      September 22, 1911
      Mrs. Medora Howe, of East Fifth street, received a crate of peaches a few days ago from her brother, J.D. Craghead, of La Junta, Col., and for the samples brought to the Gazette it can readily be seen that Colorado, also, produces fruit that ranks with the best.

      She lived at 5934 Dr. Giverville Ave., St. Louis, Missouri, at the time of her death. Thomas Baur of the same address, gave the information for her death certificate. He knew her father's name but not her mother's.
