The Clinton Morning Age Tuesday April 9, 1895 Vol. 2 # 157 Mrs. D. Joyce's Death The Death Angel Could Not Be Stayed A Short Illness - Grief Over Her Husband's Death - A Charitable Life The Angel of Death entered the home of Mrs. D. Joyce, Sunday morning at 8 o'clock and wafted the soul of Mrs. Joyce across the silvery waters. Mrs. Joyce was born in LeRoy, N.Y. in 1829 and was 67 years of age. She was married to David Joyce in her native state and soon they started for the west to make their fortune and fully succeeded. Mr. Joyce was a lumber king and amassed a large fortune in the lumber business. Mr. Joyce died in Minneapolis, Dec. 4, 1894. His death was a great shock to his wife and ever since her grief has seemed greater than she could bear. The immediate couse of her death was heart disease. Mrs. Joyce was very charitable and every year she gave large amounts for benevolent purposes, in her gentle and quiet way. She had many true friends and her death has thrown a shadow of grief over many hearts. The date of the funeral has not yet been set, as a brother, in LeRoy, N.Y., is being waited for.
