Mrs. L. B. Rusk died this morning of lung trouble at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas T. McGill, 2912 Seventh avenue, with whom she had made her home since taken ill two years ago. Her maiden name was Jennie McGill. She was married to Mr. Rusk at Stuart, Iowa, in 1888. Mrs. Rusk and her mother were in Colorado for the benefit of the former's health when called home last month by the death of Mrs. Rusk's brother, DeVon McGill, since which time her health had been failing rapidly. Mrs. Rusk was born in LaSalle county, Ill., in 1868. She is survived by her husband and one child, Wilbur, aged 6 years, and her parents. She had many warm friends in Rock Island to whom the news of her death will be a sorrowful blow. The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the McGill residence on Seventh avenue.
