Phoenix Advertiser Minooka News, June 7, 1906
Mrs. Michael Brannick died very suddenly at her home in this place last Monday 
night, June 4, 1906, near midnight, aged nearly 73 years. Mrs. Brannick 
retired that evening in her usual good health and slept until about 11 o'clock 
when she awakened with a sense of smothering and arose and opened the door of 
her room. Her daughter and Mr. Henneberry were aroused thereby and immediately 
summoned a physician. Mrs. Brannick's heart action grew weaker as the minutes 
passed and Father McMahon was called and administered the sacraments for the 
dying. The patient remained conscious until she fell peacefully into the long 
sleep. Mrs. Brannick was born Mary A. Sterling, at Providence, Rhode Island, 
in November, 1833, and when only a few years of age came with her parents to 
Lockport, Illinois, where the family resided for some time. When she reached 
womanhood she united in marriage with Michael Brannick and they resided on the 
farm near here until twenty years ago when they moved into town. Mr. Brannick 
died here three years ago. The surviving children are John, William, Ambrose 
and Henry P., of this place; Michael S. and Thomas F., of Goldfield, Nevada, 
Mrs. Alex ______ and Mrs. D. A. Henneberry, of Minooka, and Mrs. T. F. Brady 
and Mrs. E. J. Duffy, of Joliet. Two sisters, Mrs. John Breen, of Elwood, and 
Mrs. Patrick Kavanaugh, of Evening Shade, Mo., also survive. Mrs. Brannick was 
a lady of rare kindness and generosity and readily gained the friendship and 
esteem of all who knew her. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. 
Joseph McMahon in St. Mary's Catholic church here Thursday morning at 10 
o'clock. Interment was in the Dresden cemetery.
