PETERSON

Died, at St. Francis hospital at Wichita, last night, April 14, Miss Blanche 
Edith Peterson, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Peterson, of heart 
disease at the age of 22 years. She was born in Osage county, Kan., and came 
to El Dorado with her parents while quite young. She was educated in the 
public schools here and has studied vocal and instrumental music here and in 
Topeka. She had considerable talent in both accomplishments. Miss Blanche had 
gone to Wichita to take a course in a training school for nurses, full of life 
of anticipation, of hope, when suddenly came an end to all earthly ambitions, 
joys and sorrows. The blow is a terrible one to her parents, who have the 
warmest sympathy of this community. Her body was brought from Wichita at 10:00 
a.m. today. The funeral occurs from the family home on Second avenue at 10:00 
a.m. Monday.
Claf Peterson, father of Fred Peterson and Mrs. Ida Strombarg of Osage City, 
are here to attend the funeral of Miss Blanche Peterson.

The funeral of Miss Blanche Peterson occurred Sunday afternoon, April 17, from 
the family home and was quite largely attended. Flowers in profusion bore mute 
testimony to the regard in which the deceased was held by friends here and of 
the sympathy of many for the bereaved family. A floral pillow was the offering 
of one El Dorado Modern Woodmen and beautiful flowers were sent by Dr. Scullin 
and the nurses of Wichita hospital and by an aunt in Kansas City. Rev. George 
Harkness spoke words of hope and consolation for those left here, those on the 
other shore need neither.
