From Nevada Representative March 25, 1891

Story City.

....Miss Eva Sheffield died last Saturday afternoon of typhoid fever at her home, five miles south of town, having been sick about ten weeks. The funeral was Monday on her 23rd birthday. She was teaching school south of Nevada when she contracted the disease and had given promise of a successful teacher's life, but it seems it was not so ordered. A beautiful young lady both in appearance and disposition. We mourn her death and extend sympathy to her family.

SUBMITTER'S NOTE: Eva Pauline Sheffield was the daughter of Royal Peter Sheffield and Permelia Mornilvia Squier.
