From the Chetek Alert dated 30 May 1885

Canton Items

Mr. and Mrs. B. O. Butler received a telegram Monday morning, from Hayward,
that their daughter, Mrs. Thos. McDonald, died at her home in Hayward on the
same day, and that they might expect to meet the husband and son with the
corpse, as Canton the following afternoon and follow the remains to the
Sumner cemetery.  The parents and brother came down from Hayward, about a
year ago, with the corpse of their daughter and sister, Anna, and laid her
away in Sumner cemetery and now the mother follows.  Oh, what sadness this
life brings to us; where shall we fly for relief?  In this life it is not to
be found, only as we loose sight of self and let the light of God control
our sinful hearts.
