THE MAXWELL TRIBUNE, Maxwell, Iowa, Thursday, April 19, 1894, page 1. “IOWA CENTER PICKUPS. DIED – At her home, north-east of Nevada, on Saturday, April 14, 1894, Nettie, wife of Geo. L. Tichnor, in the 29th year of her age, after an illness of several months, with consumption. She was the daughter of G. W. Wireman and wife, living just north of Maxwell, and was married to Geo. L. Tichnor, Feb. 26, 1889. All was joy and happiness in their home until about two years ago she had a severe attack of fever. From this she never fully recovered, and last fall she began to show symptoms of consumption. All efforts to arrest the trouble failed, and she continued to grow worse until the end came. Her funeral took place on Monday in the Mullen settlement, and was conducted by Rev. R. A. Ferguson, of this place, assisted by Rev. C. M. Lotton, of McCallsburg. She made profession of religion a number of years ago, and united with the New Hope Cumb., Presbyterian Church, in Mullen settlement. She was a good and true woman in every respect, and her death is very much lamented by those who knew her. The funeral was very largely attended, and many were the expressions of sorrow on that occasion. The people of this community sympathize with her parents and sisters in their loss. She was not only a faithful wife, but she was a dutiful daughter and a loving sister. She leaves no children. Her husband thinks some of breaking up housekeeping, and returning to his mother’s home.”
