Mrs. Naomi Robbins Wedmore, who arrived in the Prescott area by wagon train in 1876, passed away early Sunday morning in a local hospital at the age of 87. Her death followed a lingering illness, and a four-year hospitalization.

At an early age, she became the bride of Harry H. Beebe, who passed away in 1934. She later was married to David L. Wedmore of Eagle, Colo., where the couple made their home for several years before establishing their local residence on Division street in Miller Valley, where Wedmore passed away.
