Died:
Mrs. Andrew Purdon died at her home Sunday morning, her death being unexpected until within a few hours of the end. To very many of her friends, the announcement was a great surprise, Mrs. Purdon having but recently returned from a trip east in good spirits and apparently enjoying her usual health.
Mrs. Andrew Purdon, whose maiden name was Annie Walker, was born in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada, June 30, 1846. She came to Minnesota with her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Walker, in May 1868, settling in Hudson Twp. About the same period, Mr Andrew Purdon, who had been a neighbor in Canada, settled here. They were married on November 4, 1869. They built a small home in Alexandria, which they enlarged and beautified from time to time. This has been their home until the time of Mrs. Purdon's death. Mrs. Purdon had been in failing health for several years, although able to be about her household duties. She and Mr. Purdon returned Thursday afternoon from a visit with their son, W. D. Purdon, at Cleveland, Ohio. On her return she was feeling considerably improved. She was stricken Friday, however, and gradually sank until relieved by death. During Mrs. Purdon's 40 years of life in Alexandria she surrounded herself with an ever widening circle of friends. Not a woman who loved display but rather a quiet home loving woman, her influence was felt in church work and in the society in which she moved. Her death will be mourned, not alone in her home, but at a large circle of sincere friends. She leaves besides her husband, one son, Wm. D. Purdon of Cleveland, Ohio, and a niece, Mrs. R. T. Barber, who until married a few years ago, made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Purdon, James, Daniel and William Walker, brothers and Mrs. Joseph Gilpin, a sister. The funeral occurred Tuesday from the home, Rev. A. A. Secord of the Congregational Church, of which denomination Mrs. Purdon had for years been a member, officiating.
