Death of Miss Sarah E. Pence.

Peter Pence of this city received the sad news last Saturday of the death of 
his sister, Miss Sarah E. Pence, in Pittsburg, Pa.  Miss Pence was known to a 
number of Payette people, who will learn of her death with deep regret, having 
spent some time visiting at the home of Mr. Pence a number of months ago.  Mr. 
Pence took his departure Saturday night for Pittsburg expecting to reach that 
city in time to attend the funeral of his sister.  The Pittsburg Times of May 
20 gives the following account of Miss Pence’s death:

Miss Sarah E. Pence, widely known in Pittsburg religious, philanthropic and 
business circles, died last night at Mercy hospital.  Miss Pence was one of the 
most active members of the Central Young Women’s Christian association, of 
Pittsburg and Allegheny, of which she had been president for several terms.  
She was a sustaining member of the association and, in addition to serving as 
president, was chairman of the executive and finance committees.  She was an 
ardent advocate of the project for the erection of a new home for the 
association, and did much individual work toward raising a fund for that 
purpose, speaking at meetings of business men and visiting them personally in 
behalf of the work.  Miss Pence was an almost daily visitor to the association 
rooms on Fifth street, and was very popular with the members at large, as well 
as with the other officers and members of committees.

Miss Pence was about 55 years of age.  She had been at the hospital since May 
13, and had undergone an operation.  She was a member of the dressmaking firm 
of Pence & Irwin, 437 Penn avenue, and made her home there.
