M'KEE.
    The wide circle of friends of Mrs. Charles McKee of 810 LeClaire street were deeply pained Saturday morning by the news of her death, which occurred at 1:35 a.m. Mrs. McKee had been ailing for a couple of weeks past, but it was only about a week ago that her condition became serious, owing to her ailment developing into an attack of pneumonia. Nevertheless her family did not give up hope of her recovery, so that her demise was a sad shock to them at last.
    About the bedside of the expiring Christian mother were gathered those who were dear to her, among them a daughter who had devoted her life to religion, Sister Mary Linus, who had come from Milwaukee to be present at the last solemn hour. The surviving members of the family are the husband, Mr. Charles McKee, six daughters, Mrs. Edward Byrne, Mrs. Pasqual Puccinelli, Misses Sarah and Lizzie McKee, Mrs. Chas. McDonough, and Sister Mary Linus, and a son George McKee of Memphis.
    Mrs. McKee was born in county Down, Ireland, Sept. 29, 1827, so that she was 60 years, 5 months, and 9 days old. She was a resident of Davenport for the past 36 years. Her gentleness and kind hearted ways made her hosts of friends, who will join with the bereaved family in mourning her loss.
    The funeral will take place tomorrow (Monday), with services at Sacred Heart cathedral at 9 o'clock. Interment will be made at St. Marguerite's cemetery.

MICHAEL RENIHAN.
    Yesterday morning at 8:30 o'clock Mr. Michael Renihan, one of Davenport's oldest and most respected citizens, breathed his last at his home at 649 East Thirteenth Street. Mr. Renihan's death was quite unexpected, as for the past few days he seemed to have a change for the better, so that hopes were entertained of his recovery. Late Friday night, however, his condition changed for the worse, and he grew constantly weaker until the hour of his death on Saturday morning. All the members of his family were with him in his last moments, and he retained consciousness until the end. His son, Richard, who had been pursuing his studies at St. Vincent's college, Cape Girardeau, Mo., was home for the Christmas holidays, so that thus the family circle by the bedside of the dying husband and father was complete. A severe attack of the grippe was the cause of death. He was confined to his bed only a little more than a week, so that the news of his demise came as a shock to his many friends who did not suspect the gravity of his illness.
    Michael Renihan was born in Ireland in the County Tipperary in 1828. He came to New York City in 1852, and coming out west he settled in Davenport in 1851. Since then he has carried on an extensive contracting business with great success. In 1856 he was married to Ellen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Tobin, of Long Grove. Mr. Renihan had seven children, two of whom, Patrick and Richard, died years ago, and five of whom, Mary, Matthew, Rachel, James and Richard are left to mourn his loss, as also his wife, who survives the partner of her wedded life. The happiest day in Mr. Renihan's recent years was July 25, 1891, for on that day his son James was ordained a priest by Rt. Rev. Bishop Cosgrove, in St. Marguerite's Cathedral. Mr. Renihan's son was the first Davenport youth to enter the ranks of the priesthood and his declining years were doubtless gladdened by the knowledge.
    Mr. Renihan has three surviving brothers, Matthew of this city, William and James in Ireland, and one sister, Mrs. John Halligan, of this city.
    Those with whom Mr. Renihan carried on his business, covering a period of forty years, found him a true and tried, honorable and upright man. His death will cause sorrow to many, who knew his sterling qualities, and his strict performance of his duties to his family and his faith.
    The funeral services will take place at Sacred Heart cathedral tomorrow (Monday) morning, where a Solemn High Mass will be said at 9 o'clock. Interment will be in St. Marguerite's cemetery.

QUINN

    At thirty minutes past the noon hour of Holy Saturday there passed away into the sleep of death one of Davenport's old and respected residents, Mrs. Mary Quinn. Her death took place at the residence of her son, James Quinn, 2005 Gaines street.
    Mrs. Quinn's life had almost reached the century mark, falling short of it by less than five months. She was born in the county Galway, Ireland, on August 20, 1793, consequently being 99 years, 7 months and 12 days old. The nigh one hundred years of her life covered the most stirring and most important period in the history of both her native country, Ireland, and her adopted country, the United States. She was five years old at the time of the rebellion of '98, seven when the Irish parliament was destroyed by the act of Union, ten when Robert Emmett was executed and thirty-six when O'Connell carried Catholic emancipation. George Washington was just beginning his second term the year Mrs. Quinn was born, and since then the long line of his successors have played their part in American history and the second war with England, the Mexican and the Civil war have passed into the annals of history. The century marked by Mrs. Quinn's life, which ceased to be on the eve of the great feast of the Resurrection is in truth one of the most wonderful in the annals of the human race.
    On the 11th day of April, 1849, almost 44 years, Mrs. Quinn came to this state, where she made her home ever since. She made many friends during her long residence here, who admired her noble quality of mind and heart. Three children survive to mourn her loss: James Quinn, who is a well-known and highly  esteemed citizen of Davenport, Peter Quinn of Butler township in this county and Mrs. Allen, who is in California.
    The funeral services took place Monday at 9 o'clock at St. Mary's church. Interment was in St. Marguerite cemetery.

