Mike Farrell Passes Away
After a year's confinement at his home from kidney trouble, with other complications, Mike Farrell passed away Friday evening. The beginning of the ending came about a week previous when his disease took a firmer grip on him and he gradually sank away. Mr. Farrell was born in Ireland about 81 years ago and came to this country when a young man. For many years he lived on a farm a few miles west of town, retiring a few years ago when he purchased a home in town and moved into it. His wife died a number of years ago and about eight years ago he was married to Miss Maggie McIntire, who survives him. Also one son, Michael, Jr. A younger son, John, was killed May 31, 1901, when he was run over by a loaded wagon and his head crushed. The funeral was held from St. Michael's Catholic church on Monday morning, Rev. Fr. Kunkel officiating, and the remains were laid to rest in St. Michael's cemetery.
