Mrs. Pearson leaves one son, Leon Pearson, and three daughters, Mrs. Florence Craig, Mrs. Nellie Dooley and Miss Grace Pearson to mourn her loss.

Mrs. Pearson was 58 years of age and was highly esteemed. There was a very large funeral, many being in attendance from the vicinity of her old home near Pittsburg. The interment was in the Pittsburg cemetery.

The floral offerings were very beautiful, one being a pillow of smilax with the word "Mother" in small white buds. The grave was also beautifully decorated. There were 62 carriages in the procession to the last resting place of the beloved dead.
