Translation of obituary written in Illinois, USA
My ancestor was Emma Boos whose father was a policeman named Jacob Boos. This is her obituary from October 16, 1897. Some of it I can understand. She lived on Benton Street, she died at night, I think she was in her 60's when she died, she had 3 siblings. Any further help on translating is most appreciated. Thank you!

Hello @Susan Servatius Schlosser,
Translation:
Mrs. Emma Boos, née Fullmer, wife of former police officer Mr. Jacob Boos, died at her home on Benton Street at 12 o'clock Tuesday night as a result of a heart condition. The deceased was born in Freeport 42 years ago and was a good and honest woman in all respects. She had married Mr. Boos about 6 years ago and left behind her husband, 2 sons and a daughter, as well as a brother and 2 sisters. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon from the funeral home.
