Alton Democrat of June 25, 1904
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Montgomery of Ireton have received word from India that their daughter Mrs. Anna Briggs who died there a month ago was only sick six hours with the fever which has wiped out so many lives. The letter states that she retired in the best of health and awoke in the night with a terrific headache and in spite of medical aid she passed away in that far away country murmuring the words of 'father' 'mother' and the name of her husband.
