"Julia Luehrs [1852 – 1886] Chilton Times --- December 4, 1886

(the first half of the obit is in LuLu's memorial)
The mother having, a little previous to this time, also contracted the disease; which bore heavily on her, not alone from its own dire effects, but out of anxiety for her remaining children who were all effected by it; and grief, yes untold grief for her lost one, to whom she was especially attached, she having been her constant companion in the house; when the father was laboring in the field. We are told that when the body was removed from her sight a wail of distress was heard from her lips, in her lowly condition, which penetrated the very frames of the attendants and caused them to grow sick at heart. But her troubles did not continue long; a few days afterward, she told her family that she would not remain with them long, as her Lulu was calling her in the bright beyond. And so it was, eleven years and two days from the day of their marriage and one week from the day her daughter died, she followed her guiding footsteps, toward "that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns."
