After a serious illness of about two months' duration Mrs. B. A. Quigley died at her home, 308 North Sixth street this morning, as a result of paralysis from which her serious illness resulted.

Deceased was born in Kenosha, Wis., Feb. 1, 1851, and shortly after came to the present town of Petersville, with her parents where she resided. Her husband Michael Quigley died in 1901 while they were living in Petersville, as the town of Petersville was formerly Quigley having been built up on the farm owned by Michael Quigley. Mrs. Quigley was very well known in the entire county and her many friends will be deeply grieved to learn of her death.

She is survived by four brothers, John Conwell of this city, M. T. of DeWitt, D. W. of Grand Junction and J. A. of Davenport, also two sisters, Mrs. M. F. Hill of Goldfield, Nevada, and Miss Mary Conwell of this city.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday morning at St. Irenaeus church and a special train will be run to Petersville, where the body will be taken for burial in the Petersville cemetery.
