MRS. PICKERING PASSES AWAY.
At John Warner Hospital Sunday Morning—
Had Been Ill for Sometime.
The death of Mrs. A. R. PICKERING occurred Sunday morning at 3:20 o'clock at the John Warner hospital, where she had been taken just one week ago today for treatment. Her death was due to complication of diseases with which she had been a patient sufferer for many years.
Mrs. Pickering’s maiden name was Percilla BAKER and she was the daughter of Thomas L. and Lucy BAKER. She was born in the state of Ohio on the 29th of August, 1839, being almost seventy-seven years of age. She lived in Ohio until she was nine years old when she came with her parents to Illinois. They made the trip overland in wagons, the country then being little more than a prairie. They settled on a farm near where the town of Martinsville is now located. She received a good school education and taught school in the vicinity of Martinsville for about twenty years.
Her marriage to Mr. Pickering took place on Dec. 23, 1867. They continued to make their home near Martinsville for several years after their marriage when they moved to Clinton, where they have since resided, their present home being at 521 East Macon street.
Mrs. Pickering united with the Methodist church when but a small child and has been an earnest worker in the church all her life.
She is survived by her husband, four brothers and three sisters. They are as follows: George BAKER, Nelson BAKER and William BAKER, of Martinsville; Byron BAKER, of Guero, Okla.; Mrs. Elvira SWOPE, Martinsville; Mrs. Nancy FORTNEY, Annapolis, Ill.; and Mrs. Rebecca SLUSSER, of Casey, Ill.
No funeral arrangements have been made.
