MRS. MIKE LOY.
Mrs. Loy had been very feeble for the past few years, but was
about the house the day she died. However, she had not been as
well as usual the past few days. She prepared a part of the
dinner meal, her husband finishing it, and after partaking of it,
her husband led her up to the bedroom, and she lay down upon the
bed. Mr. Loy then lay down upon a lounge in another room to take
a nap. About an hour later he woke and on going to his wife's
room was horrified to find her lying there cold in death.
Margaret White was born in Ireland and was 80 years old the third
day of June, 1910. She came to America in 1855, and eighteen
months later was married to Tim Berry, the marriage occurring in
Connecticut. She was again married to Mike Loy at Charles City.
For thirty-one years they resided upon a farm southwest of town,
and for nearly seven years resided in town. She is survived by
her husband, two step-children, Mrs. Lizzie Driscoll, of
Plainfield, and
James Loy, of Nashua. Also a nephew, Tim Flaherty, of Bismark,
N.D., whom she cared for from babyhood to young manhood, and who
was in attendance at her funeral. The deceased was a woman who
was always spoken of with respect, and her presence in the home
will be missed by the aged companion. The funeral will be held at
the Catholic church Thursday at 9:30 a.m., and the remains taken
to Charles City for burial.
