Maquoketa Excelsior, October 20, 1896.

DIED-

Zuba Reeve-

Zuba, the eight year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Reeve, died this morning from the after-effects of diphtheria. Four of their children had the diphtheria some weeks ago, but none of them was seriously ill excepting Zuba. She was getting along nicely, however, until yesterday, when she was taken suddenly worse. Her condition was not considered serious, however, until just a few minutes before she died. All their other children are fully recovered.
