The TALES you probably never heard about

MARY ELIZA PEACOCK

[Welland Tribune, 1 October 1909]

The death occurred at Welland, on Thursday morning about 11 o’clock of Mary Eliza, wife of P.S. Peacock, a prominent contractor of Welland. The cause of Mrs. Peacock’s death was acute Bright’s disease and heart failure. Mrs. Peacock had not been in good health for some time and only a short while ago was very seriously ill. She, however, improved as to be able to be out of doors, but was taken worse again and removed to the hospital on Wednesday for an operation which was to have been performed yesterday morning. The operation, however, was never performed. Mrs. Peacock was taken worse during the night and death took place yesterday morning.

A wide circle of friends mourns Mrs. Peacock’s demise and the sympathy of all will go out to Mr. Peacock and the five little children who remain to mourn the loss of a kind and loving wife and mother. The eldest of these children is twelve, and the youngest four years of age.

Mrs. Peacock was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hinton, who reside on Denistoun street. Besides her husband and family she is survived by two brothers, Samuel of Huntsville and Hedley of Welland. Mrs. Peacock became a resident of Welland about four years ago when she moved here from Niagara Falls with her husband. She formerly lived at Port Hope. She was 37 years of age.

The funeral will be held from the late residence West Main street on Sunday afternoon at two o’clock. Interment at Fonthill.
