The community of Ireton was called upon to mourn the death of Miss Cora E. Peebles, which occurred at Le Mars Monday. She was taken to the Sacred Heart Hospital at that place about two weeks ago.

Cora E. Peebles was born in Lewis County, New York, in the month of September, 1864, and died Monday evening, October 19, 1925, her age being approximately 61 years and one month. When she was a young girl she moved with her family to Wisconsin and when she was about 15 year old the family moved still further west and located in Iowa. The deceased spent 40 years of her life on a farm in Sioux County and the last six years she lived at Ireton.

Miss Peebles was one of a family of five, three boys and two girls. One brother and one sister preceded her in death. The whereabouts of one brother is unknown while Jay Peebles of Le Mars survived. The father of this family died at the age 71 years and the mother at the age of 85 years. While Miss Peebles was not affiliated with any church, she was of recent years an adherent and supporter of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Ireton.

Funeral services were held at two o’clock Wednesday afternoon from the Methodist Church, Reverend William P. Webb officiated. Interment was made in Pleasant Hill Cemetery.
