From the Emmetsburg Democrat, 2 Sep 1908:

Myles McNally and M.M. Maher went to Milwaukee Monday evening to visit relatives for a couple or three weeks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the Emmetsburg Democrat, 14 Jun 1911:

He Visited Five States

Myles McNally Tells Our Reporter About His Interesting Trip

Myles McNally, who returned home last week, reprts a most delightful trip. He spent several weeks at Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Later he visited his brother Thomas at Gary, Indiana. He stopped with relatives in Chicago and came home by way of Milwaukee and Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

He reports winter wheat good in northern Missouri, but corn seemed late. In Illinois, crop conditions were about the same as they were in Missouri. Small grain looked well. The season seemed rather dry in most places.

He found Gary Indiana a humming place of 20,000. It has the largest iron mills in the world. It is the best lighted city that he ever saw. He thinks it will be a place of 200,000 within a very few years. It has splendid buildings and is up to date in every respect. Several suburban towns are being taken into the city limits of Gary. It is only 32 miles from Chicago. It has a deep harbor and docks that would do credit to a large city. Mr. McNally's nephews and another party recently bought a tract of land adjoining Gary for $72,000. They are making a fortune on it.

While at Milwaukee Mr. McNally was invited out to dinner one evening by Prof. M.G. Rohan, who conducts several classes in languages in Marquette university. During the evening they visited some of the high class amusements in the city where they enjoyed musical selections that would stir the heart of any Hibernian. Mr. McNally feels deeply indebted to Prof. Rohan for his genuine Celtic hospitality. Martin, son of M.F. Brennan, of this place, has a good position in one of the best business houses in Milwaukee. He also did much to make Mr. McNally's stay in the city enjoyable.

At Oconomowoc, Mr McNally visited numerous relatives and enjoyed a few days' outing. Crops look fairly well in Wisconsin, though they are not so far advanced as they are in Iowa. From Clear Lake to Emmetsburg corn and small grain make a better showing than they do in any place that he saw on his journey through five states.

From the Palo Alto Tribune Jan. 24, 1929

Citizen Soldier Takes His Leave at Age of 87

Myles McNally Now Numbered With Those of Great Beyond. Died Wednesday.

Myles McNally died at his home in the Fourth ward Wednesday evening , January 16, after a prolonged illness. Funeral services were conducted at the Assumption church at 9:30 Saturday morning. Very Rev. J.G. Murtagh conducted the service and celebrated a solemn requiem high mass assisted by Father McNerney and Father Dunn.

It was a military funeral. Rev. William Veit of Estherville, a chaplain in the World war, preached the sermon. The regular pall bearers were Clem and Maurice McNally, Robert and William McNally and Charles and Edward Kane, all nephews of Mr. McNally. The honorary pallbearers were Legion boys-Sarsfield and Joe Deneen, Jack Higley, Phil Bough, Glenn Brown and Melvin Hand.

Myles McNally was born in the County Mayo, Ireland in 1842. He came to America in 1861, when only a lad of 19 years. He enlisted in the Union army shortly after coming to the United States and served until the Civil War closed.

His record as a soldier was that of a man unafraid-brave,true, and patriotic, ready and willing to suffer hardship and danger and to die, if need be, for the cause which he believed to be worth the sacrifice.

After the war closed he established his home in Wisconsin. On January 27, 1868, he united in marriage with Miss Maria Kane at Mapleton, in that state.

Mr. McNally came to Palo Alto county in 1871 and settled in Emmetsburg township. His wife came in 1873. Eight children, three sons and five daughters were born to them. Two sons and one daughter preceded their father in death. The family grew up in Emmetsburg township.

Mr. McNally was one of the public spirited citizens of the county. He was interested in the schools and in all public affairs. He sreved as a member of the Board of Supervisors for nine years and was regarded as one of the alert businessmen on the board.

The writer remembers one time when Mr. McNally was the only democrat in the county to withstand the ravages of the political battle put up by the republicans. He won, was elected, and qualified-one lone democrat among his friends- the enemies (politically).

He was successful and was able to provide his home with all necessities and many luxuries. He was a reader and kept himself well informed upon all public matters. There was probably no man in the county better known than he. His name was familiar to almost everyone.

He was a member of the Henry Dillon Post, G.A.R., and the last member of the post to survive.

