From Story County Watchman March 12, 1880

DIED--In this city, on Thursday, March 4, 1880, of measles complicated with bronchitis, Edith R., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Bell, aged 3 years.

Little Edith has been snatched by the icy hand of death from those who held her most dear, to join the heavenly throng above, where her innocence and gentleness best fitted her. While cruel death has caused the hearts of her parents to ache with grief, they should be consoled with the thoughts that their little Edith now revels in that bliss, eternal.
