Pioneer Resident Succumbs to Old Age Friday Evening

Mrs. Mary McCrait, one of the oldest residents of Stevens Point, both in age and point of residence, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. G. T. Wakefield, 413 Strongs avenue, at 7 o'clock Friday evening. For over two years her health had been very poor because of a general breakdown due to old age, but being the possessor of unusual vitality she was able to be up much of the time until about five weeks ago. From that time she grew rapidly weaker and her death was not unexpected.

Mary Doyle was born in county Kilkenny, Ireland, eighty-six years ago and while still in her native land was united in marriage to Patrick H. McCrait. Shortly afterward they came to the United States and for about three years made their home at Hudson, New York. It was in about 1850 that they removed to Stevens Point, and from then until about eight years ago, when they went to live with their daughter, the family home was on the present site of the National Brewing Co. on Wood street. Mr. McCrait died on December 8, 1908.

Besides Mrs. Wakefield there are three surviving children. These are Thomas of Seattle, Washington; Edward of Quilcene, Washington, and Joseph, of West Seattle, Washington.

The deceased was a noble christian lady whose death will be mourned not only by her own family but by a large circle of old friends and neighbors.

The funeral will be held from St. Stephen's church at 9 o'clock Monday morning with interment in the parish cemetery.

EDWARD McHUGH

In the death of Edward McHugh a pioneer resident of Portage county has been called away.

For the past two years Mr. McHugh had been in failing health, and for the past year he had been unable to perform labor of any kind. He was confined to his bed but a few days, however, and death was the result of Bright's disease. He was 67 years of age. The deceased was one of the most honorable of men, enjoying the respect, confidence and esteem of all who know him. For nearly thirty years he had been town clerk of Eau Pleine, and was a most competent official. A wife, eight sons and two daughters are left.

AGED RESIDENT DIES

Mrs. Julia Nugent of Town of Hull Succumbs to Infirmities of Old Age Friday

Mrs. Julia Nugent, widow of Richard Nugent, passed to her eternal rest at her home in the town of Hull, a few miles northeast of the city, at 4 o'clock last Friday afternoon. Mrs. Nugent was 78 years old and her death was due primarily to her advanced age, she having been in declining health for a long period.

Julia Egan was born in Ireland on March 6, 1838, and came to this county in young womanhood. Her marriage to Richard Nugent took place in 1866 and the family home has ever since been in the town of Hull, where Mr. Nugent died on Dec. 27, 1913.

Mrs. Nugent was one of the country's oldest residents and one who was held in high esteem by many friends in the community. She is survived by five children, Lawrence T., and the Misses Anna, Elizabeth, Mary and Julia, and an adopted son, Michael. A sister, Mrs. Mary Nugent, is also living in the town of Stockton.

Funeral services were held at St. Stephen's church at 9:30 o'clock Monday morning, Rev. W. J. Rice officiating. Those who served as casket bearers were John Welch, Lawrence Higgins, Richard Curran, Richard Lovely, Daniel and Lawrence Nugent, all nephews of the deceased.

In the passing away of this good lady there is gone another of Portage county's pioneers and one who had a fond place in the hearts of all who knew her. She was one of those kind, motherly souls who was ever ready to lend her aid and assistance in all good works, and her deeds of thoughtful consideration were many. The orphan sons and daughters have the sympathy of the community.

Mr. Quinn died on December 2, 1893, and the following March Mrs. Quinn purchased and moved into her home on Portage street, where she has lived very quietly ever since.

A few years ago Mrs. Quinn took a little orphan girl to live with her--Maggie Quinn, now a girl of 15 and an attendant at St. Stephen's school.

GEORGE O'KEEFE DROWNED

Son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick O'Keefe.

Formerly of This County, Meets Death While Bathing in the Fox.

George O'Keefe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick O'Keefe, who moved from the town of Stockton to Brown county a little over one year ago, and have since been living on a farm between Green Bay and DePere, was drowned in the Fox river last Monday evening. Late in the afternoon George took his bathing suit, remarking that he would go down to the river, which runs along the edge of their farm, and take a bath. Not returning in due time, a search was made by members of the family, resulting in finding his clothing upon the bank of the stream and soon thereafter the body was recovered, but too late to bring back the young life that had gone out, notwithstanding every effort was put forth. It is believed that after entering the water was seized with cramps, and although he could swim quite well, he was unable to save himself, and there was no one present to render assistance.

