CAVAN OBITS

Daily Times,
Davenport, Scott, Iowa, Jan 2, 1896
Mrs. Susan Brady, who has been a resident of Davenport for nearly half a
century, passed away last night at the family residence 1214 West Seventh
street. About five years ago she suffered an attack of la grippe, and although
she rallied sufficiently to be able to be up and around, she never fully
recovered from its effects. Her system had been greatly weakened by the
complications following the attack of la grippe and since Christmas, when she
was again prostrated, her condition had been such as to warrant no hope for her
recovery. The deceased was a native of Cootehill, County Cavan, Ireland, and was
born in 1820. She located in Davenport over forty years ago and her residence in
this city has been continuous since that time. Her husband died on Aug. 6 of
last year and two sons, Philip and John, both of this city, survive her.
The funeral will be held from St. Mary's church Saturday morning at 9 o'clock
and the interment will be made in the adjoining cemetery.

Mrs. J.H. Bryant
A Worthy and Highly Respected Lady Called to Her Long Best
Many
expressions of remorse and deep regret do we hear on all sides over the death of
Mrs. J.H. Bryant, who passed from this life to the better world on Sunday,
October 22nd, 1905, at her home east of Greene.
Mrs. Bryant had not been well for a long time, but was
confined to her bed only about three weeks before the final summons came. About
two weeks before her death she was taken to Rochester, Minn, for an operation,
but after a thorough diagnosis of her case was made this last hope was abandoned
and she returned home to await the end which must soon come, for the doctors had
discovered an internal cancer in an advanced stage. This she did with a
fortitude that was truly heroic, resignedly and patiently bowing to the will of
Him, who doeth all things well. Every comfort and cheer a devoted and loving
husband could bestow was provided and her last hours were as peaceful as anxious
and willing hands would make them.
The deceased was a member of the Presbyterian
church and a devout christian. Although far from well her pew was seldom vacant,
and she was always anxious and ready to do whatever she could for the
advancement of Christ's kingdom.
The funeral was held in the Presbyterian church on
Wednesday morning, Rev. Weinland, her pastor, conducting the services and the
remains were laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery.
A choir composed of Mrs. C.H. Williams, Miss Carrie
Trimble and Messrs. Lewis Ellis and Aaron Moss, with Miss Ethel Huckins as
organist, rendered soft, sweet music for the occasion, and Messrs. J. Kahuds,
S.A. Clark, D.H. Ellis, Wm. McDonald, Thos. Montgomery and Lewis Ellis acted as
pall bearers.
Margaret Anderson was born in Cootehill, county Cavan,
Ireland, December 15th, 1851. She was married to J.H. Bryant in New York City,
April 24th, 1882, and went to Minneapolis, where they made their home for a
time. They then moved to Sioux county, where they lived until about six years
ago, when they bought their farm home and have lived here ever since.
Besides her grief stricken husband she leaves to mourn
her irreparable loss two sisters and four brothers, Mrs. M.A. Canning, Mrs. A.
Marsden, Jas. and William Anderson, all of Hendrum, Minn., Thos. Anderson of
Minneapolis and John Anderson of Greene, the three former and the latter being
present at the funeral.

Mr. Collins was born in the county of Cavan,

married at Newcastle England, in 1858, to Miss Margaret Minney. Mr. and
Mrs. Collins came to the United States in 1863. They located at Mahoney
Plans, Pennsylvania, residing there until 1877, when they came west. For
two years they made their home at New Hartford, this state, later they
spent a year at Holland, Iowa, and in 1882 came to Emmetsburg. Mr. Collins
followed railroading for many years but was
finally forced to retire on account of his waning physical powers. Six
sons and six daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Collins. Four sons and
four daughters are dead and the good wife and mother was called to here

Mr. Collins was an honest, high minded man and he
led a most edifying life. He was temperate in his habits and he had a high
regard for those who observe conscientiously the precepts of religion and
laws that govern society. He was quiet and humble and he gave close
attention to the care of his family and his private business affairs. He
was an agreeable, peaceful man and he always did what he could to promote
good feeling among his neighbors. Though he had limited educational
advantages when young, he read newspapers and books regularly and closely
and he kept well informed on local and general topics. A warm hearted
conscientious, loyal old christian gentleman has been taken to a brighter,
better, world. His memory will long be revered by all who knew him. The
sympathy of all is extended to the sons
and daughters.
