The Portland Observer, Thursday, November 22, 1928

Mrs. Mary McVeigh passed away at the home of her brother, Fred Pilkington, 
early Tuesday morning, following an illness of about three weeks.  Funeral 
services were held at the Pilkington home this (Thursday) afternoon, in charge 
of Rev. W. H. Irwin, pastor of the Methodist church.  Burial was made in 
Portland cemetery.  

Mrs. McVeigh was one of the few remaining real pioneers of Portland.  Her 
maiden name was Mary Pilkington and she was born in Portland township November 
16, 1851.  In 1886 she was united in marriage to Samuel A. McVeigh, who died 
last May.  Following the death of her husband she continued to live at her 
home where she was cared for by Jennie Hill until the first of this month, 
when her home was closed.  Since that time she had made her home with her 
brother, Fred Pilkington.  Mrs. McVeigh was a member of the Methodist church, 
W.R.C., Order of Eastern Star and Lade Maccabees.

Besides the brother at whose home her death occurred she is survived by 
another brother, Orrin Pilkington of Twsp, Wash., and one sister, Mrs. Lucy 
Baker of Boise City, Iowa.
