Sibley County Enterprise
Thursday 13 June 1895

Died
	John Davitt, of Green Isle township died at his home last Thursday
morning, 16th [sic.] inst., aged nearly 53 years.  His funeral occurred
Saturday and the attendance was one of the largest that ever assembled in
Green Isle, 122 vehicles following the remains to the church.  Deceased
occupied an enviable position in his community, and if he had an enemy in
the world he was not aware of it.  Every one of his neighbors feel that by
his death they have suffered an irreparable loss, as he was always foremost
to extend aid to them in times of sickness or business trouble.  The
sickness which proved fatal to Mr. Davitt attacked him about the time of
last Christmas, and he had failed from that time, in spite of the efforts
of the best medical attendance that could be employed.  He leaves a wife
and several children to mourn his departure, besides a large circle of
intimate friends, all of whom have they sympathy of the entire community. 
Besides the many neighbors and friends in the locality who attended the
last sad obsequies of the deceased, there were present from abroad Mr.
O’Donnell; Mrs. May, Miss Durkin and sister, all of Milwaukee; Mrs.
McCormick of St. Paul, John McGran of Henderson, Julia and Mamie Winzel of
St. Paul, John O’Donnell of Minneapolis, Patrick O’Donnell and daughter of
Hector, and Mr. and Mrs.
