Elkader Register & Argus, Thur., 27 Apr. 1916.

At her home in Elberta, Mich., Sunday, April 16th, Mrs. Michael Conboy passed peacefully to rest; just fell asleep to awake in her home above, after years of suffering. Three years ago a cancer appeared, which worried her constantly till her mind and body were a frail, sad wreck, but almost too strange to believe, the cancer was merely a speck of late and her death resulted from a fall six weeks ago. All that loving hands and hearts could do was done. She was constantly cared for by her two daughters day and night and her aged companion and only son, with whom she lived, were always trying to care for and comfort her.

Margaret Collins was born in Ireland and came to this country in 1853 to begin life's battle alone. For nine years she did homework in Boston and Jersey City. On February 9th, 1862, she was married to Mike Conboy. In 187_ (3 or 8) they came to Clayton county, Iowa, where they lived until nine years ago last December, when they moved to Michigan.

She leaves her husband, one son John, two daughters, Mrs. John Rohn and Mrs. Will White, and ten grandchildren. Six children died in infancy and one daughter, Mrs. Owen Moyna, about twenty-two years ago.

The funeral was held from St. Ann's Church at Frankfort, Mich., on Tuesday, April 18th, at 9 o'clock a.m. and was largely attended.

May she rest in peace.
