From Nevada Representative September 4, 1895 (page 7)

Miss Margaret Wallace, niece of Mrs. T. R. Leonard, died at the home of the latter in Nevada yesterday morning, aged nearly twenty years. She was the early victim of consumption, had been prostrated with the decease for the last two months and the end was glad release from suffering and a triumph of Christian faith. Miss Wallace was the daughter of William Wallace, a brother of Mrs. Leonard. Her birth occurred in Canada; she was orphaned during infancy; and mace to reside in Nevada about ten years ago. She was a member of the M. E. church, of the Sunday school and of the Epworth League. She was much attached to the Epworth League, and sent by her pastor affectionate messages to the members of the chapter. She is the first one of the League to be called away. Her funeral is attended at the Leonard residence at three o'clock this afternoon, the League expressing appreciative regard by attending in a body and by an elaborate floral tribute. Rev. Mr. Horswell conducts the service.
