From Story County Watchman June 24, 1881

DIED--In Nevada, June 18th, after a short illness, Mrs. Lillie King, aged 24 years.

Mrs. King, formerly Miss Lillie Day, has lived for years in our midst and was known and esteemed by all as one of the most amiable and devoted, and one that aimed to do good to all. Less than one year since she was married to Jay A. King, County Treasurer, and life was just opening up to her in all its beauties.

She leaves her husband and an infant, father, mother and brothers to mourn her loss, and a large number of friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Reid, on Monday afternoon to an audience that bespeak the esteem in which she was held by neighbors and relatives, who followed her remains to their final resting place in the Cemetery. All tender their sympathy to the bereaved ones, and bid them look forward to a meeting where there whall be no more parting.