SAD TIDINGS
Death of Old Resident of Davenport at Cloquet Minn.
     Saturday morning W.P. Halligan received a telegram from Cloquet, Minn., conveying the sad tidings of the death of Patrick Cavanaugh, superintendent of the Cloquet Lumber Company. Mr. Cavanaugh's home was in this city, and he spent the Christmas vacation here being then apparently in excellent health. The cause of death was heart failure.
     Patrick Cavanaugh was born in Queen's County, Ireland, Aug. 6, 1827, so that he was in his seventy second year. He came to this country and was married in Louisville, coming to Davenport a couple of years later, on July 2, 1856. He was an engineer and was first employed at the old J.M.D. Burrow's mill at the foot of Perry street, well known to all old residents of this city. After he was engineer of the French and Davies saw mill, later the J.L. Davies mill. After Mr. Davies' death, he went to the Renwick, Shaw and Crossett mill, where he remained until the firm retired from business. Then he went with Geo. S. Shaw to Cloquet, Minn., for the Cloquet Lumber company. This was about fifteen years ago. For the last five or six years Mr. Cavanaugh was superintendent of the mill.
     Mr. Cavanaugh was a very active and energetic in his chosen field of labor. He was an upright and respected citizen and had the esteem of all who knew him. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife Mrs. Mary Cavanaugh, one daughter, Mrs. W.P. Halligan, and one son, John E. Cavanaugh, who was in Cloquet at the time of his father's death, he also being connected with the lumber interests in that region. Four sisters also survive, Miss Ann Cavanaugh, Mrs. Patrick Sheahan, and Mrs. Henry Hansen, all of this city and Mrs. Robert Moran of Waterbury, Conn.
     The remains will arrive in Davenport Monday morning via the Rock Island railway at 5:42 o'clock. The funeral will take place Tuesday morning from the family home, 702 Farnum street with services at Sacred Heart Cathedral at 9 o'clock. Interment will be in St. Marguerite's cemetery.

A PIONEER GONE
Death of a Respected Resident of Davenport for Fifty-Three Years.

