From Story County Watchman August 22, 1877

DIED.

In Nevada, Iowa, on Monday, August 13, 1877, May, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Callahan.

Many friends sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Callahan in their loss. There is one great ameliorating circumstance in the loss of a child of tender age. While we mourn for its departure and while the vacancy in the household created by death is constantly before us, yet we are assured that there is a home in Heaven for all our little ones. Sleep on, thou pure and spotless babe; thy spirit has passed through the pearly gates, left ajar for such as thee.
