Pettycrew was born in the state of New York Sept. 6 , 1852. Two years later her parents moved to Illinois and in 1867 to Iowa. From there the family moved to Cherry county , Nebr. , in 1885 where she has since resided , the last eight years in Val entine. She was married to David E. Ajikeny and to this union was born John C. Ankeny , now living in Pa. She was again married to W. E. Pettycrew , and to this union were born Archie D. , Inez A. and Floyd M. , all of whom survive her as also her son in Pa , a sister jNIrs. J. E. Pettycrew of this city and a brother. Mr. Pettycrew had taken the train for Hot Springs Wednesday night of last week in response to a telegram from Dr. Ferguson that she was very ill and while on the train received another stating that she had passed away. He brought her home , starting from Hot Springs Thursday night , reaching here Friday morning and the f un- ; ral was held at the M. E. church , onducted by Eev. C. W. Ray as sisted-by the S. & D. of P. , D. of H. and Eebeckah lodges , Friday afternoon at 3 o' clock. The church was filled with people and a long train of carriages followed to Mount Hope cemetery where we laid her away. Words cannot speak the grief of that solemn hour when her relatives and friends stood beside her for the last time on earth. Mrs. Pettycrew had enjoyed good health until a few years ago when she Became an invalid and though she had gone back east to visit her son last year in the hope of regain ing her health and had for the past two or three months been at the Siloam Sanitarium at Hot Springs under the care of Dr. Ferguson where she thought she was improv ing in health and was counting the days until the end of the course of treatment when she expected to return home. Mr. Pettycrew had written her that he would be there to bring her home the following Sunday. Though it was generally thought thatMrs. Pcttycrew's time on earth was not long , her death was a shock and a surprise to everyone just at this time when she was thought to be getting along so well. A friend to the family at Hot Spring writes of Mrs. Pettycrew , 1 'She was the life of the place where she was staying , so jolly , so full of fun and so ready to do all that she could socially that none of .them supposed that she suffered very much , yet she often told them she was so homesick and longed to be it Valentine again. " ( She wrote a very cheerful letter to her daugh ter Wednesday before she took sick in the afternoon which was re ceived Thursday morning after her ileath. ) "After eating a hearty : linner she was sitting on the front steps at two o'clock waiting for } he hack to go up town but sudden ly became dizzy. They carried ler to her room and worked over ler faithfully until 9:30 : p. m. when she died. I am sure that they did ill they could to relieve her for she seemed to be the favorite of all /here / and all mourn her death. " Indeed she was a favorite of all , vho knew her , and no words could speak more of truth than , "None mew her but to love her. " Gen- ile , loving , kind and always a lady n life beautiful in death. L. L.
