[from the Mower County Transcript, 27 Feb. 1879, page 6, column 1]
Three More.
Mrs. Ames, widow of Alonzo B. Ames whom we spoke of last week as having five children down with diphtheria, has lost three of the five.
Irma, the youngest, a little four-year old girl, died on Saturday morning; was sick four days.
Anna, thirteen years, died Saturday night. These two were buried on Sunday.
Glen, youngest boy, aged seven, died Sunday night-- the little fellow walking about the room but half an hour before his death.
Thus this widowed mother has been bereft of her three youngest children. She has three remaining, the youngest a boy of about fifteen. Kind friends have done all that was possible to do for their comfort, and for which Mrs. Ames desires us to express her gratitude.
Mr. Ames, her husband, came to Austin with his family in the year 1865. After living here some time they moved to Rochester, Mr. Ames dying there in 1876, his widow returning to Austin about a year ago. Mr. Ames was a cousin of D. J. Ames, of the iron foundry, who has done all in his power to comfort the family of his cousin during their great affliction.
The children were buried in his lot in Rose Creek cemetery.