The deceased was 21 years of age, the second son of Mr. and Mrs. O'Keefe, and spent all his life in this county previous to the removal of his parents to Brown county. He had been a student at St. Norbert's College at DePere for two or three years previous to one year ago, studying for the priesthood, but was obliged to give up his studies and take a year's vacation on account of ill health. George was an exceptionally fine young man, bright and affable, dearly loved by all who knew him. Besides his parents he is survived by seven brothers and sisters, Ray, Mary, David, Isabel, Dominick, Frances and Katherine, to all of whom the sympathy of many friends here goes out.

The funeral will take place from the Catholic church at DePere, Thursday morning. Relatives from here who will be present are Mr. and Mrs. J. P. O'Keefe, Mrs. Alex Love, Frank McCarthy, Michael O'Keefe and Mrs. Wm. O'Keefe, the latter two from Stockton.

The relatives who went from this city and vicinity, all returned that night or the next day. George was a very popular young man. Although he was obliged to give up his studies at St. Norbert's college one year ago on account of illness, he had since fully regained his health, being strong and rugged and intended to resume his school work in the fall.

Two of his brothers and two others boys were with George at the time of the accident. He ran to the river, partially undressed as he went, and immediately plunged into the water to swim to the opposite shore, being a good swimmer. Before reaching the other side he suddenly disappeared beneath the surface, but as he made no outcry his companions believed that he had dived to the bottom, as was his custom, and would quickly reappear. Not doing so in a few moments, they became alarmed, tried to locate their companion and then secured help, the body being recovered about three hours late. No water was found in the lungs, and the attending physicians found that George had been seized with cramps in the throat and drowned.

Gregory O'Keefe, 44, of Neenah, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John O'Keefe, well known former town of Stockton farmers for many years, died Saturday night at Theda Clark hospital at Neenah, following a short illness with pneumonia. He had been ill for two and one-half days.

Mr. O'Keefe was born on February 8, 1894, at the family home near Custer. He attended school at Custer and resided there until 22 years ago when he went to Neenah. He attended school at Neenah for a time, subsequently going into business there. Later he disposed of his business and had since been employed there.

JOHN O'KEEFE

Prominent Farmer and Business Man Passes Away.

The announcement of the death of John O'Keefe of the town of Stockton will be received by his many friends throughout the county with surprise and genuine regret. While Mr. O'Keefe had been suffering for several weeks with muscular rheumatism, it was not until the first of the week that his condition became alarming. At this time a hemorrhage of the kidneys set in followed by a rapid decline in his general condition, death resulting at 5 o'clock Thursday evening. His illness appears to have resulted from overwork and too close application to his various duties.

Mr. O'Keefe was born in the town of Stockton on July 6, 1850 (sic), being a son of the late John O'Keefe who passed away some 18 years ago, and had always resided in that town. Some years ago he married Miss Mary McCarthy, also a well known young woman of that town. She with four children survives him. The children are Edward, Gregory, Gertrude and Margaret. He also leaves one brother, Edward of Chicago, and seven sisters. The latter are Mrs. Charles McCarthy and Mrs. A. Love of this city, Mrs. Patrick O'Keefe, Mrs. William O'Keefe and Mrs. John O'Keefe of Stockton, Misses Frances and Theressa O'Keefe of Chicago. Edward and Miss Frances have been at his bedside since the first of the week and Miss Theressa is expected home tonight.

The deceased was one of the most prominent men in the neighborhood. He was one of the leading farmers, having a large well stocked and fully equipped farm conveniently located and was considered "well off." In addition to his farm duties he was secretary of the Custer Creamery Co. and attended personally to the business management of that successful corporation. He was a prominent worker in St. Mary's congregation and was also a member of the Catholic Knights and Foresters. He was a fair-minded, liberal man, one who was always ready to lend a helping hand to any worthy enterprise or deserving charity. He will be sadly missed by the entire community.

The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock Saturday morning from St. Mary's Catholic church, Rev. Father Schwaeble officiating, interment following in the parish cemetery.

