McGregor, Clayton co. Iowa
July 17, 1867
Died. At Hardin, on Tuesday, July 9th, Maria
Pearson, wife of Geo. W. Pearson. Her illness was very brief; her
age 36. The deceased was one of the most estimable of women. A
lady friend who gave us information as to her death, was very
eulogistic in her praise. Mrs. Pearson was a member of the
Congregational Church at Carnavillo, and a model in all the
relations of life -- wife, mother and neighbor. She leaves three
children to bear the storms of life without the tender care of
that best of all persons -- a mother.
