Phoenix Advertiser Minooka News, June 25, 1903
Mrs Mary McEvilly, widow of the late Patrick McEvilly, died at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs Hugh McEvilly in this place, Friday June 19, 1903 at the 
advanced age of 91 years. The decedent sustained a fall last week and had her 
hip fractured. The shock combined with the infirmities of age, sufficed to 
produce death a few days later. Mrs McEvilly was born Knight in county Mayo, 
Ireland, in 1809. She came with her husband to this country about 1830 and 
since that time the family has been well known here. The husband died seven 
years ago at the age of 85 years. The surviving children are James McEvilly 
and Mrs Hugh McEvilly, of Minooka; Mrs John McEvilly of Morris and Miss Nellie 
McEvilly of Chicago. Another daughter, Mrs Joseph Kavanaugh died in Joliet 
last September. There are about thirty grandchildren including James, Edward, 
John, William, Anna, Katie, Agnes, Tessie, Charles, Mamie, Emma, Esther, 
Mattie, Thomas and William McEvilly of this place. There are also nine great-
grandchildren. The funeral took place Monday morning from St. Mary's church in 
this place, conducted by Rev Father Joseph McMahon. The obsequies were very 
largely attended. All of the children and grandchildren and nearly all of the 
great grand-children were present. The interment was in Dresden cemetery. 
Several from Joliet, Chicago and Morris attended the funeral and from the 
latter Mrs Kelly, Mrs McDermott, Mrs Kearney and Mrs Feehan, representing the 
Women's Catholic Order of Foresters, acted as an escort to the remains.
