From Story County Watchman May 7, 1886

Mrs. M. R. Basket while returning to her home was suddenly taken ill while on a train near Des Moines. Work was sent here and as soon as possible parties went to meet her. She was cared for, but without avail as she died soon after.

The funeral of Mrs. Basket came off Tuesday, a large concourse following the remains to the grave.
