Iowa Plain Dealer May 1, 1884, P3 C2

On Friday last, we met Mr. W. Normington of Durand, Ill., who was called to Saratoga to attend the funeral of the mother of himself and Mr. Miller, Mrs. Ann Archer, who died at that place Monday morning, April 21st, aged 79 years and seven months. Mrs. Archer it seems arose at the usual time in the morning, dressed herself, except putting on her shoes and stockings, which she was about doing when she was taken in a fit of apoplexy, surviving but about thirty minutes thereafter. Mrs. Miller hearing an unusual noise went to her mother, when she said she feared she had had a fit or something, her head felt so badly. She continued to converse for some few sentences, but quickly passed away at the unexpected summons of the grim messenger, death.