DIED IN FRANCE

Sister Mary of St. Bernardine, Formerly of Stockton

A message received Tuesday by M. O'Keefe of Arnott from Angers, France, brings the sad information that his sister, Katherine O'Keefe, know in the religious order as Sister Mary of St. Bernardine, died at the Convent of the Good Shepherd on Sept. 26 of a complication of diseases.

Sister Mary of St. Bernardine was the youngest child of the late Mr. and Mrs. Patrick O'Keefe, sr., of the town of Stockton. She was born at the old homestead near Arnott on Feb. 7, 1877, where she always lived until Aug. 15, 1900, when she entered the Convent of the Good Shepherd at St. Paul, Minn. She received the holy habit on Dec. 21 of the same year, and remained at St. Paul until May 30, 1901, when she, in company with several other sisters of the same order, were chosen to go to Angers, France, the mother house of the order, where they were to complete their studies and take the final vows. Sister May of St. Bernardine had been in poor health since about Christmas, 1901, when she had a severe attack of grip and since had never regained her usual health. The end was most beautiful and peaceful. She fell asleep to awake in a happy eternity. She was delighted at the thought of going where she was sure she would meet her parents, brother and sister who had gone before.

He sold his interest to his partner and with a son, John, opened a grocery store on North Third street. Miss O'Keefe attended St. Stephen's parochial school and the Stevens Point High school. Upon completion of her education she followed the dressmaking trade. The O'Keefe home was at 907 Main street for many years.

Three-Year-Old Boy Fatally Injured; Runs Into Side of Truck on Water Street

District Attorney Announces No Inquest Will Be Held

Running into a truck while crossing Water street in front of his home, three-year-old Raphael William O'Keefe was fatally injured at 4:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, dying just as he reached St. Michael's hospital, where he was taken immediately after the accident.

The child, only son of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. O'Keefe, 604 Water street, had just returned home with his mother and had run outside to play. He apparently was hurrying across the street to meet several other children and did not see the truck owned and driven by Chester Jastromski, 26, 508 Portage street, coming north on Water street. The child ran into the side of the truck, witnesses said.

Knocked down by the truck, the child was taken to the hospital by Fred Kuhl, 716 Main street. A physician's examination revealed a deep wound behind the left ear and death was pronounced due to head injuries and loss of blood.

After an investigation, District Attorney Walter B. Murat announced there would be no inquest.

The child's body will be taken home Thursday afternoon from Boston's funeral home and funeral services will be held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock from St. Stephen's church, with burial following in St. Stephen's cemetery.

His father will return Friday morning from Colorado Springs, Colo., where he has been a patient at National Methodist sanitarium.

The child was born in Stevens Point August 5, 1931 and is survived, besides his parents, by an uncle, M. W. O'Keefe, 1305 Division street, and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Eichlepp, Phillips.

CHAS. M'CARTHY

Chas. McCarthy, one of the best known, most highly respected and honorable citizens of the town of Stockton, died at his home at 10:30 last Saturday night, after an illness of about six months with kidney troubles. Much of this time he had been confined to his home, suffering greatly, and the end came more suddenly than expected by his friends. The deceased gentleman was born in Troup Town, Canada, and was 56 years of age July 12, 1900. He came to America and direct to Stevens Point 35 years ago, and until 14 years ago was almost constantly employed by P. & J. Meehan, at their mill and in the woods.

The deceased was a well read man, familiar with historical events and date, and there are few men in the county, no matter what their calling, who are as interesting a conversationalist. His death is to be most deeply regretted, and to the afflicted widow and children the sympathy of all is extended.

The funeral took place from St. Mary's church, Custer, Rev. E. P. Lorigan officiating, with interment in the church cemetery.

DANIEL O'CONNELL DEAD

Well Known Resident of Town of Buena Vista Passes Away--Funeral Held Tuesday Forenoon.

