SAD DEATH OF YOUNG MOTHER

The death of Mrs Albert O'Hara occurred at her home near Ion Tuesday morning March 9th due to diabetes. Stacia, daughter of Mr & Mrs Michael Nicholson was born in Fairview Township April 10, 1896, and prior to her marriage to Albert O'Hara Sept. 5, 1923, was one of Allamkee's best school teachers. Eulogists praise for such as she would not be amiss, for the pleasantness of her disposition, her congeniaity, and humility, and her great love for prayer were some of the good qualities her friends most admired in her. The willing assistance she rendered in the parential home, and interest and devotion in her own home were samples of her true worth.

She is survived by her husband and little daughter, Justine Elizabeth, about a year and a half old, her parents, four sisters, and two brothers, all being present at the funeral with the exception of her father, brother, and sister who were prevented by illness. The funeral was held at St. Pius' Church Thursday morning. Requim Mass by pastor Rev. D. J. Neenan, who also delivered the funeral sermon. Her pallbearers were Chas. and Neil McCormick, Will and James McGuire, James Lloyd and Raymond Kinley. May she rest in Peace.
