Indianapolis Sentinel, May 23, 1873, p. 4:
Vesta Myrtle Voss, youngest daughter of G. H. Voss, Esq., was in a dying condition late last night, and probably before this paragraph reached the public her soul will have been wafted heavenward. The sadness of the event is heightened by the fact that Mrs Voss is a near relative of the late Hon. John D. Evans, whose remains will be entombed at Crown Hill tomorrow.
