PETTYJOHN -- At her home on North Winter street, Tuesday evening, February 18, 1913, Mrs. Sarah A. Pettyjohn, aged 85 years, of heart failure.

Yates of Alameda, California. She is also survived by twenty-two grandchildren, twenty-five great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. Funeral announcements later.