To have lived four score and seven years; to have raised a family of children to honest and honorable manhood and womanhood; to have served his country on the battlefield and in peaceful pursuits; to have borne the burdens of a pioneer; to have, through it all, acquired a goodly share of wealth; to have provided the best things for the home; to have enjoyed these with his family. and withal never to have wavered in the Christian faith or to have doubted the integrity of his adopted country, is a record of which few men can boast. Yet it is a record made by Myles McNally and one that he has left in the memory of his family and of his friends.

Notes for MARIA KANE:

1900 Census lists emigration as 1847. Gave birth to 8 children, 6 living in 1900. Who was 8th child?

She mentioned her father as Martin in papers filed for pension of her husband.

 

From the Palo Alto Tribune, Wed. March 20, 1935:

Mrs. Myles McNally

Mrs. Myles McNally died at her home in the Fourth ward Thursday, March 14, after a serious illness of a few days, though she had been ailing for a long time.

Funeral services were conducted at the Assumption church at 9:30 Saturday morning. The Very T.J. Finnegan officiated and celebrated a requiem high mass. The pallbearers were all nephews of the deceased. They were Will McNally, Rob McNally, Paul Kerber, Pat Doerning, Ervin Joynt and Charles Kane. Burial was in St. John's cemetery.

Miss Maria Kane was born in County Mayo, Ireland, September 8, 1844. The family came to America in 1848 and located at Oconomowoc, Wis. In 1873 they came to Iowa and Palo Alto county, where she has resided constantly since.

She united in marriage with Miles McNally at Oconomowoc on January 27, 1868. Eight children were born to this union. Two sons and one daughter, preceded their parents in death. The surviving children are Mrs. Michael M Maher of Hastings, Neb., Mrs. Larry Murphy of Bonesteel, S.Dak., Mrs. Art Beaudry of St. Cloud, Minn., Mrs. Dick McNally and W.T. McNally of this city. All were present at the funeral. Mrs. McNally also leaves one brother, Martin Kane of Ayrshire to mourn her departure. Her husband died six years ago.

Mrs. McNally was a woman of fine character. She was humble, earnest and sincere. She was a good christian and a devout Catholic. Always devoted to her ehome, she was ever a true wife and a splendid mother.

It was a half century ago or more since she came to this county. In those days luxuries were unknown., but trials and hardships were plenty. Seh bore her part bravely and was never known to complain of her lot. At that time the family lived on a farm west of this city. The children were taught lessons of industry and economy.

Mrs. McNally's unselfish nature was always evident. She was charitable in word and deed, and kindly acts upon her part were noted everywhere. She lived a long and useful life, and met every duty with a pleasant willingness. Such lives as hers, humble though they may be, are a benediction to those about them.

The writer knew Mrs. McNally well for many years and admired her for her true worth.

To the children and other relatives who survive her the Tribune extends sincere sympathy.

From the Emmetsburg Democrat, Wednesday, July 1, 1908:

Edward, Son of Mr. and Mrs. Myles McNally Passed Away Friday

Friday evening Edward McNally died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Myles McNally, in this city, after a rather brief illness, though he had not been rugged for several years. Some time ago he went west and remained for several months trusting that the change would aid him in regaining his declining vigor, but he traveled about only to meet with disappointment. He continued to hope for recovery against conditions that were gradually undermining his energies, but the buoyancy and the promising anticipations of youth could not withstand the influences which invariably break down health and strength and which in the end result in death. The funeral was held Monday forenoon. The attendance was large. Many came from West Bend, Ayrshire, Ruthven, Graettinger, and other points to be present at the last sad and solemn rites over the remains. A requiem high mass was celebrated at Assumption church by Very Rev. J.J. Smith. The remains were laid to rest in St. John's cemetery. The pall bearers were Clem, Ray, Wm. P., Edward and Robert McNally and M.W. Joynt.

The deceased was born on his father's farm west of this city on March 23, 1881. He attended his home school and was never absent from the community for any particular length of time except when he went west for the benefit of his health. He was distinctly a home boy and toiled year by year carefully, quietly, and faithfully on his father's farm. He was prudent in his associations and he was decidedly reluctant about forming any habits that would impair his health or cast reflection upon his conduct or the good name of his parents and the other members of his family. He was persevering in his devotion to his lofty ideals of Christian citizenship and he died as he had lived- a conscientious, pure exemplary young man. It is, of course, sad to realize that one who was so young in years, whose life was so full of promise to his parents and relatives, and whose deportment was in thorough harmony with the earnest aspirations of hopeful, zealous fatherhood and motherhood, should have been taken away, but there is abiding consolation in the Christian realization that a well spent life is but a preparation for a higher and grander existence that will continue for all eternity. Edward McNally has left behind those whose regard he most affectionately cherished, has performed his last act of duty, kindness, and love, and has lisped his last word of hope for the eternal treasures that Providence so generously bestows on those who persevere in humility, goodness, and charity to the end. All that is left is a fond memory of how he lived, what he did, and the purer, better things for which his tender young heart unceasingly yearned. This, of course, is precious to those whose heads are lowered in sorrow...

