Maquoketa Excelsior, Maquoketa, Iowa, October 20, 1896.

DIED-

IMOGENE NAOMI KLINEFELTER, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Klinefelter, died early yesterday morning from the after-effects of diphtheria. She was taken with diphtheria about two months ago. She was never considered very ill and was soon over the diphtheria, and for the few weeks previous to the last few days, she was seen playing about the house. A few days ago, however, she began to fail and she failed rapidly, sinking into her last sleep yesterday morning. She was aged five years, eight months and twelve days. The remains were laid to rest in Mt. Hope Cemetery the same afternoon, with brief services at the grave conducted by Rev. Macurdy. The bereaved have the sympathy of the community.
