Mrs. William Peppers died at her home in this village on Sunday morning at
2 o'clock, after a few days illness, of pneumonia. 

Elizabeth Furst was born at Andalusia, Rock Island County, Illinois, on
February 22, 1869, and while yet a young girl her parents moved to
Muscatine, Iowa, to reside, where she grew to womanhood. Deceased was
united in marriage with Wm. Peppers on Feb. 11th, 1892, at Buffalo Prairie,
Ill., and they resided at Muscatine, until April 1912, when they came to
this village to reside. To Mr. and Mrs. Peppers three children were born:
John Jacob, Elsie May and Hazel Marie. She is also survived by three
sisters and one brother, Mrs. W. C. Krueger of Muscatine, Mrs. Guy Taylor
of Illinois City, Miss Julia Furst of this village, and one brother, John
Furst of Illinois City. 

Mrs. Peppers was a quiet, retiring disposition, finding in her home and
children her greatest happiness. During her brief residence here, she
gained and held the respect and esteem of all who enjoyed her acquaintance.
To the sorrowing family and other relatives the sympathy of all goes out in
their hour of bereavement. 

Short funeral services were held at the home Tuesday at 1 o'clock,
conducted by Rev. Day. The remains accompanied by her husband and son were
taken to Illinois City Tuesday afternoon, where funeral services were held
Wednesday afternoon and the interment took place.
