From Nevada Representative May 23, 1883

Died.

Sunday evening in this city at the home of her only daughter, Mrs. O. B. Ingalls, Mrs. P. D. Belknap, age sixty-two years. Mrs. Belknap's delicate constitution yielded to a severe illness of but five days duration. At least forty-six years of her early life were passed in Genesee county, N. Y., and there she was widowed. Subsequently, Sycamore, Illinois, was her home, and to their final resting place in that city, her remains are borne to-day by her only son, Mr. F. M. Robinson. She was a woman of cultivated mind, and her literary productions often found their way into newspapers and periodicals. Suffering and sorrow had developed for her rare moral worth; and those who knew her will miss a delightful companion, a valued and devoted relative and friend.