The announcement of the death of Daniel O'Connell, of Buena Vista, one of the best known and most highly respected farmers in Portage county, comes as a shock to friends and acquaintances where his name is known. For several months Mr. O'Connell had not been in the best of health, and about two months ago, accompanied by his wife, went to visit his son, Rev. G. J. O'Connell, of Maple Grove, Manitowoc county. Previous to that time he was ill with the grip and seemed to gradually fail. It was therefore thought that a change in environment might prove beneficial. Physicians and specialists from Milwaukee, Manitowoc and elsewhere were consulted, his ailment at first being pronounced cancer, but later this idea was abandoned. The patient was unable to retain any food, constantly growing weaker, and members of the family were sent for, his son Charles, coming from Locke, Wash., where he had been for the past three years. On Monday of last week Mr. O'Connell decided to come back, saying that if he could not live he wished to die at home. He arrived in Buena Vista that day, was able to be around the balance of the week, riding out nearly every day, and was feeling so well on Saturday that his son drove over to Bancroft on business and remained there a part of the afternoon. When he returned at about 6 o'clock he found that his father was much worse and the latter gradually grew weaker until he passed away at 11:30 o'clock Saturday night.

Daniel O'Connell was born in County Tipperary, Ireland, and was nearly 67 years of age. When a young man, about 18 years of age, he came to America, landing at New York, where he remained a short time and then went south to Newport, Ky., where he resided for about three years and enlisted in the Union army, serving for three years and four months in Company E, U. S. Artillery. After his term of service, at the close of the war, he went to Wilmington, Del., and was married to Miss Mary Tracy, at Philadelphia, Pa., May 28, 1865. Soon thereafter they came to Portage county and for the past 41 years had lived on the farm on which he died. Mr. and Mrs. O'Connell were the parents of nine children, two of whom died in infancy, and those who survive besides the widow are Rev. G. J. O'Connell, pastor of the Catholic church at Maple Grove, Mrs. P. H. Sullivan of Lanark, Mrs. A. F. Quaill of Hayward, Daniel O'Connell of Bayfield, Charles, who is at home, Mrs. Edward Murphy of Montello and Mrs. Chas. O'Connor of Portage. A sister and one brother, David, neither of whom has been heard from for many years, are also supposed to reside in New York city.

During his army service Mr. O'Connell took part in many battles of the civil war, being at the siege of Vicksburg for seven days, and at another time had his horse shot from under him, the animal receiving seven bullets in its body. He also had several other narrow escapes, but was never wounded.

Mr. O'Connell was a man of ready wit and dry humor, and being the possessor of a good education, kept abreast of the times with everything transpiring. He was wide-awake in business, a practical, progressive farmer, and was eminently successful, having one of the best farms in the county. He was also kind and courteous, a friend who never forgot a favor and always tried to do what he believed was right and just. A good husband and dutiful father, an obliging neighbor and honored citizen has passed to his reward. Being a man who always enjoyed good health previous to his late illness, and still less than three score years and ten, his friends had hoped that he would be spared to enjoy a number of more years of usefulness, and are consequently the more grieved at his departure.

The funeral was held from the Catholic church near the home of the deceased at 10 o'clock Tuesday forenoon. Requiem High Mass was celebrated with Rev. G. J. O'Connell as celebrant, assisted by Rev. Jas. E. Meagher, the pastor, and Rev. W. J. Rice of this city. A choir from St. Stephen's church of this city, consisting of Mrs. W. J. Leonard, Mrs. Katherine Moffitt and Miss Etta O'Keefe furnished the music. Father Meagher eulogized the christian life and character of the deceased, paying a just tribute to him as many friends from near and far paid their last respects to his memory by attending the services. The children of the deceased were all present except Mrs. Quaill, who was unable to attend, but the husbands of the daughters were in attendance. Those who went down from this city in addition to those mentioned above were Mr. and Mrs. M. Cassidy, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Welch, Mrs. A. J. Cunneen, W. F. and Miss Claire Collins, John H. Springer, Wm. Moll, F. J. Carpenter, M. J. and W. F. Mersch and E. D. Glennon. The pallbearers were John Smith, Wm. Russell, John Helback, John Bibby, Wm. Patterson and Jos. Brittel.

Stockton man dies of head injury after fight

A 25-year-old town of Stockton man died Monday as a result of a head injury suffered in a fight Sunday night.

Portage County Sheriff's Department deputies continue to investigate the incident, which caused the death of Daniel O'Keefe, 6554 Fifth St.

