The Marion Sentinel Thursday June 20, 1895
In Marion, June 13, 1895, at the residence of her son, James Riley, Ann, widow of Phillip Riley.
She was born, August 10, 1813, in the town Manorth[sic], county of Heldrene[sic], Ireland.
She was married Feb. 3, 1831, at Marnorth, to Phillip Riley. They came to Canada in 1834 and two years after to Buffalo, N.Y., and one year after to Massilon, Ohio, and in 1855, to Marion, Iowa, where they continued to reside till the time of their death.
Phillip Riley, the husband, died March 27, 1891. They had eleven children. Two died in infancy. Edward died in Gladwater, Texas, Oct. 15, 1875. Four daughters are still living, Mrs. Ellen Needles, of Kenwood Park, Mrs. Hannah Bloom, of Marion, Mrs. Hariett Wheeler, in Nebraska, Mrs. Maretta Disbrom[sic], in Atlantic, Richard and James Riley in Marion, and Phillip in Cedar Rapids. Mrs. Riley was a faithful wife, a kind mother, and respected by all who knew her. Death came to her without any severe suffering. Her departure was like going to sleep, we hope it was that blessed sleep from which none ever wake to weep. The funeral service was held at the house, ocnducted by Rev. Alex S. Marshall.
