Argus – Week of July 28, 1883 Mrs. M. J. Penn A shadow of gloom was spread over our town on last Wednesday morning buy the death of Mrs. M. J. Penn, which occurred at 4 o’clock. Mrs. Penn had been suffering for several weeks from fever, but as she had been improving since the first attack, her death was unexpected. She bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude and without a murmur, and finally met death with a smile, saying among her last words, “Up! Up higher! Sweet home!” As a wife, mother, neighbor and friend, Mrs. Penn was all of that, and more, she was a good and true Christian, having been a member of the Methodist church for over sixteen years. She leaves a devoted husband and three children to mourn her loss. May He who tempers the winds to the shorn lambs, temper this sore affliction of the bereaved ones.