ARMY IN WHICH MCNALLY FOUGHT WON ALL BATTLES

Last Veteran at Rockford Enlisted at Age of 16 in Infantry

Editor's Note: Following is another article in a series of Civil war

veterans residing in this section.

ROCKFORD, May 3. - Alex McNally, 88, Rockford's only living Civil war veteran, enlisted in the army of the Tennessee in January, 1863, at the age of 16 and was discharged Aug. 14, 1865 at Madison, Wis. He was a member of company D, 17th Regiment, Wisconsin infantry. The army of the Tennessee was the answer to a telegram from the secretary of war to the governor of Illinois, dated April 19, 1861, requesting the Illinois governor to send four regiments to occupy Cairo, Ill.

The militia sent in compliance largely re-enlisted for three years and was reinforced by other regiments. As an army, the army of the Tennessee never suffered a single defeat during four years of war. Every fortification which it assailed surrendered, every force against it was either defeated or destroyed.

No officer was ever assigned to command of the army who had afterwards to be relieved from it or to be reduced to another command.

Some of the battles in which Mr. McNally engaged were Vicksburg, Nashville, Lookout Mountain, Atlanta, Ga., Brush Mountain, Savannah Ga., Goldsborough and the heavy battle near Richmond, W. Va., which lasted two days and a night and which ended the war. Besides the major battles listed, Mr. McNally engaged in numerous minor battles and skirmishes. Mr. McNally's family consists of five sons, Frank, Robert, Alexander, William and Edward McNally. His wife is dead.

Mr. McNally's health is good. He has attended church regularly and has made frequent trips down town all winter.

From Krista McNally:wmcnally41@home.com Jan 28, 2000:

Oral history in our family says that Alex was born in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. We have a newspaper article which has him enlisting at the age of 16 in 1863 in the Army of the Tennessee, a member of Company D, 17th regiment, Wisconsin Infantry.

Alexander lived to be 90 years old and spent some of his later years with his son, William (my grandfather) and daughter-in-law, Marie (Guehl) McNally, here in Battle Creek.

He survived the civil war intact, but lost the use of one arm in a farming accident later in life. He refused to have the limb amputated. His son William was married twice. His children from the first marriage were James (Jim), Micky, Charlene, and a baby I don't remember the name of - but the first wife ran off with a lover that may have been that child's real father. Later he married my Grandmother, Marie (Guehl) Blough whose first husband had died. They had two sons William Anthony "Buzz" McNally (my father) and Korlus "Korky" McNally. William Sr. was 50 years old when my dad was born in 1937. My grandfather lived to be 72 years old and died of an aneurysm. My grandparents lived most of their life here in Battle Creek, MI where my father met and married Joan King. My sister is Minda Marie, born April 29th, 1970 and I am Krista Anne, born October 19th, 1972. Korlus married Rebecca (Christiansen) Squires (who was divorced from a previous husband) and had two girls as well: Angela and Kelly.

From the Emmetsburg Democrat, Wednesday, January 8, 1919:

Mrs. John Joynt Dead

She was one of the Highly Esteemed Ladies of our County

Mrs. John Joynt of this city, one of the best known ladies in Emmetsburg, died Tuesday evening of last week, at 9:30, at the home of her son, M.W. Joynt, of West Bend. She had been quite ill for some time. The remains were brought to this city Wednesday evening and were taken to the home of her brother, Edward McNally. The funeral was held on Thursday. Services were conducted at the Assumption church. Very Rev P.F. Farrelly officiating. He celebrated a requiem high mass. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. The pall bearers were Peter Bough, John O'Brien, Michael Fleming, J.S. Martin, Daniel Burns and J.K. Martin.