     All of the old settlers of this city and county as well as those of a later day, will hear with regret the announcement of the death of Walter Kelly, an old and respected resident of Davenport, which took place at 9:50 o'clock Wednesday morning at his residence Iowa street. Mr. Kelly came here in 1840, fifty-three years ago, so that he belonged to the original "pioneer," who include all those who settled in this locality before Dec. 31, 1840. His death therefore is the snapping of another link of the living chain that joins Davenport's past and present together.
     In 1840, when Mr. Kelly came to this city, it numbered only about 500 inhabitants and Scott county about 2,500. Chicago was five days distant and it took thirteen days to get from here to New York. Iowa was then a territory having been cut off from Wisconsin only two years previous, and it did not become a state for six years after Mr. Kelly settled in this community. These few items will show to Davenporters of the present generation the state of affairs then existing in this part of Iowa.
     The deceased pioneer was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, on June 29, 1814, so that the time of his demise he was aged 79 years, 4 months and 23 days. He came to this country in September, 1835, the same fall that Antoine LeClaire, Col. George Davenport and six others met and decided to lay out a town site for Davenport. Mr. Kelly had two brothers living in Detroit, one being a Catholic priest, Rev. Patrick Kelly, and the other named Michael. He accordingly went to Detroit, where he remained for three years, there learning his trade as a moulder. After this he went to Chicago, where he worked at his trade for two years, thence coming in 1840 to Davenport, where he had been preceded for a couple of years by two other brothers, James and Thomas, whose presence in this city determined his coming here.
     Mr. Kelly engaged in such occupations as Davenport afforded in those early days, for a dozen years, part of the time working in the packing house of Burrows & Prettyman. In 1852 he entered into partnership with a namesake, though no relative, Bartholomew Kelly, under the firm name of B. & W. Kelly. The firm conducted a general business, handling various lines of goods, and their store was one of the most extensive and handsomely equipped in the state. It occupied what old settlers knew as the Bazaar  block, corner of Front and Brady streets, directly south of the present wholesale house of J.F. Kelly & Co.
     In 1857 the firm of B. & W. Kelly was dissolved and Walter Kelly and James Roche entered another, which lasted for a short time, however, Mr. Roche retiring, and Mr. Kelly continuing the business as sole proprietor. In 1884 Mr. Kelly retired from business. He had accumulated by his industry and energy an honorable competence and the last decade of his life was thus one of well-deserved leisure and contentment.
     Mr. Kelly was married Feb. 5, 1845, to Miss Mary McNamara, the ceremony being performed by the reverend Father John A. Pelamourges at St. Anthony's church. Mrs. Kelly survives the partner of her wedded life for almost half a century. The children who also survive are John F. and William F. Kelly, the members of the wholesale house of J.F. Kelly & Co., Thos. E. Kelly and Mrs. E.T. Rohm, of this city, and Mrs. J.S. Stiles and Mrs. E.W. Gale of Chicago.
     Mr. Kelly was a quiet and unassuming citizen and though his claims on the community entitled him to political honors, he did not seek them. He consented only once to stand for an office, being elected alderman for the Fifth ward in 1862, serving two years during the mayoralty of Hon. Geo. W. French. Mr. Kelly's venture proved uniformly lucrative, so that from a financial standpoint his business career was crowned with success. Furthermore in his sons and daughters he leaves behind him a legacy of honored and influential members of society.
     The funeral took place Saturday with services at St. Anthony's church at 9 o'clock. Interment was in St. Marguerite's cemetery.

OBITUARY

HALLIGAN
     At the family residence, 725 Perry street, today at 1:40 a.m. occurred the death of an old and respected resident of Davenport, Patrick J. Halligan. His demise is a sad shock to his family, coming entirely unforeseen as the result of an accident. Last Saturday about 1 o'clock Mr. Halligan was going north on Harrison street, and on reaching Fourth street noticed a wagon coming along in his direction just as he started to cross. His vision being impaired in one eye by senile cataract, he failed to notice a horse driven to a buggy coming in an opposite direction. He advanced therefore and the buggy horse dashed against Mr. Halligan with great force, hurling him violently to the pavement, his head striking against the iron step at the crossing, cutting an ugly gash vertically down the forehead through the eyebrow, and inflicting a severe contusion on the cheek. Mr. Halligan was helped to his feet by sympathetic bystanders and removed to his home, where medical skill was summoned to his aid. On complaining of severe pain in his chest, he was examined thoroughly, and no ribs were found fractured, neither were there any external signs of the terrific blow he had received on the right side from the moving horse. He, with the family, desired nothing said about the occurrence, as it was evident that it was entirely accidental and as no serious results were expected. Wednesday, however, heart weakness suddenly developed, induced by the congested state of the lungs, occasioned by the shock, and a rapid decline followed until death occurred as stated.
     Mr. Halligan was the son of John and Mary Young Halligan, who after their marriage moved from England, the county of their birth, to Ireland, locating at Summerhill, Meath county, Ireland. Here the lately deceased was born, on Aug. 31, 1825, and remained until his twenty-fourth year. At the age of twenty he left the Episcopal fold and became a Catholic, adhering to that faith the rest of his life. He left the old country in 1819, arriving in New York on July 15. He was married the next year, on Oct. 27, 1849, in Patterson, N.J., going thence to Peru, Ill. After two years he came to Davenport, arriving here on Aug. 17, 1853. After a few years passed in other occupations, Mr. Halligan entered the employ of the Davenport Gas company, where he remained for about thirty years as collector and general foreman. There survive to mourn his loss his wife and six children, John, James, Thomas, William, Mary and Joseph.
     The funeral takes place Friday morning with services at Sacred Heart Cathedral at 9 o'clock. Interment in St. Marguerite's cemetery.

