Lead Daily Call newspaper, April 27, 1908 - "DEATH OF MRS. GUISINGER. One of the Old Residents of Lead Died Suddenly Sunday.
Mrs. J.M. Guisinger was found dead in her apartments over the Star Bakery on Sunday afternoon by her husband and Joseph Selig, who forced the door to her sleeping room. Mr. Guisinger had been in the apartments during the afternoon, but believing that his wife was sleeping did not make an effort to awaken her until nearly 4 o'clock, she having been up pretty near all of the night before, suffering from the injuries which she had received in the trolley wreck of last January. However, after he had repeatedly knocked upon the door of her room and had received no response, he summoned Mr. Selig, and together they forced the door. Upon entering the room they found Mrs. Guisinger in her bed, apparently asleep, but it was the sleep of death. Mrs. Guisinger had died while she slept. The end must have come peacefully, for her features were calm and reposed.
About two years ago Mrs. Guisinger left Lead for Grand Forks, where she made her home with one of her married daughters, Mrs. Rose Blondin, and on the 20th of last February returned to the city for a visit with with her daughter, Mrs. Margery Sheckles, of Pluma, and her husband who makes his home in Lead. On the 23d of February, while coming from Deadwood to Lead on the trolley, the trolley was wrecked by coming in collision with a wild engine of the Burlington road just above the baseball park. Mrs. Guisinger was very badly injured at the time, and was taken to St. Joseph's hospital at Deadwood, where she had remained up until a few weeks ago, when she had so far recovered from her injuries as to be able to get around with the assistance of a cane and a crutch. One of her legs had been badly smashed and bruised in the accident and it is believed that from this injury her death has really resulted, as she never has had the use of her limb since the accident, and had been a sufferer from it until death claimed her.
Mrs. Guisinger was one of the old-time residents of Lead, having come here over thirty years ago, and here all but one of her children were born. Judge Allison, who was one of the pioneers of the Hills, was her first husband, and to them all of her children were born. Lead had been her home for nearly all of the thirty years that have passed, and she was well known and well liked by those who knew her intimately. She leaves to mourn her loss two sons and four daughters, Everett, who is at present somewhere in Nevada; Emmett, who is a resident of Lead; Mrs. Martin Tyler, of Lincoln, Neb.; Mrs. Rose Blondin of Grand Forks, N.D., and Bessie, her youngest daughter, who but recently arrived from Grand Forks for a visit with her mother. All of these have the sympathy of a host of friends with them in the hour of their bereavement.
As yet there have been no arrangements made for the funeral, and none will be until after an autopsy and inquest has been held, which will be sometime this afternoon."
Lead Daily Call, April 28, 1908 - "Results of the Inquest. Late yesterday afternoon the inquest which was held over the remains of the late Mrs. Guisinger, who had been found dead in her apartment Sunday evening was conducted. The result of the inquest was that the jurors decided that Mrs. Guisinger had died of acute pneumonia. An autopsy was held which assisted the jurors in arriving at their conclusion.
Telegrams have been received from Mrs. Martin Tyler ad Mrs. Rose Blondin. The former, who lives in Lincoln, Neb., will arrive this afternoon, while the latter, whose home is in Grand Forks, N.D., will not be able to reach the city until Thursday, and the funeral will be held after she has reached the city."
Lead Daily Call, April 29, 1908 - "Funeral services over the remains of the late Mrs. Guisinger will be held from the Episcopal church tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Montgomery officiating. Mrs. Blondin, the other daughter of the deceased lady will arrive from Grand Forks this evening on the Pierre train."
Lead Daily Call, April 30, 1908 - "Funeral of Mrs. Guisinger.
Funeral services over the remains of the late Mrs. J.M. Guisinger took place this afternoon from Christ church, Rev. Montgomery officiating. The services were largely attended by old time friends of the departed, and a number of fragrant floral offerings of affection and remembrance were laid upon the coffin. The following gentlemen acted as pass bearers, all of them old time friends and acquaintances of the deceased: P.A. Gushurst, Frank Abt, G.W. Dorrance, W.T. Harvey, Joseph Peters, and Judge Dewey. The interment was made in South Lead cemetery, and the remains were followed to the grave by a large number of friends who had known the departed in years gone by and who had liked and respected her.
Mrs. Blondin, daughter of deceased, arrived from Grand Forks last evening, and her arrival completed the reunion of the children of the dead woman, with the exception of her son, Everett, who is in Nevada, and could not be reached in time to acquaint him with his mother's death until it was too late for him to reach Lead for the funeral."
