MISS MOHAN DIES AT MITCHELL

Father and Sister Are Notified of Her Sudden Illness and Hurry to Her
Bedside. Death Was Due to Hemorrhage of the Brain

Miss Isabelle M. Mohan, of this city, died at Mitchell, S.D., on Thursday
morning after a brief illness. Her death was due to hemorrhage of the brain.
Miss Mohan, who made her home with Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Ronald at Mitchell,
wrote about two weeks ago to her relatives in LeMars that she was not
feeling well. Another letter followed saying she was better and intended to
come for a visit. On Monday of last week she was suddenly stricken with
hemorrhage of the brain, and her body was paralyzed on one side. Her father,
James Mohan, and her sister, May, hastened to her bedside on receipt of the
news. She recognized them when they arrived, but was unable to speak, and
relapsed into unconsciousness and passed away on Thursday morning at half
past three. The remains were brought here on Friday for interment.

Miss Isabelle Mohan was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Mohan, and
was born in Lincoln township, Plymouth county, on May 19, 1871. Her parents
moved to LeMars, when she was a girl, and she was reared and educated in
this city. For the past few years, she made her home in Sioux City, and in
July of this year went to Mitchell, S.D.

She is survived by her father, six sisters and three brothers. The mother
and one sister have preceded her in death. The sisters and brothers are:
Mrs. Samuel McGinty, of Sioux City; Mrs. Jack Stevens, of this city; Sister
Rita, of Tama, Iowa; Rose, of Fort Dodge; Mamie, Maggie and Dennis, who live
at home with their father; Joseph, who is working in Sioux City; and James,
who is serving in the United States Army, being a member of Company D.
Second Cavalry, now stationed in the Philippine Islands. Miss Mohan was
widely known in LeMars and Plymouth county, where she lived the most of her
life, and many friends will deplore her death and sympathize with the
relatives in their bereavement. She was a good Christian woman, an
affectionate and loving daughter and sister, of a generous disposition, and
large souled nature. Her life was devoted to useful avocations and she made
many homes bright in addition to her own. She was a devout and consistent
member of the Catholic church, living up to its tenets and creed, and died
firm in the faith of a blessed hereafter. The funeral was held on Sunday
afternoon at St. James church, where she first listened as a child to the
teachings of the Lord, and was largely attended by old friends and
neighbors. Miss Mohan was a member of the Banner Court Tribe of Ben Hur of
Sioux City.

Among those present at the funeral from out of town were: D.B. Mohan, Miss
Belle Mohan, Miss Nellie Mohan, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mohan, Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Geary, Mr. and Mrs. S. McGinty, Mrs. John McGinty of Sioux City, Sister Rita
of Tama, Miss Rose Mohan of Ft. Dodge, Miss Sadie Spinharney of Cherokee,
Mrs. G. Coleman and Dr. F. A. Seaman, of Cherokee.
