McKiNLEY
Died, at the residence of his son, John McKINLEY, in Grand Meadow twp., on

years, 10 months and 9 days.  Deceased was born in Ireland, Mar. 25, 1804.
He was united in marriage to Nancy MORRISON in 1827 and enjoyed 53 years of
wedded life.  Eight sons blessed this union, five of whom survive him, John
& James of Clayton Co., William of Chicago, Alex of Clermont and Archie of
Forest Hill, Cal.  He emigrated to New York at an early day and later to
Iowa, coming here in 1863, where he has since resided.  He lead a truly
christian life, and came as near the ideal man as it is possible for human
frailty to approach. During his last moments when it was difficult to
determine to which world he belonged, being speechless yet conscious, his
eyes directed upward, immortality and glory were the imprints on his
countenance, and muttering passages of scripture all at once the 'weary
wheels of life stood still.'

DILLON

The Gazette
Davenport, Scott, Iowa
Sep 18, 1845

Obituary
In this place on Thursday last, Mr. Timothy DILLON, aged 67 years. He was a
native of Ireland, but emigrated at an early age to New York. In 1839 he
removed to this place, and here lived until the morning above named, when he
departed for a fairer clime.
Mr. DILLON was a good citizen, an affectionate relative, and a consistent
christian. For more than forty years he was a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and amid all the vicissitudes of life, he maintained his
integrity. His last illness was painful, but he bore it with christian
fortitude; he knew that God was thus loosening the ropes, and taking up the
stakes of his earthly tabernacle, in order to his removal an eternal home.
His friends have to mourn over this work of the Destroyer, but they may not
"mourn as those without hope."
His fight is fought, his faith has reached the end, firm to Heaven's his
glance, his heart ascend, There with the judge he saw his crown remain, and
if to live was Christ, to die was gain.

The Father of Will and J.J. O'Connor Who Live Near Curlew
(Pocahontas Democrat)

     On Wednesday, Dec. 2, 1925 at 8:00 a.m., James O'Connor, one of the few pioneer settlers of Pocahontas county, age 84 years, died at his home nine miles southwest of Pocahontas where he was faithfully cared for the past few years by his son, Art.
     Mr. O'Connor was a native of Ireland, and came to this country in 1865 while still a young man. After arriving in America he spent most of his early manhood days in Illinois, and in the vicinity of Des Moines, Iowa.
     In April, 1872, he was united in marriage to Margaret Jane Durigan, who preceded him in death, March 17, 1923. This union was blessed with eleven children, four sons and seven daughters, nine of whom still survive him. The oldest daughter, Mary, died at the age of three, and Cecelia, Mrs. C. Dillard, died February 4, 1916.
     About forty-five years ago James O'Connor came to this county and since then has lived on the same farm in Grant township. He understood pioneer life to the fullest extent, for the country was a vast wilderness when he arrived here, and he had many difficulties and inconveniences to contend with in the new country, but he worked on patiently.
     For the past few years Mr. James O'Connor has been on the decline, but it was not until the last two weeks that he was confined to his bed. From then on all care and medical skill were unable to stay the hand of death...

McCULLION GRADY

Iowa Recorder; Greene, Butler, Iowa; May 25,1904

Last Wednesday morning, May 18th, at 6 o'clock occurred the death of Mrs. Rose Grady, after weeks of intense suffering. Miss Rose McCullion was born in Ireland August 25th, fifty-nine years ago. When she was two years of age her parents moved to Baltimore, Maryland, and shortly after moved to Ohio. When in her twelfth year her parents located in Cedar Falls. In 1862 occurred her marriage, her husband having been deceased since 1894. Three children were born to these parents, one daughter dying at seven years of age, the two surviving daughters being Mrs. L. E. Bourquin and Mrs. G.W. Wild. Mrs. Grady has lived in New Hartford for the past sixteen years, leaving her home some four or five months ago to undergo a difficult operation in the hope of restoring her failing health. Soon after she was brought to the home of Mrs. L.E. Bourquin, that a daughter's loving care and tender ministration might aid in the recovery so hoped for. Throughout the long weeks both daughters have been in almost constant attendance at her bedside and their self-sacrificing devotion is the best testimony as to how their mother fulfilled the duties of wife and parent. Mrs.Grady was a life long member of the Catholic church and was buried from the church of that faith in New Hartford Friday morning, May 20th, at 9 o'clock, Father Baxter conducting the services.

