Williamsburgh Journal, Williamsburgh (Iowa Co.), Iowa, 19 February 1886.

Just as we go to press, we learn of the death of Miss Minnie Simpson, daughter of Jas. Simpson Esq. of Victor. She was about 16 or 17 years of age, possessed of rare natural gifts and would have graduated from the High School the coming June. This sudden bereavement is a terrible blow to the parents, brothers and sister and other friends. Her mother whose health has been poor for some time, is completely prostrated with but little hopes of her recovery.
