From Nevada Representative November 26, 1884

Died.

At her home in this city on Monday last, Mrs. Maggie L., wife of William Killen, aged thirty-seven years. The funeral services are held in the Presbyterian church at one o'clock to-day. By her demise the parents she left in old Ireland when but a maiden are made childless, and the home of her womanhood is bereft indeed. Death came in "consumption's wasting form," with suffering, and bitterness that five little ones must be motherless, and the home of which she was the light and inspiration must do without her; yet the patience, trust and faith which can mitigate all trial softened hers and made welcome approaching rest. Mr. Killen and his household have the sincere sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
