Mrs. Margaret Penberthy, aged 72 years, most of which were spent in Dodgeville, passed away Sunday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Howard Rowe, where she had been staying since last fall, when her health failed.

They made their home on a farm near Adrian, Minnesota, where Mr. Penberthy died in 1881, leaving her with three small children. She remained on the farm three years, then moved with her children to Dodgeville, which has been her home ever since.
Since the death in 1919 of her daughter, Mrs. Margaret Jackson, leaving seven children, the youngest a boy of only two, she helped in the care of these children.
Mrs. Penberthy leaves one son and one daughter: Ernest Penberthy and Mrs. Mary Rowe, both of Dodgeville; also eleven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She is survived by two brothers and one sister; John Crook of Meadow Grove, Neb., and Robert and Mary Crook of Dodgeville.
