Lima Times Democrat, January 20, 1909

Messages were received here at noon today, telling of the death of Mrs. A. J. 
IRWIN, at her home in Detroit, this morning at 6:15 o’clock.  Her death was 
not unexpected, as her sister, Mrs. I. S. MOTTER, had been summoned to Detroit 
a fortnight ago, and Mr. R. W. MEILY left some days later.

Mrs. IRWIN had been declining in health for months past, though she was able 
to be in this city during the holidays.  She was taken much worse soon after 
her return to her home, however, and her daughter HELEN, who had returned to 
her school work at Wells College in New York, was sent for.  It was thought 
that heart trouble was the final cause of her demise, though the entire system 
was weakened by a slow decline.

Mrs. CATHERINE MEILY-IRWIN was 48 years of age at the time of her death.  Up 
until the time of her marriage at twenty years of age, she was a resident of 
Lima, and soon after that event removed with her husband to Goshen, Ind. where 
they lived for many years.  Dr. IRWIN is supreme medical examiner of the Order 
of Knights of the Maccabees, and some time since the family moved to Port 
Huron, where the general offices of that order was then located.  Last autumn, 
early in October, the new temple erected at Detroit was made ready for 
occupancy and the Irwins moved to that city.

Mrs. IRWIN is a sister of Mrs. I. S. MOTTER, Mrs. A. G. FREEMAN, Mr. R. W. 
MEILEY, and of the late Mrs. CALVIN BRICE and LUCY and BESSIE MEILY.  She has 
a host of friends in this city, and was a general favorite with all who knew 
her.  One daughter, HELEN is left to comfort the husband.

It is understood that the remains will be brought to Lima for burial, and the 
funeral services will probably be held at 1:30 p. m. Friday.
