From Nevada Representative September 24, 1890

Story City.

....Miss Louisa Landrup* died last Tuesday morning of that dread disease consumption having been sick since May. She was nineteen years and ten months of age and came here with her parents 12 years ago. She was a lovely young lady and beloved by everyone who knew her. She was to have been married some months ago but ill health postponed the wedding. The entire family have our heartfelt sympathy and especially Mr. Idse who planned for a beautiful home, but cannot now realize it. The funeral occurs on Thursday at 3 P. M.....

*SUBMITTER'S NOTE: The name of the deceased was Louise Deodata Gandrup, not "Landrup" as stated. She was the daughter of Vilhelm Deodatus Gandrup (later known as William D. Gandrup) and Emilie Augusta Eckblum.
