[Obituary Transcript - Glenville Progress - 02-Feb-1911 LOUISA ANN BIGHLEY]
Louisa Ann Bighley was born November 2, 1870 at Gordonsville, Minnesota on the old home farm where she has always lived. She passed away at a hospital in St. Paul Sunday, January 29, 1911 at 3 a.m. and the body was brought home for burial. She leaves four brothers and two sisters besides many other relatives and friends, who feel that their loss is her eternal gain. The funeral services were held in the church at Gordonsville Tuesday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. Homer Tanner of Glenville, who used as his text Isaiah 40:6,7,8. The remains were laid to rest in the State Line cemetery beside the loved ones gone before. Since childhood Anna has been a constant sufferer, but she has borne her suffering with Christian fortitude. She was converted in 1884. During the last two months she experienced her most acute suffering but even in the hours of severest pain she never failed in thoughtfulness for others or to have a smile and pleasant word for all who called on her. We could repeat many of the beautiful things said of her, but we leave it for her life to tell, as we know would be her wish. She manifested the utmost faith in the Heavenly Father, and called on Him to help her bear the affliction He had seen fit to place upon her, and said to one beside her, "You ask the Lord to ease my pain and take me where father and mother are."
Please note that her Last Will and Testament gives her name as Anna Louisa
