DUNCOMBE - At the family residence in South Richland, Chickasaw county, Iowa, September 13, 1886, of malignant dysentery, Margie, second daughter of W. H. H. and Mrs. Jennie Duncombe. Into this hitherto unbroken family circle the Grim Reaper of death has entered and upon its fairest bud his icy hand has was laid. The household fairy was garnered for the Master's fold. Evermore in the family gatherings there will be one vacant chair. Scarcely had the childish prattle become silent in the home before death had set his seal upon the little lips and they were silenced forever, her illness being of only four days duration. One daughter and two sons are left to comfort the hearts of the sorrowing parents, and as they pass beneath the the chastening rod, may they be enabled to feel the hand of the Healer is there, mighty to comfort and strengthen. Mrs. Duncombe is a sister of Mrs. F. M. Brubaker of Florida.
