Death of John J. Connor

John J. Connor of Crawford township, who has been ill, at the Mercy hospital in Des Moines, for the past six weeks, died there, Monday night, March 9th. Mr. Connor had had an operation for gall stones, and complications resulted, which caused his death. He was 70 years of age, and he was born and raised on the farm, which has been his home, these many years, being a son of the late Andrew Connor.

The body was taken to the Connor home, Tuesday night, and funeral services are being held at St. Patrick’s church, north of Bevington, this morning. The Rev. N. V. Dugan will conduct mass for him, at 9 o’clock, and burial will be made in the St. Patrick’s cemetery.

On November 19, 1927, he was married to Miss Sarah Cudmore, of Ireland. They were married at the home of her brother, in Brooklyn, New York, and they came back to this county to reside. In addition to his wife, Mr. Connor leaves a three months old son, John Francis Connor. He also leaves a sister, Sister Mary Benedict of Oklahoma, and a niece, Sister Mary Alberta, also of Oklahoma, and a number of nieces and nephews, who reside in this county.

Coordinator's note: His gravestone has "1872" for his year of birth. All of the censuses, from 1870 through 1920, support an average year of birth of "1862" and we believe that to be the correct year.
