DEATH OF MRS. McARDLE.

Mrs. Catharine McArdle died Thursday at her home on Cedar street. The deceased was born in Ireland 66 years ago and had lived in LeMars about four years. Previous to that time she had lived in Sioux City and for about twenty-five or thirty years she lived at Mineral Point, Wisconsin. She had been ill for a few days with inflammation of the bowels and for the last two or three days had decided that she could not live. Her pastor, Rev. Father Meis, of St. Joseph’s Catholic church visited her and administered the religious comforts of the church. She was entirely rational until the last and at the time of her death, a little after nine o’clock in the evening, the members of her family were present. The Funeral services will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic church in Sioux City tomorrow morning, the funeral party leaving LeMars on the early morning train. She will be buried in the cemetery by the side of her husband, John Mc Ardle, who died there about three years ago. With a calmness and care that is exceptional, Mrs. McArdle made all arrangements in regard to the funeral and the burial lot before her death.

Nine children survive her. Those who were present at the time of her death are Misses Sophia and Jennie, of LeMars; Mrs. Frank Brady, of LeMars; Nathaniel McArdle, of Kenosha, Wisconsin; Miss Agnes McArdle, of Ft. Dodge; Mrs. Horance Eddy, of Glenwood, Iowa; and Mrs. Annie Graber, of Mineral Point. The other children live at Madison, Wisconsin, but were unable to attend on account of the sickness of members of their own families. Mrs. John Collins, of Mineral Point, Wisconsin, a sister of the deceased, was also present.