In 1855 the family came to Iowa and settled on a farm at Big Rock where the son still resides. In 1864 she with her husband and daughter removed to Davenport where she has resided ever since. Her husband died in 1874. Mrs. Tinnian is survived by four children, one son Jerome, who is still living on the farm in Big Rock and three daughters Mrs. L.H. Schneider, Mrs. P. Roseberry and Katie Tinnian, all of this city.
     The funeral will be held from the family residence, 730 Kay street, tomorrow morning at 8:30 o'clock with services at St. Anthony's church at 9 o'clock and interment in the St. Marguerite's cemetery.

----- Original Message -----
From: William Bonville

Her maiden name was Dolphin, born and raised in Kileenadeema Parish, County Galway.

Her husband's name was Nicholas.   Other source (burial permit) says she lived at  730 Case St.  I suspect obit may be wrong in that regard.   Also, the daughter identified as Mrs. P. Roseberry, was Tavasa, aka Teresa, who had married Caleb Engle, was widowed, and who at that time was married to a Peter Prosperi.  The other daughter's given name was Mary.  Katie died a few months later of consumption.

I believe Nicholas was a first cousin to the Tannian brothers who settled in Brandon and Pittsford, VT, in  1834, and who took  in Nicholas and his family at the time of the famine when they migrated --- Nicholas and the older children first, then Bridget and the youngest in 1849.

You will be interested to see the following name records: Nicholas Tannian was Tennien on 1850 Pittsford, VT, census; Tinnian is spelling used in son's obit and by family today, Tanian was used in the biographical sketch of his son, Jerome,  in 1879; and in  Kileenadeema church records we find Tannyhan in marriage record; Tennahan in Jerome's birth record.

DIES WHILE PICNICKING AT CAMP NEAR LECLAIRE WITH OVER 50 FRIENDS

     Louis Angelo, well known Davenporter and for over 30 years an employe of the John Kosgard meat market at 115 West Second street, passed away while he was picnicking with over 50 friends at a camp near LeClaire at 7:30 o'clock last night. 
     Angelo has been suffering for a number of years with heart trouble and asthma and it is believed that the fumes from the tile works were the cause of his death. A doctor was summoned immediately but he passed away before medical assistance arrived. 
     According to several members of the party, Angelo had driven the Kosgard care to the picnic and on arriving there he said that he felt ill. While lying under a tree he was fanned by Mrs. Kosgard, who believed that the illness was only temporary and not dangerous.
     "I am going to die," Angelo is said to have told friends who were seated about him. Due to the fact that his condition at that time did not seem serious, his friends thought that he was jesting.
     Angelo had been making his home with the Kosgards since he came here from Bulgaria over 15 years ago. He had made many friends while here and was employed at the Kosgard market as a sausage maker and meat cutter.
     There are no survivors. A few days before his death he told friends that he had no relatives in this country or in Bulgaria.
     Had Angelo lived he would have been 42 years old today. He was born in Bulgaria in 1880 and came directly from Bulgaria to Davenport in 1908.
     Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon from the Stapleton funeral parlors. Burial will be made in St. Marguerite's cemetery.

RACE WITH DEATH LOST ON LAST LAP
Thomas Heeney Dies at Council Bluffs on Way Here for Operation
     Speeding toward Davenport on a fast train from his home in Denver for an operation at Mercy Hospital here, another race with death was lost on the last lap this morning when Thomas F. Heeney, prominent contractor of Denver, while coming into Council Bluffs at 3 o'clock sank back in his seat dead. Unnatural pressure on the heart caused by an abscess is attributed to have been the cause of death.
     For some time during the past Heeney, who was over 52 years old, had been ailing. He was being  brought here as speedily as possible for an operation at Mercy Hospital. The hospital ambulance was waiting at the C.R.I. & P. Ry. station here when the train conveying the dead body of the patient arrived. A short time prior to the man's death he was talking to his brother, John Heeney of
this city, who was accompanying him from his home. He was sitting up in a Pullman seat, when he suddenly stiffened. He was dead when his brother turned.
     The body of the man was carried straight across state from Council Bluffs to Davenport.
     Mr. Heeney was a prominent contractor in Denver and had contracted for a large part of the city's business during the past few years. He has been there many years.
     When he became ill, for the first time about four weeks ago, he sent to Davenport for his brother, John Heeney, who left for that city several weeks ago. The Davenporter disposed of much of the aparatus owned by his brother before starting for this city, where an operation was to have been performed.
     The body was taken to the Halligan parlors and later to the home of his brother, John Heeney, 606 West Seventeenth street, from where the funeral will be held at 8:30 o'clock Sunday morning, with services at 9 o'clock at St. Anthony's church. Interment will be made in St. Marguerite's cemetery.
     Deceased was born Jan. 2, 1861, in New York city. The survivors are his wife, Mrs. Ada Heeney, four sons, Thomas, Paul, Elmer, and Ira Heeney, and three daughters, the Misses Florence, Blanche, and Dorothy Heeney of Denver. His mother, Mrs. Mary Heeney of this city, three sisters, Mrs. Bridget Lee of Bennett, Ia, Mrs. Katherine Kruse of this city and Mrs. Mary Burnes of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Frank, John, and Hugh of Davenport.

