Morris Herald, Dec 8, 1893


The news that Patrick McAllister is dead will be sad news indeed to the many 
acquaintances of the deceased in this city and vicinity. He was the paper 
maker at the Allan Paper Car Wheel works and as the mill had to be shut down 
last week owing to the water having been temporarily drawn off this level, he 
had anticipated with a considerable degree of pleasure to accompany his wife 
and only child on a visit to the home of Mrs. McAllister’s parents in 
Channahon, Will county, whither they went last week Tuesday. On the following 
day he was taken sick; pneumonia resulted and Death came to his release just 
after 6 o’clock last evening. In the house where he was so happily married to 
Miss Georgiana Smith, July 4, 1882, his eyes were closed in eternal 
sleep. Deceased was born in Pickaway county, Ohio, September 11, 1856, making 
him aged 37 years, 2 months and 26 days. Thus, not yet in the prime of life he 
has been removed from a tender and loving wife, a fatherless child and from a 
community in which he was regarded in the highest esteem. He had lived nearly 
all his life in or near Morris, and was well and favorably known, was known as 
an honest, industrious and companionable man, and we voice the true sentiments 
of this community when we say that the afflicted widow and little Winfred have 
sustained a loss in which they have the undivided sympathy of this entire 
community. He was an active member of the Modern Woodmen and of Star Lodge, 
I.O.O.F. The funeral will take place at the M.E. church in Channahon Sunday at 
1 o’clock, and will be under the auspices of the Odd Fellows. Rev. Dorwin, of 
Channahon, will officiate. His remains will be placed by the side of their 
first born, little Isabella, who died Nov. 9, 1883, at the tender age of 6 
months.

All that remained mortal of the late Patrick McAllister were consigned to the 
cold earth yesterday. More than thirty members of Star Lodge, I.O.O.F. and 
about a dozen Modern Woodmen attended from this city. A stillness prevailed in 
the little hamlet nestled among the bluffs which seemed to be brought about by 
the sad occasion. The cozy church was filled to its utmost with sorrowing 
friends, and the discourse of Rev. Dorwin was interesting and affecting. Among 
the relatives present were three sisters of the deceased, Mrs. John Matteson 
and Mrs. E. E. Andrews of Minneapolis and Mrs. Mary E. Andrews of Aurora, Ill.