A spokeswoman at St. Joseph's Hospital, Marshfield, listed his time of death as 11:30 a.m. Monday. Media contacts made after that time Monday reported him alive but in critical condition.

Family members said he was kept alive on a life support system so that several of his organs could be removed later Monday to be donated.

The exact cause of death has not been determined yet, said Portage County Coroner Scott Rifleman. An autopsy was to be conducted this afternoon.

Deputies interviewed seven witnesses Monday but received conflicting stories, said Sheriff Thomas Wanta. They had no suspects by noon today and planned to talk to three more witnesses. "We expect to tie it up by 5 p.m.," he said.

The case is not being treated as a homicide, Wanta said. "The way it sounds is when he fell, he cracked his head pretty hard on the pavement," he said. "Right now, we don't know who threw the first punch."

Deputies' reports and results of the autopsy will be forwarded to the district attorney, Wanta said, who would decide whether to pursue criminal charges.

Up to three other people may have been involved in the fight at 10:42 p.m. Sunday at Golden Sands Festival at Lake Pacawa, Plover, he said.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about it is asked to contact the Sheriff's Department. "We're tying up loose ends and looking for additional information," Wanta said.

Obituary information for O'Keefe is on page 2.

DIED

McGINLEY-- At his home in the town of Almond, Tuesday morning, Jan. 1st, 1889, John McGinley, aged 48 years and 4 months.

Hundreds in this county who knew honest John McGinley intimately and well, were pained to learn of his death last week. During the past year his health had not been good, but it was only a few weeks ago that he was taken ill with lung fever and pneumonia, which terminated fatally at the time mentioned. The deceased was born in the County of Donegal, Ireland, and came to America in 1851, when a small boy, and settled at Wilmington, Del., where he was engaged at machine work until twenty-one years ago, when he came to this county. Having purchased a farm in the town of Almond previous to his coming here, Mr. McGinley soon thereafter decided to settle down, and about twenty years ago, was married to Mary Loughlin. By their union six children were born, five daughters and one son, the oldest of whom is 19 and the youngest 3 years of age. An honorable, conscientious man, a good citizen and neighbor, and a kind, indulgent husband and father has passed from life to his eternal reward. His loss is a heavy one to the widow and orphans, who have the sympathy of many friends in their hour of deep affliction. The funeral was held from the Catholic church in Almond at 11 o'clock last Thursday forenoon, with High Mass, Rev. J. A. Feissler, officiating, and was very largely attended, many going down from this city. The pall bearers were Daniel O'Connell, Charles Sharkey, Nicholas Burns, Michael O'Connor, John Fisher and Nathaniel Brown, all acquaintances of the deceased in the east previous to their coming here.

Mary Griffith McTigue

Mrs. James McTigue

One of Portage county's oldest residents, Mrs. Mary McTigue, passed away at 7:40 o'clock this morning after only a brief illness. A general breaking down of the system due to her advanced years was the direct cause of her demise. Weakness overcame her early on Tuesday and she sank into a restful sleep which ended fatally at an early hour today.

Mary Griffith was a native of County Mayo, Ireland, born there 83 years ago the 14th of last August. Coming to America some years later, she located at Hillsdale, Mich., and was married there a half century ago to James McTigue. They soon afterwards moved to Stevens Point, occupying a home near the east end of Clark street, where Mr. McTigue followed his calling as foreman in a railroad construction work until he purchased farm property in Lanark, where the family lived for 25 years and which property is now owned by a son.

In 1909 Mr. and Mrs. McTigue again became residents of this city, buying the property at 217 Dixon street. Some five years later, on Sept. 24, 1914, Mr. McTigue passed from life and since that time the widow was cared for by her older daughter, Mrs. Mary Peterson. Other surviving members of the immediate family are James McTigue of Lanark, Thomas McTigue of Minneapolis, and Mrs. George McGinley of Buena Vista. Mrs. P. Bowden of this city is a sister of the deceased lady and there is one brother, Michael Griffith, at Owosso, Mich. Another brother, John Griffith, died in Michigan a couple of months ago.

