Mrs.Frank X. Guyette died February 21, 1915, at her home in Des Plaines, Illinois, at the age of 58.
Mrs. Guyette was the daughter of the late James Brophy who came to the United States from Ireland in 1848, when she was about one year of age. They settled in Ridgefield, Connecticut, where they lived for twelve years. They then moved to Iowa and located in Howard county. At the age of 17, she was united in marriage to Frank X. Guyette, who survives her.
Thirteen children were born to them, ten of which are living and were present during her last illness. About 8 years ago they moved from Howard county and have since resided in Chicago.
Requiem High Mass was celebrated at Lourdes, Iowa, by Rev. J. J. Norris. Interment was made in Our Lady of Lourdes cemetery at Lourdes, Iowa.

Transcriber's Note: Find a Grave shows she was born January 18 1846. Her gravestone shows she died in 1914 which is obviously an error since this paper was published in 1915.
