[Waterloo Daily Courier, Monday, November 15, 1897]

After an illness lasting about one week, Mrs. Charles C. Bisbey died at her home in this city Sunday morning at 3 o'clock. She felt much improved Saturday, and but a few hours before her death was up and about the house. Shortly afterwards her ailment took a turn for the worse, culminating in paralysis of the upper portion of the body and dissolution soon following. The end came before it was possible to secure the services of a physician. Many hearts were saddened yesterday to learn of Mrs. Bisbey's death.

Mrs. Bisbey was Miss Katie Burbank. She was born July 28, 1873 at Elkhorn Grove, Ill., and later with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D.S. Burbank moved to Waterloo. She was married to Charles C. Bisbey April 3, 1896. There are no children.

Besides her father and mother, she leaves one brother, John Burbank, in Arkansas, four brothers, F.H., Charles, George and Guy, all living in Waterloo, and one sister, Mrs. Wm. Lawless of Minneapolis.

The funeral will be held at the Congregational church at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow and the services wil be conducted by Rev. J.H. Windsor. The interment will be in Fairview cemetery. The pall bearers will be: Frank Rath, George Brennen, Geo. Lemper, Fred Duke, Frank Duke.
