The sad news reached Dayton Monday of the death of Mrs. Hulda Ward, a sister of Mrs. C.V. Peterson, of this place at her home near Willard, New Mexico, who passed away last Saturday noon, aged 62 years, 3 months, 6 days.

A few months later she came with her husband to this vicinity, where she lived, with the exception of a few years spent in Minnesota, until her removal to Roswell, New Mexico, in 1903. A year ago last March she removed to Willard, New Mexico, where she had entered a homestead, upon which she still lived at her death. She was the mother of seven children, a son having passed away before her a number of years ago, while six daughters survive to mourn her loss.
