PIONEER WOMAN
IS CALLED TO THE LAST SLEEP

Mrs. Jennie See, wife of Clay See,
died early Monday morning at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. c. B.
Peyton, in Riverview. Dropsy, with
which she had been afflicted for sever
al years, was the cause of death.
Funeral services we're conducted at
the home by Rev. w. d. Lear of Cor
Wallis. Friends of the family gather
ed and large concourse of people
followed the remains to the last rest
ing place in Corvallis cemetery.
Mrs See is survived by her husband,
"Tip" See, son, John W. See, and a
daughter, Mrs. C. B. Peyton, wife of
the late Deputy Game Warden Peyton,
and other relatives. She was born in
Monroe county, Mo-, in 1874. She was
resident of the Bitter Root valley
for twenty-five years, residing on a
farm on Sleeping Child. There is a
marked friendship existing among all
the pioneers of the valley, and to these
and many others her death will bring
deep regret.
