The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Friday, March 29, 1918


Miss Ellen Bohen was born in County Cork, Ireland, in 1841.  When a small child 
she came with the family to Ontario, Canada, where in 1860 she was united in 
Marriage to John Fitzpatrick.  They moved to Lebanon, Clinton county, a few 
years after their marriage, and resided there until a few years ago when they 
purchased a home and moved to the village of Hubbardston.  The husband died 
about a year ago and last week, the morning of March 19, they found her dead in 
bed.  They received news the day before of the death of her son, Edmund, and it 
was a great shock to her in her feeble condition.

She was the last one in her father’s family of six children to be called by 
death.  

She was the mother of ten children; two died in infancy, and the others are as 
follows:  Mrs. Rose McDermott of Hubbardston, Mrs. Elizabeth Lawless of 
Portland, Edmund Fitzpatrick of Denver, Colo., now deceased, James Fitzpatrick 
of Hubbardston, Mrs. Ella Lawless of Portland, Mrs. Agnes Bower of Carson City, 
John Fitzpatrick of Hubbardston and Mrs. Etta Wright of Muir.  She is survived 
by 25 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.

Her son, Edmund, was born in Canada, Dec. 29, 1865 and died of pleural 
pneumonia in Denver, March 17, 1918, at the age of 52 years.  He has been in 
Denver since 1885 and April 18, 1896 was married there.  He is survived by his 
widow, who accompanied the remains here and will remain for a time with 
relatives here.

A double funeral was held at the St. John’s Catholic church Friday, Rev. Fr. 
Doyle officiating.  He was assisted by Rev. Fr. Ulenberg of Pewamo and Rev. Fr. 
Sheyan of Carson City.

Besides the members of the immediate family above mentioned, the following 
relatives from away were present:  John Lavelle, Miss Mary Lavelle and Mrs. 
James Lavelle of Wale, St. Clair county; Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Fitzpatrick, Mr. 
and Mrs. Geo. Fitzpatrick of Clare; Wm. Fitzpatrick of Mt. Pleasant; Bernard 
Fitzpatrick from Camp Custer; Chas Piggott and wife of Pewamo; Mr. and Mrs. 
August Hafner and Ed Piggott and family of Fowler and a large circle of friends 
from the nearby towns.
