From Story County Watchman January 2, 1885

DIED:--On Tuesday morning, of consumption, Jessie Ayers, aged 14 years. Jessie was born in Des Moines, but has lived in Nevada all her life. For months past she has been a victim of the fell destroyer, and the end has been looked to for months. She is the only child, and as such the idol of a devoted mother, who will now be left to stem the tide of the world alone. She had the heartfelt sympathy of all in this her hour of affliction. The funeral will be held to-day.
