From the LeMars Sentinel, Thursday, January 14, 1897, Page 4, Column 3:
Death of Mrs. D. S. McArthur

Very suddenly at her home in Elgin township, Tuesday forenoon at about 11 o'clock Mrs. D. S. McArthur, passed from earth at the age of about 59 years. She had been in poor health for about three years and lately had become worse. The attending physician was out to see her that morning and she appeared to be in no immediate danger, but heart disease is an uncertain ailment and her death came before noon.

Mrs. McArthur came to Plymouth county many years ago with her husband and family. The family has been prominent in the north part of the county and many friends will mourn the sudden death of Mrs. McArthur whom they had learned to regard as a dear friend. The husband and a large family of sons and daughters survive her. The funeral services will be held at the house at two o'clock, Thursday. Rev. A. Z. Macgogney will conduct the services.
