He was 72 years, 8 months, and 22 days of age. As a baby of 18 months he was taken to Fremont, Neb., by his parents, where he resided for seven years. In a covered wagon he came with his parents to Colorado when he was eight years old. He attended the public schools near his home, where he later met and married Luna L. McNichols in 1904. Mr. and Mrs. Petrie ranched near Eckley several years before moving to Yuma. Here he operated a lumber and feed store for many years, and later a service station. In later years he was in the real estate business. He leaves to mourn his passing his devoted wife, Luna; two sisters, Mrs. J. W. Weekly of Berkley, Calif., Mrs. Amy Miller of Wray; one brother, H. W. Petrie of San Gabriel, Calif.; 13 nieces and nephews; and other less near relatives, and a host of friends.
