From Story County Watchman August 2, 1895

DIED.--About 5 o'clock Sunday morning the angel of death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Daugherty and took to her home in heaven the spirit of their loving daughter Sara. She had been sick but a few days and when the news of her death was heard many was the tears mingled with those loved ones left behind. Sara was indeed a loving girl, with her bright smile was gentle loving ways, she made friends of all who knew her, and when we think that no more on earth we shall see the form of her we love so dear we bow our hearts in sorrow but we must look up to him who is the father of the afflicted and say, O, Lord thy will, not mine, be done. The remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery of this city, Rev. Cooney officiating.

Weep nomore for her who sleepeth,
Under the flowers so fair.
For you shall meet again in heaven,
And there is no parting there.
