Death of Miss Nellie F. Talbot, of Minooka, Illinois

Minooka Advertiser, August 3, 1893, Page 10

No news was ever received with more surprise or created such profound sorrow 
in this community as that which on last Sunday conveyed the sad intelligence 
of the death of Miss Nellie Talbot, daughter of Mrs. Ellen and the late Thomas 
Talbot. The sad event occurred at the Woman's hospital, Chicago, where 
deceased went for the purpose of having a tumor removed from her right side. 
The operation was performed on Thursday by the eminent surgeon, Dr. Byford and 
was pronounced a success, the patient improving steadily till Sunday morning 
when paralysis of the stomach set in, which admitted no possible recovery.

The true Christian resignation in which she awaited the dire results of the 
operation was now maintained in a greater degree for the final summons. As the 
Angelus was ringing the mid-day hour, the beloved one with an angelic smile 
bade her loving mother and sisters a fond farewell and her pure spirit took 
its flight back to Him that gave it.

The remains were brought to Minooka by the late night train the same day, 
thence to the family home two miles north of the village. Sad indeed, was the 
return of this young lady to the home which she in the full bloom of youth 
left but so recently; to the home of which she brought sunshine and happiness.

That her every acquaintance is almost as intensely grieved as her nearest 
relatives, is an evidence of the love and esteem in which she was held. Truly, 
Miss Talbot's true Christian spirit coupled with a light hearted disposition 
made her endearing to all. While awaiting burial the family residence was 
thronged with friends from far and near who assembled to pay the last tribute 
of respect to the departed one and sympathize with the mother, sisters and 
brother, and with him for whom she was soon to become a life companion.

The funeral took place Wednesday from St. Mary's Catholic church which was 
crowded to the doors and beyond with friends of all creeds.

Requiem high mass was celebrated by Rev. Father McMahon, the choir from St. 
Patrick's church, Joliet, contributing much to the solemn and impressive 
ceremony. During the service Rev. Father Dunn, of Joliet, preached an eloquent 
sermon and concluded with a beautiful and merited tribute to the memory of the 
deceased and her estimable family. Services over, the funeral cortege 
proceeded to St. Patrick's cemetery, Joliet. At the grave Father McMahon 
pronounced the last sad rites, then, at the side of her father who had 
preceded her to the city of the dead but a short year, was laid to rest all 
that, remained of the beloved Nellie, whose sad and humanly speaking, untimely 
death, has cast a sadness over all that time alone can remove.

Beautiful floral offerings were tendered by many loving friends and by the 
church choir of which Miss Talbot was a member. A beautiful gates-ajar, "From 
Lou" told its own sad story. The flowers were borne to the church and to the 
grave by the Misses Maggie Foren, Katie Brannick, Agnes McEvilly, Thresa Baltz 
and Mamie Kenney, dear companions of Nellie's. The pall bearers were Wm. 
Kaffer, James Foren, James McEvilly, Wm. Green, Henry Brannick and Nicholas 
Comerford.
