From Nevada Representative February 10, 1904

Mrs. Roy W. Brouhard died after a very short illness Feb. 2. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church Feb. 4 by the pastor of the United Brethren church at Calton and the remains were laid to rest in the Colo cemetery. She leaves her husband, two small children and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. Smith, besides other relatives. She was 21 years of age at the time of her death, was born and grew to womanhood in this community and was highly respected by all. This community extends sympathy to the bereaved family.

Further down the page under DALTON DOINGS:

The Brouhard school was dismissed during the afternoon of the funeral in honor of Mrs. Brouhard and both teacher and pupils attended.

A son and daughter of Ike Smith of Boone were down on Wednesday to attend the funeral of their cousin, Mrs. Roy Brouhard, and remained for a few days.

Our neighborhood has received a severe shock in the sudden death of Mrs. Roy Brouhard. Mrs. Grace Smith Brouhard ws born in June 1883 to Mr. and Mrs. Ike Smith and was the sunshine of the home until three years ago when they gave her in marriage to Roy Brouhard. Her gentle loving disposition endeared her to all and she made life a joy to her husband and the two little sons. The children will never realize all they miss in the loss of such a mother. Her sickness was of a short duration. It began on Sunday, January 31, and on Tuesday she passed away. Peritonitis was the fatal disease and it did its work quickly. The bereaved parents and husband have the sincere sympathy of the entire neighborhood.
