Death of Mrs A. Pead.
A large number of the older residents of Geraldton will hear with deep regret of the death of Mrs. Pead, widow of the late Mr. Alfred Pead, which occurred at the residence of her daughter, Mrs Molloy, Ventnor Place, West Perth on Sunday.
The deceased, who was in her 80th year, had been in failing health for some time, and her death was therefore not unexpected. Her husband , the late Mr. Alfred Pead, who was in business here many years ago as a butcher, was a resident of the town from the early days and was held in high esteem.
After his death Mrs. Pead moved to Perth to live. There were ten children, of whom two sons, Messrs Cecil and Harold Pead, of Perth; and five daughters, Mrs. S. Haddy and Mrs. A. W Haigh, of Geraldton; Mrs. Molloy and Mrs. Enright, of Perth; and Mrs. Ottaway of Wyalcatchem , survive. The funeral took place this morning. [1]
