born in Cassopolis, Mich.; left there at the age of seven,
came to Hartley, Iowa, and thence to Manchester in 1870; came to Plymouth
county in 1876. A husband and eight children are left. The funeral services
were held in the Methodist church on the Wednesday following the death, Rev.
Hawke officiating.

FAMILY NOTE: "Will" and Mary Jane Franklin were married November 13, 1861, in Manchester, Iowa.
