The Portland Review & Observer, Thursday, July 13, 1939

James Moriarty, 72, well known Portland township farmer, collapsed as he stood 
in the kitchen at his home on Looking-Glass avenue at noon Tuesday and died a 
few seconds later.  His health had not been the best for several months, but 
his sudden passing was a shock to his family and his many friends and 
acquaintances.  Funeral services will be held at St. Patrick Catholic church 
Friday morning at 9:30.

Mr. Moriarty was born in this vicinity, the son of Jerry Moriarty.  He had 
spent his entire lifetime in this locality and was a well known resident.  
When a young man he married Miss Katherine Conklin, whose death occurred 10 
years ago.  Her funeral was held on the same day of the month that Mr. 
Moriarty passed away. To this union were born two sons, Ralph and Gerald, who 
survive.

Several years after death of his first wife Mr. Moriarty married Miss 
Katherine O’Connor, of Portland.  She survives.

A year ago Mr. Moriarty suffered a severe illness and since that time his 
heart had been troublesome.  Tuesday he made several trips out to the barn, 
where men were putting up hay, and had driven his auto.  Coming in at the noon 
hour he collapsed.

Besides the widow and two sons there are two brothers and two sisters.  The 
former are John and Michael Moriarty, of Portland, and the latter are Mrs. 
Martin Palmer, of Portland, and Mrs. Patrick Long, of Fowler.

Pallbearers will be nephews of the deceased.  They are Edward J. Long, James 
Long, Dan Moriarty, Henry Leik, George Leik, and Jerry Leik.
