Oct 29, 1914 - Palo Alto Reporter - Tuesday night between ten and eleven o'clock occurred the death of Mrs. Wm. Dick-Peddie. Her illness dates back for a number of years, but during the year previous to her death her health had been some better and it was hoped that she would gradually recover her full physical vigor. About a week ago she was seemingly taken with a severe headache and Friday evening she sank into a deep sleep from which she never awakened, but slowly during it her life ebbed away. Her daughter, Mrs. Rose Bright, was sent for but she did not arrive until the morning after the death of her mother.
The deceased maiden name was Alice Barbee McGrorty, and she was born in Danville, Kentucky. Dec. 1, 1860. She grew to young womanhood in her native state and received a liberal education. Her sister, Mrs. A.L. Ormsby, resided in Emmetsburg and she frequently came to visit her. It was here that she met Mr. William Dick-Peddie and on the 11th day of November 1886, they were married in Danville, Ky.
Following their marriage they came to Emmetsburg to reside, and aside from one year and a half the greater share of which was spent abroad, they have resided in this city. During her life in Emmetsburg, Mrs. Dick-Peddie identified herself with the interests of Emmetsburg and in every way possible did what she could for the social betterment of the town and community. She was a member of the W.R.C. of this city, and took an active part in it until failing health compelled her to desist from this activity. However she never lost her interest in the organization and when able was to be found at its meetings. She was a member of the Friday Club, and active in the work here until her health failed.
The work that she took the greatest pride in was the organization of what was called Company L.T. This was a company of boys and the object that she had was training the boys in patriotism and in all that tends for a strong, vigorous boyhood and manhood. In entertainments given by this company of boys her good work was plainly manifested.
She was the mother of five children, two boys and three girls. The daughters are: Mrs. Rose Bright, of Frankfort, Ky., Misses Daisy and Everlea Dick-Peddie, and William and Walter. Besides these children and her husband the immediate relatives surviving her are her aged father, Capt. A.S. McGrorty, of Danville, Ky., the latter being 97 years o!d, and her two sisters, Mrs. A.L. Ormsby, of Florence, Italy, and Mrs. Bryce, of Ashland, Ohio. The latter was here to attend the funeral.
These certainlv have the sympathyof all in their deep sorrow. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon from the house at 1:30 o'clock and from Trinity church at 2:00 p.m. The services will be in charge of the rector of the Episcopal church of EstherviMe.
