"Fairfield Ledger", October 1, 1868

DIED—At her father’s residence, near Richland, Keokuk county, Iowa, Sunday, Sept. 27th, 1868, of Typhoid Fever, Miss Minerva SHERIDAN, aged 23 years and 21 days.

She was formerly a student of Fairfield College. On Monday her funeral was attended by a large congregation, who came to pay their respects to her remains, and sympathize with the bereaved family. Her sorrowing friends “mourn not as those who have no hope,” as she left them satisfactory evidence that she was going to a better world. D. D.
