FORMER PERU WOMAN DIES

Mrs. Joseph C. Dearborn Passes Away at Her Home in New Hampshire

Mrs. Millie J. McKenney received last week the sad message telling of the death on Thursday, May 1, of her only sister, Mrs. Joseph C. Dearborn, at their home in Deerfield, N.H.

Mrs. Dearborn will be remembered in this community as Mary Evelyn Pollard. She was born July 17, 1854, at Kalamazoo, Mich., and was aged 74 years, nine months and fourteen days at the time of her death. She came to Nebraska with her parents in April, 1868, and attended school at Peru until her marriage.

She was married to Joseph C. Dearborn, on November 14, 1875. Mr. Dearborn had been a resident of this place for several years, but upon their marriage they went at once to New Hampshire, which has since been their home. She came back to Peru when her father, Samuel Pollard died in 1881.

Mrs. Dearborn is survived by her aged husband, and a daughter, Miss Grace Dearborn, who is at home, a sister, Mrs. Millie McKenney of Peru, and two nieces, the daughters of Mrs. McKenney.
