The heart of the community was moved, last Saturday, by the receipt of the sad news that Mrs. George Ladd was dead. In caring for her lovely little daughter, ill of diphtheria, she contracted the disease and fell a prey to its ravages. She was borne to Larch Hill cemetery only a few days after the little daughter. Thus, mother and child sleep together. Sad indeed is this bereavement, and it must be a heart of stone that does not go out to the husband and father who must endure it, and the two family circles which are broken. Mrs. Ladd was a most exemplary lady, and her sudden demise comes like the loss of kin to many homes. She was not yet twenty-eight years of age and had been married but a few years. A child of a few months is left to the husband to comfort him in a measure and witness the mother love. The deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McKerral, near town.

Obituary: Ogle County Press, April 04, 1891.
Daughter of Hugh and Sarah Spear McKerral.
Wife of George Daniel Ladd.