Rose Ann McNally was born at Ixonie Center, Wisconsin, January 19, 1850. She was nearing her 69th year. In 1872 she came to this county with her parents, who located a few miles west of this city. She was married to John Joynt in September, 1872. For many years they made their home on a farm in Emmetsburg township. Sixteen years ago they moved to Emmetsburg. Mr. Joynt died in February, 1912. Mrs. Joynt is survived by her son, M.W. of West Bend, her daughter, Mrs. M.C. Hoben, of Highland township, and a son, Henry Joynt of Emmetsburg township. Another daughter, Mrs. E.F. Murphy, passed away four years ago. Three children died when quite young. Seven brothers and a sister also mourn the death of Mrs. Joynt. The brothers are Myles, John, Patrick, and Edward McNally of this city, Thomas of Green Bay, Wisconsin, Alex of Rockford, Iowa, and C.J. of Austin, Minnesota. An only sister, Mrs. J.J. Kane resides in this city.

Mrs. Joynt was one of the most humble, sincere, conscientious Christian ladies in our county. For years she attended mass every morning and her aspirations and her actions were in admirable harmony with her professions. Providence was generous to her, bestowing upon her a cheerful disposition and many rich spiritual blessings. That she treasured them and safeguarded them was well known to all who were acquainted with her. Her life was consecrated to her God, to the peace and happiness of her home and to the welfare of her country. She was beloved by acquaintances and friends as well as by the members of her own household. She was a thoughtful, obliging neighbor, a watchful, indulgent mother and a warm faithful friend. She provided amply and zealously for her own sons and daughters and her heart went out in motherly sympathy to those who, early in life, were left without the attention and the care of solicitous parents. Though of a highly developed religious nature, she was always cheerful and she was ever willing and ready to participate in innocent domestic amusements. No one could spend a more congenial hour with a neighbor than Mrs. Joynt. In community affairs she was ready for any task which she might, in the assignments of companions and friends, be asked to perform. She had unbounded faith in divine guidance and helpfulness and she was prepared to make the great sacrifices that others might reap the reward and that society might in the end be substantially benefited. All who knew Mrs. Joynt will learn with unfeigned regret of her death. The Democrat extends sincere sympathy to the sorrowing sons, daughters, and other relatives.

JOHN JOYNT PASSES AWAY

Was a Resident of Palo Alto County for 42 years.

John Joynt, one of lthe old and respected citizens of our county, died at his home in this city last Thursday afternoon. Although he had not been a rugged man for several years, he was able to be about almost continually until a short time ago. He attended the funeral of the late Very Rev. J. J. Smith about three weeks ago and it is though that the exposure to the cold air was injurious to his physical condition. He was taken with a sudden change and went to bed soon after. he gradually became weaker until he finally passed away. The funeral was held Friday morning. Services were conducted at Assumption church, Father Conway officiating. There was a large attendance. The Ancient Order of Hibernians, of which order he had been a member for many years, were out in large numbers and walked in the procession to the church and to St. John’s cemetery, where the burial took place.

The pall bearers were John R. and Joseph Joynt, John Finn, W.P. and W.T. McNally, and Joseph Kane, all nephews of the deceased.

Mr. Joynt was born in the parish of Kilmacduagh, county of Galway, Ireland in 1845. He was 66 years of age. He came to the United States in March, 1867, residing in Dubuque county for three years. He became a resident of Palo Alto county in the spring of 1870, subsequently living in this locality. September 10, 1872, he was united in marriage to Miss Rose Ann McNally. Besides the wife, there are two daughters and one son living. the are M.W. Joynt, Mrs. M. Hoben and Mrs. E.F. Murphy, all of this locality. His brothers, Patrick and Michael Joynt, and his sisters, Mrs. Walter Keating and Mrs. Daniel Higgins, also live in this vicinity. Another sister, Mrs. P. Nally, resides in Ireland. Henry Joynt and Mrs. C.G. Worley made their home with Mr. and Mrs. Joynt from childhood until they attained their years of manhood and womanhood.

No one in our country led a more exemplary life than did Mr. Joynt. His motives from a conscientious point of view were much higher than those of the average citizen. He was humble and mild of manner and he was scrupulously honest. He showed by his utterances and by his actions that he had a deep seated faith in providential reward for meritorious deeds and that he feared divine displeasure for human disregard of important precepts and obligations. He was a charitable man. This was particularly noticeable in his attitude towards his fellow citizens. He would not intentionally do any one an injustice and he was very slow to criticise those who might have wronged him. He was a religious man. He would not allow any any temporal consideraton to interfere with the performance of what he regarded as his obligations as a Catholic. He was kind, obliging, patient and cheerful. He realized that a person should be practical and good natured as well as serious and dutiful. One who can stand, in the same neighborhood, for forty years or more, the ordinary test to which he is subjected and maintain successfully the high regard of those who know him intimately an who have an opportunity of realizing his frailities does not need a tribute from the pen of any one to add to the reputation that he has made as a member of society. The writer knew Mr. Joynt as a friend and well wisher for more than a quareter of a century and he feels a personal loos in his death. The surviving members of the family and the other relatives have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.

