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.