MONTGOMERY

CLAIMED BY DEATH
Mr. Thomas Montgomery Passes Away at His Home in This City

     Thomas Montgomery died at his home in Greene, Iowa, March 9th, 1906, aged 63 years, 10 months, and 10 days.
     With gentle hand and friendly guidance the Angel of Death has again come among us and lead away one who was loved and respected by all to his long home.
     Thomas Montgomery was born April 27th, 1842, at Enniskillen, Ireland, where he lived until he was twenty years of age, coming to America in 1862 and locating at Seneca Falls, N.Y. On January 1st, 1863, he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Irwin of that city and August 1st, 1864, death robbed him of his helpmate, after less than two years happiness. At Westfield, Wisconsin, August 4th, 1867, he was married to Miss Jane Montgomery, who survives him. To this happy union four children were born, three of whom are still living: Mrs. John Boggs, Mrs.R.H.Volland, and Miss Bertha Montgomery. Besides his immediate family he leaves one brother, Robert Montgomery of this city, besides several cousins in various points in Ireland and America.
     The deceased has always lived in the enjoyment of good health, although he has passed through several severe illnesses. His final trouble seemed to begin about two years ago, when he was attacked by an extremely painful sickness, and has not been in his usual good health since, and, although not confined to his bed, he has been ailing all winter.
     About a month ago he went down to Iowa City to see a physician, hoping to gain some knowledge of his disease, and, if necessary, to undergo an operation. After a careful consideration of his case he was told that they could do nothing for him, his malady being pronounced cancer to the liver, and was sent home to die.
     Although confidently assured that he might live one month, and possibly three, it was only just one short week after his return until he was called upon to answer the summons, "come up higher."
     Mr. Montgomery united with the Episcopal church at Seneca Falls in 1863, and remained a faithful member of that denomination until a couple of years ago when he joined the Presbyterian church of this city, and was a member of the board of trustees at the time of his death. He was a kind and loving husband and father, a good friend and neighbor, one who attended strictly to his own personal affairs, with enmity toward none and charity for all. And they who mourn likewise rejoice for they know the life he led was no truce with God, but a sacred communion, in which there was no room for doubts or fears, and that his spirit was ever ready for the Master's call.
     The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church on Monday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. S.D. McFadden of Des Moines, a former pastor and close friend of the deceased. The church was filled with old friends and neighbors, who came to pay their last tribute of respect. The Masonic, Easter Star and Odd Fellows orders, all of which Mr. Montgomery was a member, attended in body, the Masons taking charge of the services at the close of the sermon. The floral offerings were many and beautiful showing, in a measure, the love and sympathy of the many friends of the family. After most impressive ceremonies at the grave all that was mortal of Thomas Montgomery was laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery. The following gentlemen aced as pall bearers: R. Miner, A.Y. Trimble, E.A. Curtis, H.M. Sprout, M. Woodling and L.J. Stober.
     Those from out of town who were in attendance at the funeral were: Mrs. R.M. Volland, of Iowa City; Arthur and Robert Montgomery, Estherville, and James Montgomery, Wilmont, Minn

Mrs. C. Gates, Sr., Called
One of the Oldest Residents of Floyd County Answers Summons of Death

     The Recorder last week chronicled the condition of Mrs. C. Gates, Sr., mother of Senator Gates, Henry Gates and Albert Gates and Mrs. B.F. Hoil, all living in and close to Greene. Her broken arm and other conditions was more than her extreme age and failing constitution could bear up under for long and peaceful rest and the end of a long life came at ten o'clock, Friday morning, May 22, 1910.
      Mrs. Gates had been a lifelong member of the Catholic church and the funeral was held at St. Mary's church in this city on Sunday morning, Father Sheehy conducting the services.
     The remains were taken to Marble Rock and placed by the side of those of her husband buried there about ten years ago.
     The pall bearers were the younger members of the Gates families, two sons of Henry Gates, two from the Albert Gates home, Charley Hoil and John Gates were those chosen to bear the coffin and remains of their grandmother to the last resting place.
     Mrs. Gates was born in Ireland and came to this country when a young girl. Was married to Charles Gates in New York. In 1855 they moved to Iowa and settled at Marble Rock and a few years later they moved on a farm part way between Greene and Marble Rock on the west side of the Shell Rock river. Here they resided in peace and comfort until the death of Mr. Gates some ten years ago. Her daughter, Mrs. Hoil went to her mother's home and has devotedly cared for her ever since. For a long time Mrs. Gates would not leave the old home, but finally sickness and declining years were telling on her and she was persuaded to come to Greene and live at her daughter's home. This she did, though very reluctantly. A small portion of the time was spent at the home of her son, Senator Gates. Seemingly she could not find contentment though everything possible was done for her by those who loved and pitied her.
     In her younger days Mrs. Gates was a lady who had many acquaintances in her neighborhood. Highly respected and a good Christian mother, ever striving for the good and comfort of her family and friends.
     The Recorder joins the many in expressing condolence for the sorrowing ones.

