MRS JAMES JENNINGS DEAD
Was a Resident of Palo Alto Since 1880
Mrs. James Jennings, one of the old residents of this community,
passed away
Sunday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.H. Walsh, of
this city.
Although she had not been physically strong for may years, she
was not taken
seriously ill until Thursday. She fully realized that the end was
rapidly
approaching and she made timely preparation for the final
summons. The
funeral most likely will be held tomorrow. Her son James and her
daughter,
Miss Lizzie, are coming from Springdale, Montana.
Margaret O'Brien was born in the county of Cork, Ireland, in
1840. She came
to the United States with her parents when she was quite young.
They located
in the vicinity of Morris, Illinois. Later they lived at
Braidwood, that
state. Miss O'Brien was married to James Jennings at Morris, in
1860. In
February, 1880, Mr. and Mrs. Jennings came to this county and
settled on a
farm in Great Oak township. Mr. Jennings died a number of years
ago. Some
time later Mrs. Jennings came to Emmetsburg and subsequently made
her home
beside her daughter, Mrs. W.H. Walsh. There are two sons and four
daughters
living. The sons are Patrick of this city and James of
Springdale, Montana.
The daughters are Mrs. W.H. Walsh and Mrs. John Burns of this
locality. Miss
Margaret Jennings who has lived in the Twin Cities for some time,
and Miss
Lizzie, who resides with her brother at Springdale, Montana.
William
O'Brien, Sr., a brother, and Mrs. D. Brocham and Mrs. Murray,
both sisters,
reside in this locality.
Mrs. Jennings was among the pioneer women of Great Oak township.
Friends and
neighbors knew her as an industrious, frugal woman, a kind,
patient, devoted
mother, and a most conscientious and useful member of society. In
her
declining years, her health failed and her husband died a number
of years
ago. Her sons and daughters showed her every attention,
manifesting a high
appreciation of all that she had done for them during their years
of
childhood. Though she has passed away, the memory of her many
sacrifices for
them will often be tenderly recalled. The sympathy of all is
extended to
them in their sorrow.

Colored Man Has Close Call
The colored man who works for John DOOLEY had a close call Friday
while
repairing a water main in front of Bert HUGHES' store. While
working, the
bank, which was covered with slush, caved in and buried him up to
the
shoulders. Had he been stooped at the time he would most likely
have been
smothered. He was not injured.
Seems to Have Two Wives
E.E. KELLOGG of Estherville applied for a divorce during the last
session of
court but his petition was denied. it is alleged that he has
another
undivorced wife living. The sheriff took him to Fort Dodge to
await the
action of the U.S. federal jury.
Is Auto Speed to Be Increased?
A prominent auto manufacturer claims that within a few years
machines will
attain a speed of 200 miles per hour. If so, it would be well to
urge
greater activity in the good roads movement.
