OBITUARY
M'CHESNEY

After a lingering illness of over three months' duration, Mrs. Mary C. McChesney passed quietly away at half past five o'clock Saturday morning. Death was the result of a complication of dropsy and heart trouble. Her taking away is a sad blow to her many friends and especially to her four surviving children, W.J., Charles, Belle, and Miss Emma Buck of Clinton, Iowa.

Mrs. McChesney was born in Little Falls, N.Y. on April 30th, 1835, and in 1857 married John McChesney and came with him to Davenport that same year, residing here ever since. Mr. McChesney was connected with the Rock Island road for about 25 years.

The funeral took place Monday morning at ten o'clock from the residence, 407 East Sixth street, and the remains were interred in Oakdale cemetery by those of her husband, who has preceded her to the realms of peace.
