Chetopa Kansas:
It is with sympathy for the bereaved husband that we record
the death on Friday, 27th ult., of Mrs. Roseanne Sharkey,
wife of Mr. John Sharkey, of Four Mile, I.T.  Mrs. Sharkey
was Miami Indian, her maiden name was Gebo, and she was 
related to many of the leading Miamis.  She was born in Indiana
in October of 1833 and consequently was nearly fifty-three
years of age at the time of her demise.  She has been an
invalid for years and consequently her death was not altogether
unexpected, though none the less a severe blow to the bereaved
family.  Her funeral was preached by Rev. J.S. Gillespie on
Sunday the 29th ult., and her remains laid to rest in a 
cemetery on the old Dollar farm, now known as the Billington
place.
