Cascade Pioneer, Dec. 17, 1925

    On Thursday evening, December 10, just as the sun had faded from sight the
spirit of Mrs. Hanora O'Brien winged its flight to its heavenly home   and after
many months of serious illness the weary body lay still and lifeless. Mrs.
O'Brien, whose maiden name was Hanora McCarthy, was born in  Garry Owen February
27th, 1857, and was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John McCarthy.
    On November 24th, 1881 she married Maurice O'Brien in St. Patrick's church,
Garry Owen. Mr. O'Brien preceded her in death just twenty years to the very date
on which her soul ascended to its Maker. Five children were born to this union,
Maurice, the eldest died in adolesccnce; and she is survived by John J., Annie,
Mrs. Daniel McCarthy, and Charles, all of Bernard. Mrs. O'Brien was a woman of
quiet and unpretentious habits, ever devoted to her home and family, yet  never
too busy to render a neighbor any service that she was able to bestow. Her faith
in God was the light that comforted her in her final  illness and she died
fortified by the last rites of the holy religion.
    Her funeral occurred from her late home west of Bernard at 9 o'clock
Saturday morning to the Sacred Heart church, at Fillmore, where Solemn Requiem
Mass was celebrated Rev.J. J. Leen was celebrant, Rev. D. P. Mulcahy, deacon,
and Rev. R. P. Duggan (a cousin of the deceased) was sub-deacon. Rev. Father
Duggan also officiated at the graveside in St. Patrick's cemetery, Garry Owen,
where all that was mortal of Mrs. O'Brien was interred beside the remains of her
husband   and son.
    The casket bearers were chosen from friends of the family and were M. L.
Donovan, C. F. Smyth, James Cannon, John F. McCarthy, William
Cannon, Daniel Driscoll, Daniel Noonan and Elmer Melloy.
