From Nevada Representative September 26, 1883

Iowa Center.

....We learn that Samuel Vincent of this neighborhood is at Perry sick, and it is feared unto death His mother was sent for and went out there last week Monday evening, taking the train at Maxwell....

In the same issue under the heading:

Maxwell.

....Samuel Vincent died of hemorrhage of the lungs in Dallas county, Sunday last. The remains were brought her on the evening train and conveyed to his home near Iowa Center, Ia. It is indeed sad to be thus claimed by the band of death; in the very prime of life, as was the case with both of these young men*. Surely in the midst of life we are in death....

*SUBMITTER'S NOTE: This same article told of the death of Jacob Flora of Maxwell as well.

From Nevada Representative October 3, 1883
