Miss Mary I. Ish, aged about 26 years, died at Corsicana, Texas, on the 8th of
June 1860. Miss Ish was boarding in the family and died at the house of Col.
C. M. Winkler. As a teacher, Miss Belle had few equals and no superior. Her
services, in this capacity, among the Indians at Johnson’s Station, and
finally in the Corsicana Female Institute, will long be regarded as a blessing
by those who enjoyed their benefit. Her last illness, typhoid fever, was quite
protracted. Although she died far from her mother’s house, with but one
relative, far as known, in this state, yet let her mother, sisters and
brothers comfort themselves with the assurance that she was attended by
numerous kind and tender friends. (Navarro Express, June 16, 1860)
