Cheely in 1869 and lived there for a number of years, when they removed to South Dakota, where they lived for seventeen years and then moved to this city.’
She is survived by three sons, Charles, of Hornick, Ia., Sam, of this city, and Wm. R. of Sioux City, and two daughters, Mrs. Louis Hopkins, of Elk Point, S.D., and Mrs. John Gardipee, of Tekamah.

The many friends of the bereaved children extend deepest sympathy.
