Mr. John Cooney.

Another old soldier has answered to the last roll call. Mr. John COONEY whom we
mentioned in last week's Index as being seriously ill, passed over the river,
August 16, 1904, after a sickness of several weeks.

Mr. Cooney was one of the old residents of Palmer having come here when the town
was new. He has made his home here since that time and leaves many relatives and
old friends.

Mr. John Cooney was born in Hunting county, Penn., April 23, 1826, and died at
Palmer August 16, 1904. In the early part of his life he moved to Iowa and in
1867 he moved from North Liberty, Ia., to Kansas. Was twice united in marriage,
his first wife, being Miss Mary ROBINSON, to which union there were born eight
children, seven of whom survive him, the only one living here, however, John
Cooney, Jr., south of Palmer. He was married at second time to Mrs. S.M. HILEMAN
on March 10, 1870.

Funeral services were held Wednesday at the M.E. church conducted by Rev.
Weidenheimer and the Grand Army of Linn of which he was a member. The remains
were laid to rest in Peach Creek cemetery where lie nearly a score of the
nation's brave defenders.--Palmer Index.
