On Saturday April 17, 1886, in Livermore, Mrs. [Lettie] Vannatta, wife of John Vannatta, and daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Dan [Nancy] Ray. Cause of death, consumption; age, 27 years.

Mrs. Vannatta was born in [Avoca, Iowa Co.] Wisconsin and moved to this county nearly 20 years ago. She was married to John Vannatta in 1880, and has made Livermore her home since that time. She leaves a husband and two children—a boy and a girl—aged respectively 3 and 5, to mourn her loss. The funeral occurred last Sunday at the home of her parents, Rev. Mr. Zimmerman conducting the ceremonies. She was buried in Indian Mound cemetery, Dakota, to which she was followed by a large number of relatives and friends, who were joined by others at Dakota.
Befor her death she expressed a desire to become identified with the Presbyterian church, and the initiatory step had already been taken in that direction, and the rite of baptism administered. Her last words testified to her happiness in Christ, and her end was as peaceful as the close of a summer day.
