obituary of Kittie Shay's mother

"Mrs. Elizabeth Sanderson passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Irwin, northwest of town, last Sunday. Deceased was a sufferer from abdominal cancer, which ultimately caused her death.
She came here about a month ago from Illinois to make her daughter a visit, and has steadily been failing in health since her arrival. She was born May 10, 1866
Funeral services were held at the Irwin home, northwest of town, at 12 o'clock noon, Monday last, and the body, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Irwin and a sister from Chicago, was shipped to Delavan Illinois, for burial."

As this obituary was clipped from the newspaper long ago, and no note was taken of the date or the name of the newspaper, that information remains a mystery.
