From: Le Mars Daily Liberal, April 3, 1882

On Saturday evening Dean, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. N. W. Gilbert, died after a lingering illness, aged about two years. The funeral took place from the residence of the parents yesterday afternoon, and was largely attended. The Rev. A. Jamieson conducted the services, and in a few well-chosen remarks endeavored to assuage t h e grief of the parents, and point a lesson to 'be learned front the affliction. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert have been called to pass through many severe trials since coming to LeMars, and while they have the heartfelt sympathy of all who know them that goes but little to alleviate the sorrow.
