Mrs. Pratt had resided in the home of Dr. and Mrs. A.J. Landis during eight years past. Last June she went to Berkeley to spend the summer, and later wen to San Francisco for a visit. One month ago she suffered a fracture of one of her hip bones by a fall, and she was permanently weakened by the shock.

They settled first in Colusa county and later moved to what is known as the Four Corners, a few mils above Chico. Mrs. Pratt’s husband practiced medicine here for several years. About 1870 he purchased 800 acres of land in Big Meadows and built a hotel at what is known as Prattville. He died in 1888, and four years later Mrs. Pratt made her home with Dr. and Mrs. Landis.
Mrs. Pratt was a lady of large acquaintanceship, and as great a circle of friends. She was a highly esteemed member of the Chico Presbyterian Church, in which she was an earnest worker for several years.
Five children survive her – Mrs. D.A. Haun and T.E. Pratt of Prattville, Mrs. C.J. Sommer and Mrs. A.J. Landis of Chico and Marion Pratt of San Francisco.
