Philip Cavanaugh
Aged Pere Marquette Flagman, Died Friday After a Short Illness.

Philip Cavanaugh, the old gentleman who has held the position of flagman at the
Ballou crossing of the Pere Marquette railroad for several months, died in this
city on Friday, July 15th, 1904, after having reached the ripe old age of three
score years and ten.

The remains, accompanied by his sorrowing widow and Dan McMahon, section foreman
of the Pere Marquette were taken to Grand Haven Saturday for interment, a son of
the deceased arriving here on the same train in time to accompany his mother on
the sad mission.

W.H. Peck of the Belding-Hall Co. and W.B. Travis of the Ballou Basket Works
raised a purse of $22.50 for Mrs. Cavanaugh which was presented to her just
prior to her departure to assist her in bearing the expenses of the funeral, and
the fervant “God Bless You’s” which the poor old lady poured forth upon Mr. Peck
was indeed a most satisfactory reward for the kindness shown to her in the dark
hours of her sorrow.
