THE NEWS received a letter this morning from Mrs. E. L. McCabe of Conrath, Wisconsin, in which are given additional facts in the obituary of her mother, Mrs. George W. Dewey, who was buried in Toulon cemetery Thursday afternoon. The letter was received too late to make the suggested changes and additions in the account of Mrs. Dewey's life, which is given on page 3 of this issue.
Mrs. Dewey was born in Pitcairn, New York, instead of Carthage. While yet a little girl, her parents came to Illinois, settling in Oneida and afterwards moving to Galesburg. Her marriage to George W. Dewey was solemnized by Rev. William Watson, at one-time pastor of the Toulon M. E. church. All of her married life was spent in Toulon and vicinity, and when Mr. Dewey died in 1907 she went with her son to North Dakota and in 1910 went farther west to the state of Washington. In early life she was a member of a Baptist church, but when she came to Toulon she put her membership in the Congregational church and later transferred to Mt. View Congregational church at Tonasket, Washington.
