Miss Lizzie Renalds, of Harrison township, passed from life to eternity Monday, January 26, at 7:30 p.m. She had the prevalent disease, lung fever. She leaves a new-born baby, Charlie, as she called him, and many friends to mourn her loss. Peace in eternity.
“Personal,” Brazil Miner (Brazil, Indiana), 31 January 1885, p. 1, col. 4.


This leaves us wanting to know more. I wonder what the “lung fever” was. If she had a new-born son, why is she “Miss”–seems strange for such candor in 1895. No reference to being survived by a husband. She must have been young. SAD story behind it all.
