A previous transcription from another source was in edited and paraphrased form: Fairfield Ledger March 3, 1886 Pg. 3 Col. 4 Death of Nellie Messick. Miss Nellie May Messick, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Messick, died at her home in this city Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. She had not been in good health for perhaps two years past, but her condition was not considered dangerous. About a year ago she had a slight hemorrhage of the lungs, but was not troubled again until the Monday before her death, when she was again attacked almost without warning, and another hemorrhage on Thursday ended her young life. Miss Messick was in the 20th year of her age. She was a bright, pretty, intelligent girl, and bore the love of a wide circle of friends. Her death, coming so suddenly, was a terrible shock to the family, and the sympathy of many friend goes out to them. The funeral occurred Sabbath at 2 o'clock, Rev. M.E. Dwight conducting the services. The remains were interred in the City Cemetery.
