MRS. F. H. PEAVEY DEAD
The Summons Came Saturday After.
noon at Her Home.

Mrs. Frank H. Peavey passed away Sat
urday afternoon at o'clock at her resi-
dence 2119 Park avenue. Since the death |
of her husband, Dec. 80, 1901, Mrs. Peavey |
has been in poor health and spirits, and |
sank gradually away for months. She |
was attended by Mrs. E. A. Thompson a |
Christian Science healer -
In the death of Mrs. Peavey the commu-
nifty loses one whose character knew 70
ostentation or prejudice, whose innate
kindness of heart made her silent but
powerful factor for good. In the home
she was an ideal mother and helpneet,
and until saddened by the untimely death
of her husband she beamed cheer and
helpfulness on all who came in contact
with her. In the words of one who has
known her for many years:
"She gave because she loved to give;
because sheNloved to be kind and because
her heart was touched to pity and mercy
by the needs Of the unfortunate and OPP
pressed. Every hour of her life after she
reached the age to know duty and the
inspiration of love, whether as to parent
brother, sister, husband and children or
grandchildren, she helped to make every
home Of which she was part full Of
cheer, kindness and unselfsh affection.
ITO such family, such a memory of SO
grand life brings at this hour, when
the shadows of grief are so deep, the SOL
| ace of sweet consolation; and it will con-
| t1nue, and be ever present in all the years
to come-blessing and guiding them for
ever" .. ~ .'.-,
