Surnames: Douglass Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Tk.2ADE/2277 Message Board Post: >From the Feb 1897 Postville paper: Mr. E. Douglass, the old gentleman, received word on Monday that his wife was steadily failing and could not live much longer. He took the evening train for Belvidere, where Mrs. Douglass is staying with a daughter. Our sympathy goes out to the old gentleman in his affliction. Later: - R. N. Douglass received a telegram yesterday stating that his mother was dead, and left on the afternoon train for Belvidere. The remains will be brought to McGregor for interment. Submitter's note: R.N. Douglass is believed to be Reuben Nobel Douglass of Postville.
