    Charlotte Record, Charlotte, Clinton County, Iowa, December 5, 1912
    Death of John M. Costello

    At his home one mile north of Petersville, at 10 o’clock Saturday night,
November 30, occurred the death of John M. Costello at the age of 59 years. His
death was very sudden and was caused by angina pectoris, Mr. Costello passing
away before medical assistance could be secured.

    Mr. Costello was born in Canada in 1853 and came to this locality when a
child with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Costello. In 1876 he was married to
Miss Katie Flynn, who with nine children survives him, as does his aged father.

    Mr. Costello was one of the most influential and highly respected farmers of
the Petersville neighborhood. He was a man whose word was as good as his bond; a
man who in his business dealings with his fellow men, never took advantage of
any one and who leaves an untarnished name, a credit to his children and the
community in which he lived. Those who knew him mourn the loss of a tried and
true friend.

    The funeral took place Tuesday morning and was one of the largest ever held
at the Petersville church, the members of the Total Abstinence Society attending
in a body. Solemn requiem high mass was celebrated by Rev. James Comerland of
Lyons, with Rev. B. F. Luedtke of Sugar Creek as deacon and Rev. Thomas O’Dowd
as subdeacon, the latter preaching the sermon, after which the remains were
interred in the Petersville Cemetery. The pall bearers were John and Matt
Heenan, Leonard Reynolds, James Goodall, A. J. Mallon and William Quinlan.
