The Davenport Daily Leader; June 11, 1894:

Woodmansee

Ross Woodmansee, Jr., the only child of Mrs. Jessie Thorington Woodmansee and the late Ross Woodmansee, died at noon Sunday of malignant scarlet fever. Little Ross was only five years old last March and his death is a sad affliction to the now doubly-bereaved mother who is tendered heartfelt sympathy in her present sorrow.

The funeral, which was private owing to the cause of death took place today at 4:30 p.m. from the residence 1918 Main street. Interment was made in Oakdale cemetery.
