HASSETT
Last evening at 8:40 occurred the death of Mrs. Catharine Hassett at her
home, 1816 west Third street. The deceased was eighty-six years of age and
when attacked by the dread disease, typhoid fever, which lasted three weeks,
her extreme years had left her physical condition too enfeebled to withstand
the shock. All the loving efforts of relatives and friends proved unavailing
and with her children gathered around her bedside she departed this life.
Mrs. Hassett was born in County Clare, Ireland and 45 years ago she came to
Iowa. Her husband, Thomas Hassett, died some time since. The deceased leaves
four children, all of whom were at the bedside of their mother when the
final summons came: Patrick J. Hassett, an engineer on the C.M. & St. Paul
railroad; Martin Hassett of Horton, Kan., an engineer on the C.R.I.& P.;
Mrs. Cornelius Haugh and Mrs. Michael Lamb. A brother, Martin Burns and a
sister, Mrs. Mary Walsh, also survive the deceased.
The funeral will be held at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, with services in St.
Mary's church and interment in St. Marguerite's cemetery.

BURNS
The death of Martin Burns occurred at the family residence, 1826 west Third
street, yesterday morning at 10:45. For several months past he had been in
feeble health and the end was hastened by the complications of old age. The
deceased was seventy-five years of age and was a native of County Clare,
Ireland. He came to America at an early age and settled in Davenport
forty-five years ago. He has continuously resided here since that time and
was widely acquainted throughout the city. He is survived by one sister,
Mrs. Mary Walsh and the following children: Mrs. Richard Hermann, Mrs.
Michael Manion and Mrs. William Lavery, of this city, Thomas Burns, of Rock
Island, Ellen in St. Louis and Mary, James and Walter at home. The deceased
was a brother of Mrs. Catherine Hassett whose death occurred on the
preceding Sunday.
The funeral will be held from St. Mary's church tomorrow morning at 9
o'clock with interment in St. Mary's cemetery.

SHIELDS
Mrs. Mary Shields, widow of Richard Shields, passed away this morning at the
residence of her son, Thomas, 1426 west Seventh street. She had been in poor
health for sometime past, and owing to her advanced age her condition had
gradually become more critical until within the past few days it was seen
that the end was only a question of a short time. The deceased was an
old-time resident of Davenport, having lived here for nearly half a century,
and her many good traits of heart and hand won for her many friends who will
learn of her death with regret. She was seventy-six years of age, and was
born in county Galway, Ireland, coming to Davenport as stated nearly fifty
years ago. Five children and one sister, Mrs. John Cavanaugh, all of this
city, survive her, the former being Mrs. Ann Vreeland, Thomas, Andrew, John
and James.

inch.

fell with a good deal of force upon his head. Dr. CANTWELL was called in and
it took three stitches to sew up the gash. Mr THIAS is not likely to
"monkey" with a wrench again in a hurry.
