MRS. MARGARET PETERS

On Nov. 5 at 2:00 p. m. funeral services were held at the Grace Mennonite Church at Dallas, Ore. for Mrs. Margaret Peters, with Rev. John Franz officiating.

She passed away at her home at 1206 Cherry St. Nov. 2 at 4 p. m. while working in her yard. She suffered a stroke and was found by her granddaughter, Darlene Toews. It was her desire that she might not have a long illness, and God granted it to her.

She had lived in Dallas the past 22 years. Her husband, John H. Peters, passed away in 1950.

Mrs. Peters was born in Russia Nov. 23, 1887, daughter of John and Lena Rogalsky. She married John H. Peters Feb. 13, 1912, at Hydro, Okla. They had lived in Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas before coming to Dallas in 1935.

Surviving are a son, John Peters of Dallas; five daughters, Margaret Simpson of Prineville, Ore., Helen Balzer of Dallas, Betty Quiring of Frazer, Mont., Leona Wilson of Portland, Ore., and Martha Schmidt of Sheridan, Ore.; 23 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

She was a faithful member of the Grace Mennonite Church. She was especially active in the Missionary Circle, where she was a good quilter, and it was her delight to help sew for relief. — The Family.
