Mrs. Elizabeth McGannon died at her home at
Okobojo last night. The
funeral will take place tomorrow.
Mrs. McGannon was 94 years and three months of age.
With her husband and family, Mrs. McGannon moved from Indiana to
Illinois in 1860 and from there to Yankton in the fall of 1882.
In the spring of 1883 they moved to Sully County and squatted on a
homestead, the land not being open to settlers until several weeks after
their arrival, and since then the family home has always been there.
She has two surviving sons Isaac and Reuben at Okobojo.
