Saturday, July 16th,
Mrs. Wm. Lusk died at her home town and a half miles west of this city, aged 76 years. In her death another of the early pioneers of Iowa is gone. In 1834 Mrs. Lusk was married to the aged husband who survives her, the marriage being the first Christian marriage in Iowa. The year following, Mr. Lusk settled on the claim which has ever since been his home, and for fifty-two years they have watched the development of this grand commonwealth and enjoyed the fruits of their own toil. Since three years ago Mrs. Lusk became an invalid, and has since known the care and attention of her daughter, Mrs. Matthew Caulk [sic - Madison Caulk was her husband]. The funeral services were held Monday at the home of the deceased by Rev. De Garmo. The interment took place at Richwoods.
Buried at Richwood Cemetery, Trenton Twp, Henry Co IA.
