Bill Barlow's Budget, Douglas, WY, Feb. 30, 1914

Died Very Suddenly

Mrs. Wm. L. Day died very suddenly Monday morning while being taken from her home, twelve miles from Lost Spring, to the train which was to bring her to Douglas for treatment in the hospital. She was apparently feeling able to make the trip when the journey started and was hopeful that an operation would bring relief. An auto was secured in Lost Spring and the body was brought to Douglas to be prepared and sent back to her old home in Petersburg, Neb., which she left about eighteen months ago.

Mrs. Day was about fifty-five years of age and leaves her husband, seven sons and two daughters to mourn her death. The sons are all homesteaders and are among the best citizens in the eastern part of the county.

She was buried in 1914 at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Petersburg, Boone Co., NE, Findagrave #13837161.
