From Story County Watchman February 26, 1892

The death angel has again visited the home of Mrs. Jerry Day of Princeton, Ill., taking from her the youngest child. This is a hard blow for Mrs. Day, as she has recently lost her father, husband and little son. Her little daughter the only remaining child, is sick. Mrs. Day is in feeble health. She has the sympathy of relatives and former neighbors of Richland.

SUBMITTER'S NOTE: "Mrs. Jerry Day" was Ida M. (Potts) Day, daughter of Andrew M. and Adeline Potts. Jerry Day (enscribed on the stone as J. R. Day) is buried beside his father-in-law and mother-in-law in the Heatons Point Cemetery, Bureau County, Illinois. "J. R. Day" had died 24 December 1891, Andrew M. Potts had died on 18 December 1891. The happy note is that the "only remaining child," Viola G. Day, survived.
