--Mrs. N. Bishop of Polk county died Saturday, March 10, at the home of her nephew, Mr. Cyrus Bishop of New Albany township, while making a brief visit. She received the best of medical attendance and the most devoted care of her relatives, but her great age, 82 years, and the nature of her malady rendered all efforts to save her life unavailing.

SUBMITTER'S NOTE: Mary (Throop) Bishop's death record states she died March 7, 1888 in New Albany Township, Story County, Iowa. She was born in Canada and was buried in Polk City, Iowa. She was the wife of Nathan Bishop.
