Storm Lake Pilot - March 5, 1885 - Died at her home in Storm Lake, March 2nd, 1885, of peritonitis, Ada F, wife of L.J. Metcalf, aged 25 years, 7 months, and 22 days.

Ada F Tolley was born July 8th, 1859 in the town of Darlington, Wisconsin where on Thanksgiving day 1882 she was married to L.J. Metcalf and at once the young couple came to Storm Lake. The Pilot of last week noted the birth of a boy babe to this couple and the mother was doing nicely until Sunday, Feb 23 growing worse from that time until her decease.

Mrs Metcalf was a devoted wife and mother and in her death her husband and two infant children sustain a loss which can never be replaced or forgotten. The little babe will probably be taken into the home and hearts of Mr and Mrs J.P. Money.

The funeral occurred from the Congregational church Wednesday afternoon. At the request of deceased the minister who married and baptized her was sent for to conduct the services.
