"The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Saturday, July 10, 1880 In the death of Mrs. V. S. LUCAS, which took place on Friday night, there is a void caused in both the family and social circles that cannot be filled. Indeed it seems hard to realize that she is dead, but ill comparatively a few days. The suddenness of her death has fallen heavily on her friends and none more so than her heart-broken husband, and three motherless little girls, the youngest scarcely three months old. Her amiable disposition has endeared her to all and to have to lay her in the cold, silent grave seems hard indeed. For the past few days she has suffered intensely from inflammatory rheumatism which finally attacking her brain caused her death. The funeral will take place this afternoon at three o'clock. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10
