From Story County Watchman June 26, 1885

DIED:--At McCallsburg, June 13th, 1885, of lung fever Laura B.* daughter of W. A. and H. B. Boston, aged 4 years, 1 month and 7 days.

Little Sarah was a bright and winsome child and her early death is a sad bereavement to her parents and relatives whose consolation is that their little one is:

"Not lost but gone before
To that blissful land of rest
Where partings, sighings and pains are unknown,
And death comes never again."

*SUBMITTERS NOTE: Further in the article the deceased is referred to as "Little Sarah" and, although Sarah appears in census records with this family, there is no evidence of a Laura.