Note.
     Data at hand this morning gives the following: Julia Casey was born May 12, 1829, in Ireland, came to this country at the age of 19. Was married to Charles Gates in Rochester, New York in 1855 and moved to Marble Rock that same year. George Gates of Marble Rock is a member of the family being omitted from the names above.

     Martin Muldown Passes Away
     After an illness of several years duration, Martin Muldown, one of the oldest settlers of Riverton, died at his home six miles southwest of Nashua, Tuesday morning, aged 78 years.
     About eleven years ago a cancer first made its appearance back of Mr. Muldown's ear. It gradually grew more and more troublesome until he was finally compelled to give up his work on the farm. Eventually he became confined to his home and it had been eight years or more since he had been seen upon the streets of Nashua. His sufferings during all these years had been intense, but all that loving hands could do was done to alleviate his pain and make the few remaining years of his life brighter and more comfortable. At 4:30 o'clock Tuesday morning the spirit of the weary sufferer returned to its Maker.
     The deceased was born in Ireland. When twelve years of age he came to America settling in Wisconsin, and later came to Nashua, Iowa. He was united in marriage to Miss Mary Feeney who with the five children who blessed this union, survive him. The children are as follows: Mrs. J.P. Coughlin, of Perham, Minn., Ben, of Toterville, Bird, Owen and Mrs. Tom Kelly, of Nashua, all of whom excepting the two former were with him in his dying moments. Mrs. Muldown has lived in the home wherein he died for the past forty-five years and by the friends and neighbors with whom he had been associated all these years he was well thought of for he proved himself to be a good and true citizen. In his family he was a good and kind husband and father.
     The funeral will be held from the Catholic church at 10 a.m., Friday, Rev. Fr. Kunkel conducting the services and the interment will be at St. Michael's cemetery.

Wife Follows Husband Death
Mrs. Wm. Campbell Passed Away at Home of Daughter in Waverly Saturday, April 2

     Another pioneer mother of this community closed her eyes upon earthly scenes last Saturday and passed on to her eternal reward.
    Mrs. Wm. Campbell was born in Ireland, December 16, 1844, and grew to womanhood in her native country. Here she was married to Wm Campbell on September 2, 1864.
     After living in Ireland for a while they came to America, settling near De Kalb, Illinois.
    About forty-two years ago they moved from Illinois to Iowa where they took up the duties of life upon a farm near Republic and remained here as long as they were able to attend the strenuous duties of farm life.
     As the years crept upon them and infirmities of age began to manifest, they purchased a home in Nashua where they lived together for fourteen years, until the death of her husband, December 23, 1926, since which time the home was broken up, and she has been dividing her time among the sons, Tim of Nashua and Sam of Waverly.
     It was at the latter's home that she passed into deaths long dreamless sleep on Saturday, April 2, 1927, having been confined to her bed but ten days. During this time and all through her sickness she received the best of care and everything that loving, willing hands could do was done. Her daughter and son were summoned on Thursday last when she seemed to take a turn for the worst.
     The deceased was afflicted with leakage of the heart and Bright's disease, and these, aggravated by the infirmities of old age were the cause of her death.
     Mrs. Campbell had lived a true christian life, having been brought up by christian parents and after moving to Republic became a member of the Christian church there, and her daughter and her sons have those dear memories to look back upon in their hour of sadness.
     The survivors of her family are one daughter, Mrs. Anna Tucker, of Nashua, and four sons, Tom of Nashua, Sam of Waverly and Will of Kasson, Minn., and Elmer of Elma.
     The funeral was held at the Methodist Church of Nashua, on Tuesday, April 5 at 11 a.m. and the body was taken to Alcock cemetery near Frederika to rest beside her husband.

MRS. MIKE LOY.
     Mrs. Loy had been very feeble for the past few years, but was about the house the day she died. However, she had not been as well as usual the past few days. She prepared a part of the dinner meal, her husband finishing it, and after partaking of it, her husband led her up to the bedroom, and she lay down upon the bed. Mr. Loy then lay down upon a lounge in another room to take a nap. About an hour later he woke and on going to his wife's room was horrified to find her lying there cold in death.
     Margaret White was born in Ireland and was 80 years old the third day of June, 1910.
