James Downs Obituary:

    James Downs, one of the early settlers of Green Lake, died at his 
home Monday afternoon after a long and lingering illness.  In May he 
suffered a stroke of paralysis which robbed him of his speech and 
also paralyzed parts of his body, so he was practically helpless, 
and death came as a great relief.
    His funeral will be held Friday morning, services being 
conducted at 9:30 at the home and 10:30 at St. Patrick's Church 
in Kandiyohi.  The services will be in charge of Fr. C. McDevitt 
assisted by Rev. Fr. Carlin of Tracy and Rev. Fr. Malloy of 
Shieldsville.
    James Downs was born near Innis, County Clare, Ireland, 
about 83 years ago.  
He came to this country 61 years ago, and in 1868 came to this 
county, where he settled on a homestead in Section 28 making his 
residence there ever since.
    He is survived by his wife Catherine Murray Downs, four daughters; 
Mrs. Maggie Casey of Darwin, Mrs. Mary Carlin of Green Lake, Mrs. 
Nellie McNulty of Donnybrook, North Dakota, and Mrs. Katie Caroline 
of Kenmare, North Dakota, and one son, attorney John Martin Downs 
of Minneapolis.
