DEATH OF AN OCTOGENARIAN.
Mrs. Nancy Drake Scudder Lays Down Her Burden.
Mrs. Scudder, the venerable mother of Judge N. W. Scudder of this city, died early Saturday morning at the residence of her son, where she has been continuously confined to her bed ever since the death of her daughter, Mrs. McNabb, more than a year ago.
She had attained the ripe age of 81 years, having been born in the city of New York in 1814. She had not been a sufferer, and passed away unconsciously without pain, having been gradually declining for the past year.
She was one of the early settlers in Petaluma, but removed to Green valley many years ago and remained there until the death of her husband. J. C. Scudder, and since that time has been living with her children, of whom there are but two left, Judge Scudder of this city and J. S. Scudder of Sebastopol. She has a husband, three daughters and two sons who met her Saturday morning on the other shore, with outstretched arms, in love and kindness, to welcome her to her home.
The father of the deceased was a direct descendant of Sir Francis Drake, who landed on the shores of Marin county, and on the second Sunday in July, 1579, held the first religions services of the Episcopal church in America at Drake's bay—now known as Bolinas.—Petaluma Argus.
