Death of "Grandma" Prosser Thomas Prosser sends the HERALD the following from the Pitkin (Garrison county, Colo) Miner, in reference to the death of his wife, formerly Mrs Cary Pearson of this city:

"The community received the news of the death of Mrs Nancy Prosser--known to all as "Grandma" Prosser -- with sorrow. She passed quielty away yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, having suffered for a number of months with cancer. She was about 68 years of age, having been born in Baxter county, Virginia, in 1834. At the age of eight she moved to Monroe county, Iowa, with her parents, J.C. Boggs and wife, who were prominent pioneers of the state. The deceased was married in 1854 to Cary Pearson, who was killed in the mines in 1869. Eight children was the result of this union, three of whom are residents of this place--J.F. and Wm Pearson and Mrs S. Van Pelt, who, with nearly forty grandchildren and many great-grandchildren, mourn her demise. Mrs Pearson was married again in 1875 to Thomas Prosser, of Clarinda, Iowa, who has patiently watched at her bedside during her sickness. Grandma Prosser was a true Christian, having acknowledged the faith when a young woman. She bore her great suffering with a fortitude characteristic of all who believe that "everything is for the best."
