died near Los Angeles, California, January 12,1916, aged 34 years and 29 days.
When ten years of age she came to Kelso with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan
Pea, arriving here May 17, 1891. After residing here for three years the family
moved to Ariel on the Lewis river in July, 1894, and her parents continue to
make their home at that place.  They were among the early settlers in that
community.  In April 1902 she married C.A. Taylor at Kelso, and she made her
home here continuously until about two years ago, when Mr. Taylor disposed of
his local intrests and moved onto a farm near Cascade Locks, Oregon.  Recently
the family moved to Oregon city, Oregon.  Mrs. Taylor went to California about a
month ago and it was near Los Angeles that the end came.

daughter to mourn her untimely demise.  These are Ethel, Alfred, Dorothy, Earl,
Martha, Donald and Nellie.  Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Pea of Aried; four
sisters, Mrs. C.W. Eaton or Ariel, Mrs. Charles Hartsock of Oregon City, Mrs.
E.G. Stallcop of Lebam and Mrs. F.M. Stallcop of this place; four brothers,

to mourn her loss.  Her kind and affectionate presence will be greatly missed by
the large family circle and by her many intimate friends in this community.
