Maquoketa Excelsior, March 29, 1901

Bessie Florence Whitmore-
Bessie Florence, the second daughter of Edward and Carrie Whitmore, was born November 22, 1892 and after a short illness of one day, which baffled medical skill, she died at the home of her parents, 3 miles northeast of Maquoketa on Friday at 5 a.m., March 29, 1901, aged 8 years, 4 months and 7 days. Bessie was always a great favorite in the family and among her many friends and playmates and she will be missed sadly. The sudden death summons was a great shock to the sorrowing family. Funeral services were held at the home of the parents on Saturday at 1 p.m. and burial in the Bridgeport cemetery, Rev. D. F. Boomershine officiating. The sorrowing family has the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends in their great loss and bereavement.
