The remains of Mrs. Charles Carey arrived from Kimball, S.D., at 1:57 a.m. today via the B.C.R. & N., accompanied by her son, E.F. Carey, of this city, and interment occurred inmmediately in Fairview cemetery by the side of her son. She died at 4 a.m. Wednesday, and the funeral took place at the Methodist church of Kimball at 5 p.m. the same day in order to comply with a new law of the State Board of Health, enabling one to ship the remains out of that state. Rev. Smith officiated and the funeral was largely attended. The husband of deceased was carried to the church to witness the services, but was in such poor health that the preacher had to shorten the exercises on his account. The cause of death was due to an attack of bilious fever turning into jaundice by the contraction of a cold.

Deceased's maiden name was Eunice L. Nicholson. She was born Oct. 31, 1829, in Essex Co., N.Y. When six years of age she moved with her parents to Cleveland, Ohio, living there until the age of 13, when she moved with her parents to the frontier of Wisconsin. She was married to Charles Carey in 1851 at Oak Creek, Wis. In 1869 they moved to his state, settling at New Hampton first and then at Waterloo in 1872. The family lived twelve years on the east side, moving to Dakota in 1884. Six children were born to them, one son being drowned in the Cedar river July 28, 1877, aged 18 years. There are three living children--Mrs. B.H. Hellen, of Minneapolis; John D. Carey, of Milwaukee, and E.F. Carey of this city. John is sick abed and was unable to attend the death bed of his mother or be at the funeral. Charles Carey is aslo in very poor health, and his daughter, Mrs. Hellen, will remain with him until he gets stong enough to go with her to her home at Minneapolis, where he will live.

Mrs. Carey was a general favorite among the people of Kimball. Old and young found in her a true friend, and their lives were lighted by her pleasant smiles and kind words. Mr. E.F. Carey desires us for him to thank the good people of Kimball for their uniform kindness and help in the death and funeral arrangements of his mother.
