Mrs. Elizabeth Trimmer, member of an early pioneer family of Alpine county, died Saturday morning in Carson-Tahoe Hospital after a lengthy illness.

Mrs. Trimmer was born December 17, 1869, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Vallem. She lived at the family home in Wade Valley until 1894 when she married Robert A.

After their marriage, the couple lived in Santa Barbara, Calif., for a time. They returned to Diamond Valley and purchased the family property from his father. In 1909 they sold it and after traveling, bought the oldest ranch in Nevada from Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Frey in Genoa, where they have lived since.
