OBITUARY.

Lizzie A. Peckham was horn in
Howard Co., Iowa, Feb. 10, 1861, and
died after short illness at he hom.
of her father where she had gone 10
to assist in caring for sick brother
on March 6, 1899.
She attended school in the home
district and in the public school of
Cresco until 16 years of age. The
following three were spent in teach
ing and in assisting an invalid
mother in the care of large family
and on May 81, 1880 she was united in
marriage with Albert L. Wallace re.
siding with him in the immediate
neighborhood of her girlhocd home
until the time of her death. Six chill
dren were born to them, two of
whom died in infancy, one, little
Leonard at the age of four years. She
leaves her husband. one daughter,
Marion, and two baby boys, Ronald,
Earl and Albert Lowell, one sister,
four brothers and an aged father to
finish life's journey without her
loving counsel and the sunshine Of
her presence.
Her whole life spent among the
open book that all who chose might
read. She was dutiful daughter,
loving sister, the noblest of wives,
the most self-sacrifcing of mothers,
the rruest of friends, faithful in every
relation of life,
May the great Lord of the universe
look down in tender pity upon her
helpless little ones guiding their feet
in the same path of rectitude which
she has followed. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. John
Gammons her former pastor. She
had been a faithful member of the
NJ. E. church for twenty years. Her
body rests in beautiful Oak Lawn
Cemetery,
