Biography

EUGENE CITY GUARD, 19 Dec 1891, p 5:col 1; (p 5 dated 12 Dec 1891) Mabel Murmuring - ... Mrs. Pike died at an advanced age, at the home of Mr. Arnold, her son-in-law, Monday night of last week. Deceased had been an invalid for several years, and during her last illness she was almost devoid of reason. The remains were interred in the Isabel graveyard Tuesday. Thus the old land marks are falling and ere a few more years those who viewed Oregon as a vast wilderness will have passed to that land where the inhabitants never say, "I am sick," and where the ties severed on earth are reunited again.