From the Palo Alto Reporter, Thursday, March 26, 1924:

Mrs. J.J. Kane

Last week we made brief mention of the death of Mrs. J.J. Kane, who passed away at her home in this city last Thursday evening following a long illness. Services were held Saturday forenoon from St. Thomas church, Rev. McNerney having charge. The burial was in St. Johns cemetery. The funeral was very largely attended. The pall bearers were Charles Duhigg, K. J. McElroy, James Bryce, Peter Dally, M.F. Kerwick and Geo. Baker.

Sarah McNally was born at Ixonia Center, Wisconsin, July 18, 1852 and grew to womanhood in her home community. Later the family removed to Mappleton where on April 17, 1871 she was united in marriage to J.J. Kane. They moved to Palo Alto County and made their home on a farm near Crippen, residing there until 1910 when they moved to Camp Crook, So. Dakota. They lived in South Dakota for a couple of years and then moved to this city, which has been their home ever since. Six sons and five daughters came to the home. Ths sons are M.P. of Clinton, John of Cando North Dakota, Ed and Chas of this city and Robert and Joseph of Bowman, North Dakota. The daughters are Mrs. Britt Catern of Camp Crook, South Dakota, Mrs. James Dower of Marengo, Mrs. E.J. Bradley of Graettinger, Mrs. Emil Dahl of Rahme, North Dakota and Catherine, who died a few years ago.

The passing of Mrs. Kane takes from this world one more of Palo Alto's old settlers. Mr. and Mrs. Kane came to this county 53 years ago and with the exception of two years have made their home here. These early settlers are responsible for the many benefits which we enjoy today and needless to say Mrs. Kane did her share of the work to be done at that time cheerfully and willingly. The past few years, of course, Mrs. Kane has not been active due to failing health and the past year or so she has been very low at times, and in spite of all that could be done, the grim reaper final came to claim her. Mr .and Mrs. Kane have many friends in this county acquired during their long residence. They are admired by many. Mrs. Kane was a faithful member of the Catholic church. The sympathy of all goes out to Mr. Kane and the sons and daughters in their sorrow.

From the Palo Alto Tribune, Wed, July 11, 1923:

Pat McNally Laid to Rest

Cancer Brings Death to Longtime Resident of County Thursday, July 5

Mr. Patrick McNally died at his home in the Third ward at 2 a.m. Thursday, July 5, after a lengthy illness. For some time Mr. McNally has been in a very serious condition. He was taken to Iowa City in the early spring but it was learned that he was suffering from an internal cancer and could not be helped. He suffered a great deal and, sad though death always is, it came to him as a kindly relief.

Funeral services were conducted at the Assumption Church at ten o'clock Saturday. Monsignor Farrelly officiated and celebrated a requiem high mass, assisted by Rev. J.J. Neppel of Mallard and Rev. L.J. Savage. The body was laid to rest in St. John's cemetery.

The active pall bearers were W.I. Branagan, John O'Brien, Robert Laughlin, James Neary, Dan Burns and T.F. Rutledge. The honarary pall bearers were all grandsons of Mr. McNally. They were Ralph and Edwin Joynt, Herman and Patrick Doering, Francis and Gerald McNally.

Patrick McNally was born at Exonia, Wisconsin on September 25, 1855. He came to Iowa in 1872 and lived on a farm west of town for many years. He farmed for some time before coming to Emmetsburg. He worked for the Creamery company for several years. This was thirty-nine years ago.

Later he engaged in business for himself in this city. This business he conducted for many years.

On November 24, 1879, he was united in marriage with Miss Maggie A. Hickey. To this union ten children were born. All survive their father and were at his bedside at the time of his death.

The seven daughters are Mrs. T.P. Joynt, of Emmetsburg township, Mrs. J.B. Doerning and Mrs. P.J. Grethen of Mallard, Mrs. J.J. Clemon of Sioux Falls, Mrs. W. Mart of Fairmont Minn., Mrs. E.J. Frederick of Osgood and Miss Sarah McNally who is at home.

