She had been sick since the previous Wednesday, but was not considered serious and the news of her death Monday came as a shock to her many friends Villisca, for until Wednesday of last week she had assisted with the sick in the Rev. Menoher home. Victoria Higgins Powers was born in August 27, 1853. Her parents then lived on the Jas Carlisle farm, now the Davit Whitmyer place in southwest part of Villisca. The deceased had the distinction of being the FIRST WHITE GIRL BORN IN THIS COUNTY, her parents being the first of the early settlers to come here. At the time of her death she was sixty-five years old, six months, and thirteen days old. She was united in marriage to James Washington Powers, January 25, 1872, by M. Cowgill, then Justice of the Peace, at his farm home southwest of this city. Mr. Powers died October 3, 1906. One son and one daughter also preceded Mrs. Powers in death. The five surviving children are: H. A. and L. C. Powers of near Sciola; Mrs. Blanche Trueblood of this city, Mrs. O. C. Moates of Guss, and Mrs. John Brown of Embar, Wyoming. Three sisters and two brothers also survive. They are Mrs. M. P. Neal of southwest of Villisca, Chas Higgins of near Nodaway, Lum Higgins of Omaha, and Mrs. M. V. Roth and Mrs. Minerva Higgins of this city.
