Unionville Republican April 15, 1875
The wife of R. Means, an old resident of the county, died very suddenly on last 
Wednesday night at her home about six miles west of this city.  She had been an 
invalid for several months but on Wednesday she seemed considerably better and 
spoke of getting her garden seeds together and making preparations to make 
garden on the following day.  These evidences of her speedy recovery after her 
long illness filled the hearts of the family with hope and pleasure.  But they 
were doomed to sudden and bitter disappointment.  During the evening while her 
children were absent at singing school, and she was alone with her husband she 
arose and started toward a chair by the stove, when she suddenly stumbled and 
fell a corpse in her husband’s arms.  She was a kind and loving wife and 
mother, and her sudden demise has cast a deep gloom over a large circle of 
friends and acquaintances.