Requiem high mass will be offered up at St. Stephen's church at 9 o'clock Saturday morning, the remains being then taken to St. Stephen's cemetery for interment beside the husband and three children who died in infancy.

JAMES L. PACKARD

Sudden Death Occasion of Much Surprise and Regret

The sudden death of James L. Packard at the fire on Illinois avenue Tuesday afternoon was the occasion of much surprise and genuine regret on the part of his many friends and associates. In the prime of life and in generally good health he was considered far remote from death. His sudden and untimely end again suggests the uncertainty of life and the weakness of the tender cord that unites the body and spirit.

James L. Packard was born at Plover on March 27, 1860, being a son of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Packard. The father was for many years a prominent citizen of Plover and Stevens Point. He was an attorney and was a versatile genius and a competent man of affairs. He was at various times millwright, riverman, attorney, district attorney, register of deeds, clerk of the circuit court, city clerk, under sheriff, acting sheriff, deputy county treasurer, deputy county clerk, assessor and county supervisor. The family located in Stevens Point in 1853 and has been represented here almost continuously ever since. The father died a number of years ago but the mother is still living. She has been spending the past few months at Victoria, B. C., but expected to leave a few days ago for Wisconsin. Besides the mother the deceased son is mourned by four brothers and three sisters. They are George A. Packard of Bayfield, Charles H., of this city, Mrs. Charles Bell of Crookston, Minn., Mrs. Wm. Bigler of Hayward, Mrs. Ed Palmer and John Packard of Victoria, B. C. and William of Bayfield. All the relatives living within a convenient distance are expected to be here at the funeral. Many of Mrs. Packard's relatives will also be present.

Mr. Packard was employed during his younger years as a carpenter and lumberman but for the past 14 years had been a respected, reliable and efficient member of the fire department. On March 11, 1881, he married Miss Mary Needham of Beloit and a very happy wedded life has ensured. They have no children of their own but have raised an adopted son, Harry, from infancy. This young man joined the regular army last January and is now in the Philippines, leaving his wife and baby daughter here with his parents.

About two years ago when driving to a fire Mr. Packard became greatly worked up by a boy on a wheel who dashed out of a side street and barely escaped being run down by the fire team. In his imagination he saw a vision of the boy crushed beneath the horses hoofs and rolled under the heavy wagon and heard his cries and saw the blood fly. The picture in his imagination was so real and strong that it overpowered him and he fainted away on the wagon. He was examined after that for heart trouble but the doctors told him that he had no organic disease. Recently he has been worrying considerably over his son, who wants to be released from the army, and he told his wife a few day ago he believed he would have to get out of the department for a while and take up other work that would more fully occupy his mind. He also complained of pains in the back of his neck and head.

Mr. Packard was a member of the local colony of the Fraternal Order of Beavers and also carried an insurance in the Washington Life.

The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the house, Rev. F. A. Nimits officiating. The fire department, city officials and fraternal orders will take part in the service, the plans in detail to be arranged later.

Mrs. Mary E. Packard

Mrs. Mary E. Packard, 78, widow of one of Stevens Point's first firemen, died Wednesday morning at 6:20 o'clock at Beloit. Although she was ailing for the past three years she had not been confined to bed and her death was unexpected.

A native of England, Mrs. Parkard was born on March 26, 1860. Her maiden name was Mary Estelle Needham. She was brought to this country at the age of two by her parents who located at Bevent. When she was a grown woman the family moved to Stevens Point and lived on Briggs street. Her marriage to James L. Packard took place on March 11, 1881. Mr. Packard died on June 12, 1906.

MRS. PATRICK PADDEN

Mrs. Patrick Padden died at her home in the town of Buena Vista at 1:25 o'clock Sunday afternoon, Aug. 8th, death being due to general debility. She had been strong and robust mentally as well as physically until Feb. 24th, when her home was burned and within one week after she was stricken with paralysis, which affected her limbs and she was unable to walk without assistance thereafter. For some time however, she seemed to rally and no decided change for the worse was noticed until about one week before her death. Between eleven and twelve o'clock Saturday night it was apparent that the end was near and she rapidly sank until at the hour above stated she passed peacefully away without a struggle.

