Death of Mr. John Dooley

Another of our old and respected citizens passed away when John Dooley departed 
this life on Wednesday evening, August 30, 1899.  He was taken down suddenly 
Saturday with apoplexy, rendering him unconscious from which he never rallied 
and kept gradually sinking until he passed gently away in the presence of his 
grief stricken family.  He had been thrown from a wagon about two weeks ago 
which probably helped to bring on this other trouble.

The deceased was born in the county Tipperary, Ireland, Dec. 18, 1833, and came 
to America in 1850.  He remained but a short time in the east and with the tide 
of emigration he started on his long trip to the west, arriving in Des Moines 
when but a lad of 18.  His object in coming to the west in those pioneer days 
was the same as that which had induced thousands of other young, ambitious 
Irishment - to develop the country and build up a home.  About 15 years ago Mr. 
Dooley settled on his fine farm five miles southwest of town, where himself and 
family have since made their home.  During all that time he had gained the 
esteem of his neighbors by his noble qualities and sterling integrity and was 
held in high regard by all who knew him.  Generous hearted and kind, a host of 
old time friends will read the news of his death with deep regret.  He leaves 
to mourn his loss, besides his loving wife, two sons and three daughters.  
These are Edward, Timothy, Margaret, Mary and Mrs. Hannah McLees.  His oldest 
son, John, died two years ago.

The funeral will be held from St. Patrick's Catholic church Saturday morning at 
10 o'clock, Rev. Father Cleary officiating.

Additional Comments:

His wife was Margaret Graney.
