OBITUARY-

TROUT- Mrs. Louisa Fischer Trout passed away at her home in Maquoketa, at 3 
a.m., Monday, August 26, 1901, which was her sixtieth birthday, after a 
sickness of about five years standing. The citizens of Maquoketa were saddened 
Monday by the intelligence that Mrs. Louisa Trout had passed over to the great 
majority. Mrs. Trout returned on Saturday night from Dubuque where she had 
been under treatment for cancer. In her exhausted condition the journey was 
too great for her and she gradually sank until 3 a. m. yesterday morning she 
peacefully breathed her last. Her husband and son Frank were both at her 
bedside when she summons came to depart. She was for many years a valued 
member of the Baptist church.

Mrs. Trout was born near Tiffin, Ohio, August 26, 1841, and came to Maquoketa 
in 1863. Two years later in September 1864 she was married to Frank Trout, and 
here they have lived ever since. About five years ago symptoms of cancer began 
to appear. Dr. A. B. Bowen treated her at the time and it was hoped that the 
trouble was over. Last winter, however, unmistakable signs of the old disease 
became manifest and on May 26th this year she underwent an operation in 
Dubuque. From this she seems never to have recovered. Last week alarming 
symptoms of weakness and heart failure set in and her husband, who had 
returned to Maquoketa, was hastily called to Maquoketa was hastily called to 
Dubuque. She was brought home as we have said on Saturday night, and died at 
her home.

Mrs. Trout was well known to our citizens. Many hearts will be saddened by her 
departure, for she had a wide circle of friends. The funeral was held at the 
family home on Pleasant Street Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock and Rev. G. 
C. Chandler of the Baptist church conducted the services. A quartet composed 
of Mrs. S. E. Clappe, Mrs. O. C. Kucheman, Jesse Bowen and Dr. Max Wright 
rendered sweet music and the many floral tributes bore silent testimony to the 
esteem in which the deceased was held in the community.
