From Nevada Representative October 10, 1888

McCallsburg.

....Again we are called upon to report another victim to that dread destroyer, death, whose onward march though slow is sore. Mrs. Wm. Lewis died at her home one mile north of McCallsburg, Tuesday, Oct. 2nd, 1888. All of her family and many relatives were present at the time of her death and remained until the 4th when the remains were laid to rest in the Zearing cemetery. The deceased had been troubled with cancer for about a year and for the last two months was very low suffering much pain from which death was a release. JOB.
