Death of Mrs. James Penick
Only six days after the death of her husband James Penick, occurred the death of the aged companion Mrs. Frances E. Penick, at her home in Des Moines on Thursday, May 28, 1914, aged seventy years, ten months and twenty days. Frances Elizabeth Gish was born in Ohio July 8th 1844, and came to Eddyville when twelve years of age. She was married to James Penick September 18, 1862. Nine children were born to this union, three of whom, with the husband, preceded her in death. The living children are Mrs. O.C. Palmer of Albia, Mrs. M. L. Bassinger, Mrs. G.C. Anderson and Miss Neva of Des Moines, John Penick and Mrs. Ida Fry of Eddyville. She remained in Eddyville until nine years ago when she moved to Oskaloosa, and later to Des Moines where she lived until her death. The remains were brought to Eddyville on the afternoon train on the Rock Island Friday, and funeral services were held from the home of Mrs. A. Caldwell, the funeral sermon being delivered by the Congregational pastor Rev. J. L. Jones. There were many floral offerings to attest the esteem in which this former Eddyville resident was held. The remains were laid to rest by the side of the new made grave of the husband in Highland Cemetery.