Bridget Naven was born in County Mayo, Ireland, Jan. 29, 1817, and was therefore past 91 years of age. She came to America in 1838, and was married to Patrick Padden in March, 1846, at Lyons, New York. They moved to Stevens Point shortly after and were among our first settlers. In 1865 they moved to Buena Vista, which town has been the family home ever since. Mr. Padden died Dec. 27, 1893. They are survived by six children, two others having preceded them to the great beyond. The remaining members are Jane and David Padden, who reside at the old home, Mrs. Mike Tobin of Lanark, Thos. of Buena Vista, James of Montana, Mrs. John Carson of Brainerd, Minn., and Miss Margaret Griffith, who has always resided at the family home, she being a granddaughter of the deceased lady. Mrs. Padden was a kind hearted woman, of strong religious sentiments, one who was respected by all who knew her and her memory will not soon be forgotten.

The funeral took place from St. Patrick's church in Lanark at 10:30 Tuesday morning, of last week, Rev. James Meagher officiating, assisted by St. Patrick's choir, with interment in the parish cemetery. The ladies of the Altar Society to which she belonged, attended in a body. The children were all present except James, and Mrs. Carson arrived too late for the funeral. Relatives from abroad were M. J. Cauley of Wausau, Wm. Cauley and family of Custer, Thos. Cauley of Stevens Point, Jerome Russell and son of Almond, and Wm. Russell and wife of Almond. The pallbearers were Patrick Dunn, Richard Curran, James Dougherty, Sr., John Hopkins, Patrick McNamara and Mike Riley.

MRS. M. PUARIEAU SHOT BY FRIEND

Killed by Excited Youth She Had Befriended At Her Dakota Home; Was Accidental

The body of Mrs. Irene Puariea, formerly of this city, who was accidentally shot by a boarder at her home near Reva, S. D., was laid to rest beside that of her husband in Forest cemetery here this afternoon. The body arrived on No. 4 Soo train Sunday accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. John Becker, the latter being a daughter of Mrs. Puariea. The shooting took place about 7 o'clock the evening of April 4. Wilford Martinson of Ortonville, Minn. had been living on a claim about a mile from that occupied by Mrs. Puariea who lived alone on her homestead. The young man, who is only 19 years of age, had recently relinquished his claim to the government, being under the legal age, and for a short time had been staying at Mrs. Puariea's home. For a couple of days previous to April 4 he had been ill and was cared for by Mrs. Puariea. The young man is stated to have been of a reckless, careless type and always carried with him a 38-calibre Colt's revolver although there was no necessity for weapons in the region where he lived. He even slept with the revolver under his pillow at night.

Martinson's story is that on the night of the 4th he was lying on his bed at the Puariea home when Mrs. Puariea suddenly remarked:

"I hear a noise outside."

The two were alone at the time. Mrs. Puariea went outside to investigate and after a little interval Martinson arose and asked:

"What is it?"

There was no answer but something pushed against the door as if to open it.

The boy stepped nearer the door and again demanded:

"What is it?"

There was no reply but the pushing against the door came again.

Martinson fired with his revolver point blank at the door which was but three feet distant. Mrs. Puariea was no more than four feet from the weapon. She screamed, opened the door and fell into Martinson's arms, saying:

"Wilford, you've shot me."

He tried to carry her to a bed but she sank on the floor. The young man placed a pillow, under her head and a quilt over her, finally laying a damp cloth on her head.

--"Mother, are you going to die?" he asked.

--"Yes, I am shot through the bowels," Mrs. Puariea replied. "Go for a doctor."

Martinson ran to the H. Learmony home a half mile distant and returned with Cameal Learmony.

--"Why did you leave me so long, Wilford?" asked the prostrate woman. "Don't leave me again."

Cameal Learmony went to the Becker home a short distance away and brought Mrs. Puariea's daughter, Mrs. Cynthia L. Becker, on the way telling her that her mother was badly injured and she must hurry is she expected to see her alive.

Entering the house, Mrs. Becker bent over her mother asking if she recognized her daughter. She then kissed the dying woman who feebly tried to return the caress but was unable to do so. Mrs. Becker then gave her a drink of water but after only one swallow, Mrs. Puariea passed away. This was about a half hour after the shooting. The bullet, which entered a couple of inches below the heart, emerged near the right kidney and was found on the ground beside the body by Martinson.

