CALLED TO HER REST
The Sad Death of Mrs. Mary E. McNabb.
A SKETCH OF HER LIFE.
It is a Community's Loss—Funeral Tomorrow Afternoon at One O'clock.
Saturday morning at twenty minutes after three o'clock the death of Mrs. Mary E. McNabb occurred at the family residence on Main near Bridge street. The end came after she had suffered from an intestinal inflammation for several weeks. From this illness bright hopes were entertained for her recovery, and no person was prepared to hear the worst until one short day before; but as life's spark grew dimmer and dimmer through the night, all those who were near and dear to her gathered around the bedside, and in their presence it came.
A brief sketch of this noble woman's life is as follows: Mary E. McNabb was born in Morristown, New Jersey, on the 23rd of January, 1839. She was the daughter of Jacob Shudder, deceased, and Nancy B. Scudder who at an advanced age still lives in this city, and the sister of Judge N. W. Scudder of this city and Jacoh Scudder Jr. of Sebastopol, and two sisters and a brother who, 'ere this, have crossed over the dark river. In 1856 she moved to California and settled in Quincy, Plumas county where in 1859 she married James H. McNabb. A year later Mr. and Mrs. McNabb came to Petaluma, which city has been their principal residence ever since. Six children have been born to them, and of these five survive the mother. Mr. McNabb, the husband, is a newspaper writer of well-known ability; he has held numerous public offices of trust, and is now the postmaster of Petaluma. The life of deceased was unmarked with event, but it can well be said of her that she was a loving wife and a kind and independent mother and most laudable woman whose loss will be hard to bear by a host of friends. The sympathy of the community has been extended to the bereaved ones in these sad hours.
It has been arranged to have the funeral from the family residence tomorrow (Monday) at one o'clock in the afternoon. The interment will be made in the Cypress Hill cemetery.
