Obituary

The people of Lyon county and particularly of Agnes City township, were pained to learn of the death of Mrs. Caroline Sheetz, wife of Mr. A. Sheetz whose residence is about four miles north of this city.  Mrs. Sheetz was born in Shenandoah county, Va., about 48 years ago.  She was stick only a few weeks.  Her death was not expected until a few days before the sad termination.  To her husband and family their loss is irreparable.  No better or more faithful wife, mother or neighbor live in the county.  She leaves four children, the eldest the wife of Geo. E. Withington. Two daughters and one son are at home with their afflicted father.  She died as she lived in the full faith of a better world.
