Mortuary Record

From Monday's Star

Mrs. R. O'Connell

	Mrs. Richard O'Connell, passed away tranquilly at 9 o'clock last night.
	Although the silent messenger came quickly and almost without warning yet the
family, the physician and her friends had realized that she was far from well.
	Although her death is attributed to cholera morbus, with which she had ben very
ill for a few days, Mrs O'Connell had not been well for a long time and had been
quite poorly this summer.
	One had only to know the deceased in life to feel that a woman who combined
religion with practical kindness and a never-ceasing endeavor to alleviate the
sorrow of others, is gone--her life cares are o'er.  A heart that felt for
others has ceased to do its work.
	Mrs. O'Connell was born in County Kerry, Ireland, in 1842 and was therefore 56
years of age.  She spent her girlhood's happy days in her native home in in '68
bade farewell to the green hills of old Ireland and sailed for Americas.  
	In 1878 he was married to Richard O'Connell of this city.  She was a devout
member of St. Mary's church and was highly esteemed throughout the entire
community. (Source: Niles Weekly Mirror, Wed. Aug. 31, 1898, page 1, col. 3,
