DIES AT 96
DANIEL MAHONEY, PROBABLY IOWA COUNTY"S                  
OLDEST CITIZEN, TAKEN BY GRIM REAPER

Daniel Mahoney, probably the ildest man in Iowa county,
died Friday evening, April 8, at his home in Ridgeway.

Mr. Mahoney was born in County Kerry, ireland, in October,
1824, and had reached the age of 96 years and 6 months at
the time of his death. he came to this country at the age
of 22 and worked for some time in Ohio. From there he moved
to Kentucky, where he was united in Marriage to Mary
Callaghan in the year 1852, and early in 185 they moved to
a farm four miles north of Ridgeway. To this union four
children were born, viz: Josie, Thos., James and Mary. His
wife, Father James Mahoney of Parnell, Ia., and Miss Mary
of this village preceded him in death some years ago.

Mr. Mahoney voted at the 1856 election, which was hotly
contested between Freemont and Buchanan. He was a man of
sterling qualities, being a perfect type of honesty,
industry and economy. He enjoyed perfect health throughout
his entire life, frequently boasting that he was never
compelled to employ a doctor until about six months ago,
when old age and its attendant infirmities made inroads on
his rugged frame and he realized a sense of his condition
and that his lide's voyage was nearing an end-that he was
rapidly approaching the breakers of the farther shore.

The name Daniel Mahoney will never be forgotten in this
community, for better than a monument of granite or statue
of fame is the memory of this good man, alway genial and
kind, his life influence among his immidiate associates,
and his mark  of manhood has been left indelibly upon the
world.

The funeral was held Monday at St. Bridget's church, where
solemn high mass was celevrated by Rev. Ambauen of
Dodgeville, Rs. L.P O'Reilly of Mineral Point, Father
O'Connell of Knoxville, Iowa, and Rev. Rhoner of Mt. Horeb.
Rev. J. Barry preached a beautiful sermon, paying a fitting
tribute, and reclling some of the hardships and privations
incidental to pioneer life indured by the deceased.

The immediate relatives from out of town who came to attend
his funeral were Mrs. (Dr.) Christman of Milwuakee, Mrs.
Mae Hausen of Chicago, Thos. D. Mahoney and family of
Arena, and Rev.Father O'Connell of Knoxville, Io.
