Peth Funeral to be Sunday-Last rites for George Peth, well-known former Skagit rancher, will be held at two o’clock Sunday afternoon in Light Chapel with the local I.O.O.F. lodge in charge of the services, both in the chapel and at the gravesite. Mr. Peth leaned to the Congregational belief and as there is not a minister of that denomination here, his lodge officiated at the burial service.
Born in Wisconsin on June 19th, 1856, Peth’s childhood and boyhood were passed in that state. Early in his boyhood, he learned the harness trade. In 1880, he moved to Nebraska, where he established a harness shop, continuing with the business until he came to Skagit County in 1889.
He was united in marriage to Miss Mary E. Koenig in Nebraska in 1882.
In the fall of 1889, George Peth accompanied by his son Walter, located on the John Peth ranch where they remained for a year, then went to the old Lee Bradley ranch where the father and son remained until 1916. Then the elder Peth moved to Seattle, and Walter continued to farm the Bradley place until last fall.
George Peth retired from active farming and settled with his family in his Seattle home where he lived until his passing on Wednesday at the age of seventy-one years.
All his Skagit county relatives were at his bedside when the end came after only a few days illness. He recognized and conversed with them up till a few moments before he breathed his last.
Surviving members of his immediate family are the widow, two sons, Walter of Mount Vernon, and Leroy of Bay View, two daughters, Mrs. Pearl p. Storrs and Mrs. Lissetta Harrington, both of Seattle and four sisters, Mrs. Andrew Burg of Malene, Wisconsin, Mrs. Delia S. Burg and Mrs. Helen Peth Marihugh of Bethesda, Ohio, and Mrs. Laura Dittmar of Portland Oregon.