     While Coroner W.F. Kelley was preparing to conduct an inquest , authorities were engaged in investigating the death of John J. Heaney, 59, 1526 Marquette street, found dead at the foot of a stairway in an apartment house at 619 West Sixth street Tuesday afternoon. A post-mortum examination indicated death was caused by a skull fracture incurred when Heaney fell downstairs.
     A passerby noted a man lying near the open front door of the apartment building and notified a tenant who summoned police.
     It was reported that Heaney was a friend of a man living on the second floor of the apartment and that he  had evidently gone to his friend's apartment only to find there was no one home. It was believed he was descending the stairway when he tripped and fell, striking on his head and face.
     While authorities were inclined to believe death was by accidental means, an inquest was ordered as part of the investigation. It was believed Heaney's body lay at the foot of the stairs for some time before it was discovered. However, the nature of the injury was such that he would probably have died had he been given prompt medical attention, for the front part of his skull was crushed.

BORN IN MISSOURI
     Born November 3, 1876 in St. Louis, Missouri, he came to Davenport with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Philip Heaney, at the age of two years. On February 10, 1908, he was married to Miss Christian Johannason in Sioux city, Iowa, by the Reverend J.M. McCarthy. They continued living there for ten years, returning to Davenport fifteen years ago. Mr. Heaney was a member of the Modern Woodmen.
     Surviving are his wife, and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Dunn and Miss Nellie Heaney, Davenport.
     The body was taken to the Fred N. Ruhl funeral home where funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Friday. Burial will be in St. Marguerite's cemetery.

MAY FOLEY MAY BE DROWNED IN RIVER
Parents Claim She Has Been Missing from Home Since Thursday Evening

     Miss May Foley, aged 17, residing at 414 East Eighth street, may be dead, as indications point to the fact that she is probably the girl who met her death in the Mississippi river Thursday night. The scream and the cry for help have brought no further clues regarding the missing girl, except the story told the police by the girl's parents, who have not seen her since Thursday night.
     It is thought that Miss Foley is the young woman who met her death by either falling off the government bridge or by being thrown from the bridge by the two men who were seen to leave the structure about the time of the occurrence. No trace of them has been found, and their connection with the tragedy can only be guessed at.
     The story told by the girl's mother is to the effect that May entertained company on the front porch of her home until about 11 o'clock Thursday evening and then entered the house. She did not retire, as her bed was untouched. She left the house by way of the back door. Nothing has been seen or heard of her since then. The description of the girl who entered the bridge from this end as given by the guard corresponds in every detail with that given by the missing girl's mother. A further investigation will be made, but it is likely that no
more dragging of the river will be made, as the current at the spot where the girl fell in is very swift.

BODY OF DROWNED GIRL IS RECOVERED
May Foley Taken from Water Mile Below Linwood -- No Inquest Held

     The body of May Foley, who leaped from the government bridge Thursday at midnight, was recovered a mile below Linwood yesterday morning at 8 o'clock.
     The discovery of the body floating in the water was made by little Mabel Moeller, daughter of Edward Moeller, a fisherman, and within a few minutes the body was removed from the water by Mr. Moeller, John Yanke, and Herman Huber. The body was removed to the Halligan undertaking parlors and the funeral was held yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Services were conducted by Rev. M.M.
O'Laughlin and interment was made in St. Marguerite's cemetery. The pallbearers were Owen Murray, Joseph McIntyre, Joseph Hammond, Thomas Gillon, James Gillon, and John Gillon.

