Fennimore Times
Richard Conley
In the Town of Woodman, July 1st of blood poisoning, caused by the bite of a 
snake.   Deceased was born in County Mayo, Ireland, in 1825.   He came to this 
country in 1870.   He leaves a brother and a sister, Mr Patrick Conley and Mrs 
Michael Hanley, of Irish Ridge, to mourn his sudden and untimely death.   He 
was a man of strong and vigorous constitution, one who was likely to   live 
for many years, but Providence ordained otherwise ….

The funeral was held from St Lawrence Church, Mt Hope, July 3d, a Requiem Mass 
being celebrated by the Rev Father McNulty, who delivered an eloquent and 
appropriate sermon, extolling the many virtues of the deceased.   His 
admonitions to the living were gracefully and fittingly expressed.   His life 
was one of patient industry and unquestionable honesty of purpose, in 
principal unswerving, and in the cause of truth and humanity generously noble 
as Christian and Catholic he was a man who commanded the respect of all whom 
he came in contact, the longer and better the acquaintance the stronger became 
the friendship.

A noble life, but written not
In any book of fame
Among the list of noted ones,
None ‘ever saw his name;
For only his own friends knew
The victories he had won;
And well can they all testify
How well his work was done.
