         "Maquoketa, July 3, 1874,
       The means of my death is my two girls NANCY and SAKE, they
       are lying about me and mother, doing all they can to hurt
       us in every way; they have stole everything they can get
       hold of. - I want the world to know what I die for. I want
       this put into the paper for people to read. NANK has been
       more trouble to us than the rest put them all together.
       She was always a devil. 
           - D. R. CONERY."
