LAS VEGAS AGE
1/29/1916

PIONEER WOMAN GONE

    Mrs. Mary A. BISHOP, who died on the 20th in Los Angeles at the age 
of 83, was born at Jamestown, N.Y. and went to Minnesota in 1871, moving
to Dakota in 1872.  She came to Nevada for the first time in 1897, 
spending some time at the Yount hotel at Goodsprings and at the Stewart
ranch in Vegas.  Afterwards, she took up land here and was one of our 
pioneer women.  For the past two years she has lived in Los Angeles and 
was buried there last Sunday in the Hollywood cemetery, the funeral 
being attended by many old Nevada friends.  Mrs. BISHOP, in spite of the 
many hardships incident to pioneer life, was a remarkably well preserved 
old lady--being able to read, write and thread her needle without 
glasses.  She is survived by three sons and one daughter; also 22 
grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
