Born in Kentucky.
Death of Mrs. Church - Mrs. Minerva H. Church, whom we mentioned in Saturday's JOURNAL as having suffered another attack of paralysis, died on Saturday, her 58th birthday. Mrs. Church had several previous strokes, but during the last one her sufferings were more excruciating than any previous ones - although she was conscious until the last.
Mrs. Church was a resident of Springfield for 29 years. She came here from Jacksonville, where she resided when that city consisted of but a few log houses.
She leaves a husband, Thos. M. Church, two sons - Hon. A. H., formerly an attaché of the JOURNAL, now of North Platte, Neb., and Myron B., of this city - and a daughter Ada, aged 16 years, to mourn her loss. She was buried Sunday, Rev. Father Hale officiating.

Minerva is buried in Block 3 which is one of the oldest in the cemetery. There are very few stones in this section with huge areas of unmarked graves as shown in the photo. No stone was found for Minerva amongst the remaining few that are there.
