The deceased was born in Winneshiek county, Iowa, on Dec. 5, 1869, and had reached the age of 24 years, 9 months and 28 days. She lived in Omaha for the past five or six years, coming to Davenport as stated above. Besides the bereaved parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Sullivan and Honora, and one brother, Eugene, a valued switchman in the Rock Island yards, all of this city.
