little girl.
Mrs. McVeigh was a kind soul and everybody loved her for her many good deeds.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Fr. Herenthal at the home of Mrs.
T. J. McAlpin.  Six children mourn the loss of their beloved mother Jim of
Davenport, Iowa, Mike of Omaha, Mrs. E. T. McAndrews of Denison, Iowa, and
Ed. Tom and Mrs. McAlpin of this city, all of whom with the exception of
Tom accompanied the remains to Vail, Iowa for interment beside her husband
who died a number of years ago.
The sympathy of the city and country goes out to the bereaved relatives.
(16 Jun 1910, Thursday, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Ella McVeigh, 80 years old, passed from this
world of sorrow and trials to the better world above.
Mrs. McVeigh was born in Ireland in 1830, but moved to this country when a
little girl.  She was one of the women that the poet spoke of when he
said:  "God could not be everywhere, so he created mother."
She leaves six children to mourn her loss:  Ed. McVeigh, Tom McVeigh and
Mrs. T. J. McAlpin of Elk City; Jim McVeigh of Davenport, Iowa, Mike
McVeigh of Omaha, Neb., and Mary McAndrews of Denison, Iowa, all of whom
were here at the time of her death.  She was sick about eight weeks.  All
of the children except Tom, accompanied the corpse to Veil (sic), Iowa,
where it will be interred by the side of her husband who died some ten
years ago.  Father Herenthals conducted the services.  Although Mrs.
McVeigh was getting quite aged, she had always enjoyed good health.  She
will be greatly missed by all who know her.
The sympathy of the entire city is with the children and relatives in this
their sad hour of affliction.
