DIED:
BYRNE-On Saturday, August 16th, 1890, of consumption, Mrs. Elizabeth
Jane Byrne, aged 57 years.

Mrs. Byrne whose maiden name was Chase was born in Albany, New York, in
1833, and moved to Wisconsin in 1854, where she married. She lived with
her husband in Reedsburg and Milwaukee. Moved to LeMars in 1876, where
Mr. Byrne died in 1876.

Mrs. Byrne leaves four sons and three daughters to mourn her departure.
The oldest son, P.J. Byrne, is in the employ of the Western Union
Telegraph Company at Milwaukee, Charles and John are in St. Paul,
Minnesota, and the youngest, George, is in the employ of Payne & Luken,
in this city. Of the daughters, Miss Carrie Byrne, is county
superintendent, and Mrs. R. C. Donovan and Miss Rose are at home.

Mrs. Byrne was a first cousin of Chief Justice Chase. She has been an
invalid for the past fifteen years, and thinking that a change would be
of benefit to her health, she spent the past two months in St. Paul and
Milwaukee, returning home on Monday, August 11th. She was a very quiet
unassuming woman, beloved by all who knew her. The funeral occurred
from the St. James church on Monday. A large concourse of people
followed the remains to their resting place.