HAD FLOATED MILES
     The body, at the time it was recovered, had floated down the river about seven miles, but when taken from the water had deflected from the current and had washed near the shore.
     When the little girl first saw the body in the water she did not know what it was but informed her father of her find. He investigated and found it to be the body of a girl. With the assistance of the other two men he towed the body ashore and notified Coroner Rudolph. This morning Coroner Rudolph stated that no inquest or post-mortem would be held as the case was clearly one of suicide.

BUT FEW DEVELOPMENTS
     Since the first information was given the police by Roy Thompson and Harold Page that a woman had fallen into the river and had screamed for help for help about midnight Thursday, the police have been a work on the case. Every indication and theory which have been evolved on the case have tended to point to suicide, but the motive for the girl's rash act cannot be ascertained. The story told the police by her young man companion on the night of the tragedy sheds no light on the on the subject, except for the fact that when he parted
company, he remarked, as he had done before, that he would see her in the morning as she went to work. To this she is said to have replied, "Maybe you will and maybe you won't." He further stated that she seemed a little depressed during the evening but gave no vent to her feelings or thoughts.

POLICE FLOUT MURDER
     Since the investigation has been made into the affair, the police have flouted the theory of murder. The presence of the two young men who were seen to enter the bridge a short time after the girl did, counts for nil, as their departure from the bridge was not coincident to the girl's death leap. The identity of these two men has not been learned.
     Surviving the dead girl are the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Foley, and two brothers, James and Michael Foley, of this city.

MOTHER OF ONE OF CITY'S BEST KNOWN FAMILIES GOES TO REWARD - 
RESIDES HERE SIXTY-FOUR YEARS

     One of Davenport's prominent and best known families suffered an irreparable loss when death came at 12:40 this morning to Mrs. Alice Glynn Dougherty, a resident of this locality for 64 years and mother of four of the city's business men, William M., Thomas P., Edward J., and Lee J. Dougherty. A daughter, Margaret A., living with her mother at the family home at Sixteenth and Brady streets, also survives.
     Funeral services will be held at 9 o'clock Friday morning at Sacred Heart cathedral followed by interment in St. Marguerite's cemetery.
     Death came to Mrs. Dougherty in her 75th year and after a life of unselfish devotion to her family, her church, her friends and the poor and unfortunate among her fellow citizens. In good health until six weeks ago, the deceased had for years been active socially and as a charity worker. Her hospital visits, her calls on the sick among her acquaintances and her private benefactions to the poor had been constant.
     Six weeks ago an illness which eventually proved fatal came on. It was a complicated stomach disorder which eventually wore down the patient's strong constitution. She became perceptibly weaker day by day until death finally came. All of the immediate family, relatives and friends, had been in daily attendance at her  bedside for several weeks past, for the beautiful character and loving disposition of Mrs. Dougherty had made her hosts of friends.

Born in Ireland.
     Born in Ireland, Oct. 30, 1850, the daughter of Michael and Mary Glynn, Alice Glynn passed her babyhood there and at the age of three years came with her parents to America. They settled at first in Indiana, living there until the daughter was 12 years of age, when they moved to Iowa and to Davenport. The father decided to become a farmer and settled near Long Grove.
     In the early '70s when Alice Glynn had grown to young womanhood, she met Edward J. Dougherty, a neighbor of the farming community and they were married May 22, 1871 in St. Ann's church at Long Grove. They lived on a farm near Long Grove until 1890 when  Mr. Dougherty, ambitious and able in business, decided to leave the farm and live and work in the city of Davenport.
     Here he was one of the organizers and directors of the Farmers & Mechanics Savings bank, later consolidated with the American Commercial Trust & Savings bank. He was also one of the organizers and directors of the Guaranty Life Insurance Co., of which his son, Lee J., is now secretary and manager. He was actively interested in the coal business, in the street railway and also in public life, serving as supervisor for many years and taking active part in civic affairs.

Active in Church.
    During this  time Mrs. Dougherty found time not only to rear a brood of four sons and a daughter but also to actively devote herself to social, church and charitable work. She was an ardent member of the Sacred Heart Cathedral congregation for many years and was active in the Holy Name Rosary and other societies.
     Mr. Dougherty died June 5, 1905. Since that time the five living children of the deceased, all of whom resided in Davenport or its immediate vicinity, had been able to make their mother's declining years pass gently by. Her husband had left a comfortable estate, providence granted good health and an attentive family did its best to compensate for the loss of husband and father.
     Survivors are four sons and one daughter, William M., of the Guaranty Life In
