Jessie Pirnie, Mrs. Henry (Annie Pirnie Clark) Freeman, unknown, Miss. Ernestine Clark, and 
Mrs. John T. (Christina Pirnie) Cavanagh.





Miss. Jessie A. Pirnie
Pneumonia Victim After Illness of Several Weeks 
at Home of Brother-In-Law In Boonville.

Miss. Jessie A. Pirnie died Thursday night at the home of her brother-in-law, John T. Cavanagh, in Boonville.  Miss. Pirnie suffered an attack of pneumonia a few weeks ago from which she seemed to be making a good recovery, and her death came as a shock.
Jessie Archer Pirnie was the daughter of the late Michael and Jessie (Janet) Sharp Pirnie, and was born March 18, 1852, at Split Rock.  Her mother died when she was a young girl, and Miss. Pirnie assumed the responsibilities as housekeeper for her father, brothers and sisters.  Later she lived for a time with her sister, Mrs. Henry Freeman, at Medina.  More that 40 years ago she came to Boonville to live with her sister, Mrs. John T. Cavanagh, who died about four years ago.  Miss. Pirnie was a member of the Presbyterian church. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Henry Freeman, Mount Holly, New Jersey, and two brothers, Alex S. Pirnie and Peter C. Pirnie, of San Diego, California, and several nephews and nieces.
