In truth does trouble come with much company. Mary O'Shaughnessy, the seventeen-year-old daughter of Mr. J. O'Shaughnessy, who lives at No. 811 Ripley street, died Saturday night after an illness of but a few hours, of congestion of the bowels. She is the third child that Mr. O'Shaughnessy has lost -the other two having been taken away by diphtheria but a short time ago. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon, with interment at St. Mary's cemetery.
