Penney, nationally known merchant, died Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock at Miami, Fla, according to a telegram received yesterday by relatives in this city. The cause of her death was not given but her illness is believed to have been sudden and unexpected, as no previous intimation had been received at Salt Lake.
Mr. Penney, who was with his wife at the time of her demise, is taking the body to their home at White Plaines, N. Y., for funeral service and interment, to be held Monday forenoon at 10 o'clock.
Mary Kimball Penney, popularly and affectionately known to her many friends as "Mate” was married to Mr. Penney about four years ago, just after she had returned from France, where she was one of the most active and zealous war works in behalf of the boys "over there." A rich woman in her own right, having inherited a fortune made in Park City mines, she paid all her expenses while abroad and in addition contributed largely to the American cause.
Mrs. Penney is survived by her husband and one son, Kimball, aged 1 1/2 years.
