Postville Review, Sat., 24 Oct. 1896. (condensed).

Lenora McGhee, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. McGhee, was born in Allamakee Co., Iowa, 10 June 1890, and died on the evening of 15 Oct. 1896, aged 6 years, 4 months and 5 days, after an illness of 18 days, during which time she was a great though patient sufferer.

The light of little Nora was the first to go out in this happy family; and how great the darkness ! But Jesus had need of her. She was transplanted to bloom in the kingdom of God.

The very impressive funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. Harper at Bethel church, where a large gathering of sympathizing friends came to pay respects, after which tender loving hands laid her little body to rest in Minert cemetery.
