Forwarded from the message boards. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Morris and Mead Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TdB.2ACI/1865 Message Board Post: Marguerite Mead, 104 Longtime Alaskan Marguerite Mead, 104, died Sept. 27, 2004, at the Anchorage Pioneers and Veterans Home. A memorial service in her honor will be at 7 p.m. Monday at Sunset Hills Baptist Church, where she was a member. Burial will be in Copeland Cemetery in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Mrs. Mead was born Oct. 4, 1899, in Meadville, Pa., to the Rev. Herbert and Minnie Morris. She was the oldest of four children. Her family moved to Greeley, Colo., so that Marguerite and her sister could attend a teachers college. There she married Harry Mead on her graduation day, Aug. 21, 1924, on the front steps of her parents' home. The ceremony was officiated by her father, the Rev. Morris. She and her husband had four sons and a daughter, and in 1948 they ventured to Alaska with four of their children and their new daughter-in-law. Their goal was to homestead on the hill above Homer. On that hill, Marguerite began teaching in a one-room schoolhouse because the local school was so far away. She had 10 students, who included her own young son and neighboring children. When Harry went to work at Elmendorf Air Force Base, they moved back to Anchorage and Marguerite continued teaching, retiring in 1962. After retirement, the couple traveled all over the United States visiting family and friends. In 1970, they found a new home in Northern Idaho. When Harry died in 1975, Marguerite moved to Newport, Wash., to be near her daughter, Dorothy. She came up to Alaska each winter to visit her son, Alfred Mead, traveling back to Newport in the spring. In 1993 she came to stay permanently in Alaska. She became a member of the Sunset Baptist Church and was "grandmother" to all who came to worship. In 1998 she made her final move to the Anchorage Pioneer Home. A major highlight in her later life was her 100th birthday. Fifty of her descendants and many friends attended a special birthday party in her honor. Mrs. Mead was preceded in death by her husband, Harry E. Mead; three sons, Herbert, William and Harry Carroll Mead; grandson, Brian Mead; and great-granddaughter, Tiffany Milligan. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Alfred and Dorris Mead of Anchorage; daughter and son-in-law, Dorothy and Ernie Dalton; 22 grandchildren; 56 great-grandchildren; and 16 great-great-grandchildren. Arrangements are with Anchorage Funeral Home.
