OBITUARY
Mrs. John O’Brien, a well known and highly respected lady of this village
passed peacefully away at her home on Saturday, January 20th, of fatty
degeneration of the heart, of which ailment she had been a sufferer for
some time.  Deceased breathed her last at 12 o’clock noon in the presence
of her husband and kind friends.  Her husband and son were constantly at
her bedside and cheerfully administered to the wants of the patient
sufferer until the final end.  Deceased was a devote member of St. Mary’s
Catholic church of this village, a true christian, a kind mother and good
neighbor and will be greatly missed by her husband, son, relatives and
friends.
At 8:30 o’clock Tuesday morning mass was held over the remains in the
church of which the deceased was a faithful member and from there they were
taken to New Ulm on the 10:32 train and there laid to rest in the Catholic
cemetery with her two sons who preceded her to that far off land from
whence no mortal returns, Father Rant of this parish officiated.
There were also two sons and a daughter who are buried at Ree Heights,
S.D.
Mrs. John O’Brien, nee Katherine McCarthy, was born in County Cork,
Ireland, May 5th, 1850, and was therefore 62 years, 8 months and 15 days of
age.  She came to this country with her parents, settling at Troy, N.Y.,
and where she was married.  This union was blessed by six children, all
boys, and all dead except Jerry.  The family later moved to New Ulm
remaining there about two years and in 1880 went to South Dakota, remaining
there until 1909 when they moved here.
The pall bearers were: Michael and William O’Brien, Bartley Hunt, Michael
Wetsen, Silvester Early and Arthur Furhmann.
The Enterprise with a host of friends extend sympathy to the bereaved
husband and son.
