From Nevada Representative October 21, 1885

DIED, the 7th inst., Mrs. Dorothy Loucks, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Martin. Mother Loucks had been a resident of Story county for twenty years and by her pure christian life had drawn around her very many true friends, who will long remember her christian example and motherly counsels; for truly, she was a mother of Israel. Her maiden name was Bellinger. She was born in the State of N. Y., July 13th, 1808, and was married to Geo. Loucks, June 21, 1824, with whom she lived til his decease, some fifteen years ago. Her family consisted of eight children, three sons and five daughters. For fifty-two years she has been a worthy member of the M. E. Church, always faithful, always consistent. Her last illness was brief but attended with great suffering; yet she complained not, but rejoiced in the grace that was able to keep her even to death.
