After an illness of three years death claimed Miss Nellie Liston, Saturday morning, at 6:30 o’clock, at the family home, 197 Locust Street, Dubuque. The deceased was born and reared in Clayton county, and for the past nineteen years Dubuque had been her home. She was a devout Catholic, and a woman whose patient life under a cross of ill health made her example a beautiful one. Her death is mourned by one sister, Mary, and two nieces and a nephew, living at Elkader. The funeral was held Monday morning at 9:30 o’clock, in the Cathedral, and the body was shipped to Garnavillo for burial.
