Death of MRS. NANCY ALLGEYER

The sudden death of Mrs. J. S. Allgeyer at her home four miles west of Winterset on last Wednesday night was a profound shock to the people of this community. While her immediate family had known of a heart failure she had for some years, her appearance indicated good health and the announcement of her death was wholly unexpected. It was about one o'clock on the morning of the 11th when her husband noticed that she had what he supposed was an attack of nightmare. Failing to arouse her he lighted a lamp and found her unconscious, she had passed away a few minutes later.

Mrs. Allgeyer was a daughter of the late Wm. I. Gordon, one of the pioneer families of the county. She left no children but adopted and gave her loving care and attention to three of her brother's children.cemetery.
