Mrs. Margaret Greehy, who was thirty-two years a resident of this city but who has made her home in Rock Island since 1878, died there this morning at the residence of 2533 Vine street at 4:20 o'clock. The cause of death was catarrh of the stomach, from which Mrs. Greehy had been a sufferer for about a year. The deceased was a native of Ireland, and was born in the county of Sligo 64 years ago. She came to Davenport in 1846 and as stated lived in this community for thirty-two years, making and retaining hosts of friends by home the news of her death will be received with great regret and sorrow. Two sons survive, John and Thomas, both well-known and respected engineers on the Rock Island railroad.

The funeral will take place Thursday morning with requiem services at St.Joseph's church, Rock Island, at 9 a.m. After the services remains will be taken to St. Marguerite's cemetery in this city for interment.
