DEATH OF ANNA T. PETERSON

Thursday morning at about three o'clock at the home of her foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Christ Peterson*, south of town, Miss Anna Thorina Peterson quietly passed away to her final resting place. Typhoid fever was the cause of her death and was contracted from a brother whom she had helped nurse back to health. Her death came as a surprise as well as a shock to friends as she had been sick only about ten day. Miss Peterson was a bright, thoughtful, studious girl of about eighteen years and was loved by all who knew her. She graduated last June from the Gilbert public schools.

The funeral was conducted by Rev. Heimarck and the remains laid to rest in the Gilbert cemetery.

*SUBMITTER'S NOTE: Anna Thorena "Trena" Peterson was the daughter of Andrew Peterson and Taletta "Betsy" Olsen.