On April 5, an inquest was held, attended by the coroner, Dr. Raber, States Attorney W. M. Bennett and Sheriff Doten. The verdict was accidental death by shooting. Martinson was not held.

As Mrs. Puariea lay dying the young man had said to her:

"Mother, will you forgive me?"

"Yes, I'll forgive you," was the reply, "but you must be a good boy after this."

Martinson was a good rider and affected the role of a cowboy of the traditional type. He says he was shot at once.

Mrs. Puariea was formerly Miss Irene Slack. She was born in Sullivan county, N. Y., Oct. 12, 1835. At the age of 10 she moved with her parents to Plainfield where she resided until her marriage to Thomas Flynn. The family settled in the town of Carson where Mrs. Flynn resided until the death of her husband about 16 years ago. About 14 years ago she was married to Moses Puariea and lived for two years in Stevens Point, removing then to a claim at Reeder, N. D., which was the family home until the death of Mr. Puariea. Three years ago Mrs. Puariea moved to a homestead near Reva, S. D., close to the home of her only child, Mrs. Becker. There she had lived alone.

Other surviving relatives, include a sister, Mrs. Hattie Goult, and a brother, Hiram Slack, of Plainfield.

The funeral took place at the Baptist church at 2 o'clock this afternoon in charge of the Rev. James Blake.

Reva, S. D. is fifty miles from the nearest railway station which is at Reeder, N. D.

FUNERAL SATURDAY MORNING

Mrs. Edward McHugh to be Laid at Rest in Knowlton Cemetery

The funeral of Mrs. Edward McHugh, who passed away at her home in Dewey at 11 o'clock last Tuesday night, will be held from the Catholic church at Knowlton, Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.

The deceased, whose maiden name was Margaret Sinnot, was born in County Wexford, Ireland, on July 12, 1842, being therefore upward of 67 years of age. She came to America when a young girl and was married in Kentucky to Edward McHugh in the fifties. They came to Stevens Point about 1860 and settled on the old homestead in what is now the town of Dewey shortly afterward.

Mr. McHugh passed away on July 29, 1896. With the assistance of her sons she has since managed the property. For the past three years she had been in failing health, suffering from cancer of the stomach, but was able to be up and about the house most of the time, even until Monday of this week.

She is survived by ten children, Mrs. Mary Iverson of Rhinelander, James of Minneapolis, Tom of Sand Point, Idaho, John, Edward, Matthew, Martin, Michael, Katherine and Richard, all at home. All the children will be here for the funeral except Thomas.

Mrs. McHugh enjoyed an extensive and favorable acquaintance in the northern part of the county and her home was always noted for its free-hearted hospitality and good cheer. In her death the community loses one of its most admirable characters.

When on the floor at about 5 o'clock he was noticed to suddenly reel and fall, without uttering a word, and although there was a doctor present and everything possible was done, Mr. Pallen passed away in about fifteen minutes, heart disease, to which it is said he had been subject in the past, being the cause.

He is survived by his widow and an adopted daughter, Helen, who is also his niece and had been a member of the household since infancy.

Hans Poust, one of the old and highly respected residents of the town of Lanark, died at his home in that town, on Tuesday evening, December 13. Mr. Poust was born in Norway, March 29, 1813 (sic), and when twelve years of age adopted the life of a sailor. In his experience as a sailor he crossed the ocean fourteen times.

For the past twenty years Mr. Paust had lived on his farm in Lanark. The farm contains 600 acres, more than 250 acres of which are cleared. He was one of the largest land owners in the county, and all of it was free from incumbrance. He leaves a widow and four children.

The funeral was held Friday, December 15, in the Belmont church, with interment in the cemetery nearby. Mrs. L. E. Stewart of this city officiated.

He had been troubled with Bright's disease for a long time but his condition did not become serious until last Sunday, and for the next three days he declined rapidly.

His father, Hans Poust, died more than 28 years ago and his mother expired two years ago last August. Since then the household has been maintained by Myron Poust and a brother and sister, Fred and Miss Jessie Poust. Another brother, Frank Poust, lived at 628 Brawley street, this city.
