She was a native of Ireland but came to this country about 47 years ago. Two years later, at Hartford, Conn, she was married to Mr. Gallivan and several years later they moved to this county, where they have since resided. She has been in feeble health for several years, but her death was sudden and unexpected. She was up and around as usual and asked a little girl who was with her to bring her a cup of tea. In the meantime she reclined on the sofa for a little rest. When the little girl returned she found Mrs Gallivan so sound asleep that she could not wake her up. The girl reported the facts to members of the family who ere in the filed and upon examination it was found to be a sudden death. Besides a husband, she leaves eight children to wit: Mrs Thomas Sheehan of Mayville, Mrs Rose Allen of St Paul, Mrs Nellie Cunningham of Stewartsville, Mrs Lizzie Towey, of Stewartsville, Mrs Mary McCabe of Lacrosse, Mrs Tim Hayes of Caledonia, Thomas Gallivan of Mayville and Jeffy Gallivan of Mayville to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother. Funeral services from St John's at 10:00. The funeral procession was one the the longest witness here for some time.
