Joyce - Kate, Beloved wife of Hugh Joyce, died in Cherokee March, 26, 1888, aged 26 years. Mr. Joyce was employed in bridge building, having come here to make their home recently. A week ago a girl baby was born to them, and where sunshine and gladness was looked for now only death and desolation and blasted hopes are found. The remains were conveyed last evening to Melrose, Iowa, for interment. The infant babe was taken there to be cared for by the mother of the deceased.