The three sons are W.P. and R.F. McNally of this city and J.J. McNally of Sibley. He is also survived by his wife, one sister and six brothers. The sister is Mrs. J.J. Kane of this city. The brothers are Myles, John and Edward McNally of this place, C.J. McNally of Austin, Minn., Thomas McNally of Green Bay, Wis., and Alexander of Waterloo. He has also thirty-three grandchildren.

For over fifty-one years Mr. McNally was a resident of this county. In that time he formed a broad acquaintance, and few who knew him would speak ill of him.

In his home he meant much to his family. He was a devoted husband, a kind and indulgent father. The tender care and the devotion which were lavished upon him during his last illness was expressive of the great devotion of his wife and children for him. The exceptionally large attendance at his funeral showed the high regard in which he was held in the community.

While Mr. McNally was congenial and easy to deal with, he had decided opinions of his own, and his convictions, whether right or wrong, were honest and sincere. He was hearty, hospitable and neighborly. He loved to do a good turn to another and was deeply grateful for any kindness extended to him. He had very many admirable traits of character, that were hidden under the cover of unostentation. His life might naturally have been prolonged for many years had it not been for the uncurable cancer. This thought, together with the agonizing absence of a loved one, will make the grief of the bereaved exceedingly difficult to bear. But time and a hope in future reward will bring consolation to their sorrowing hearts.

To them the Tribune extends sincere sympathy.

Notes for MARGARET ANN HICKEY:

1932:

Mrs. McNally Passes Away at Mallard

Was born in 1856 the First White Child in Palo Alto County

Mrs. Margaret Hickey McNally, daughter of the Judge and Mrs. James Hickey passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ben Doerning of Mallard Thursday, May 5 after a prolonged illness. The most tender care and nursing was given her for the many years she suffered. She was a remarkably patient patient. Death seemed to come at last as a kind relief.

Funeral services were conducted at the Assumption church at 9:30 Saturday morning. The Rev. Father Finnegan officiated and celebrated a requiem high mass. The pallbearers were Ralph Grethen, Harold Clennon, Irvin Joynt, Gerald McNally, and Herman and Arnold Doerning, six grandsons of the deceased. Burial was in St. John's cemetery beside the body of her husband who died some years ago.

Mrs. Margaret Hickey was the first white child born in Palo Alto County. Mr and Mrs. James Hickey came to Ft. Dodge about the time the original Irish Colony came to Palo Alto county and joined the colony here a few months later, in the early fall of 1856.

On October 14, 1856 Margaret was born. The following spring the Hickey family moved farther south across the river and located on section 35-96-33, or in Emmetsburg Township. She attended the country school and later went to school at Ft. Dodge, making the trips to and from that place by stage. Much of fher education was obtained while she helped her mother in the home, or caring for her younger brothers and sisters, or helping her father in the postoffice.

She grew to womanhood on the farm and on November 25, 1879 she united in marriage with Patrick McNally. For five years they made their home on a farm and then moved to Emmetsburg.

In 1888 they took up their residence in their own home here where they resided until July 5, 1923 when Mr. McNally passed away. Mrs. McNally continued to reside there until September, 1930, when she was taken to the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.B. Doerning, where she was cared for.

Mrs. McNally was a woman of fine character. She had a gentle and loving disposition. She was earnest, kind and true to her family and friends. A devoted wife and mother, she never left anything undone which meant peace, comfort or happiness to her loved ones. Her name has always been one of hte prominent ones in Palo Alto County and will always be remembered in the history of the place.

She is survived by three sons, W.P. and Rob of this county and James of Sibley and six daughters, Mrs. Tom Joynt of Emmetsburg Township, Mrs. B.F. Doerning and Mrs. Pete Grethen of Mallard, Mrs. J. J. Clennon of Sioux Falls, Mrs. Nick Marks of East Chain, Minnesota, Mrs. Elmer Frederick of Osgood and Miss Sarah McNally of Mallard.

To all of them the Tribune extends sincere sympathy, and is assured that her blessed memory will be a great consolation to them.

From the Emmetsburg Reporter September 12, 1950

Prominent Local Man Served in Many Civic Jobs

Edward McNally, 86, prominent and longtime resident of Emmetsburg, died in the local hospital Monday morning at 9 o'clock after a lingering illness.

Mr. McNally had been ill for many months and not infrequently critically ill but his great vitality and "will to live" had always carried him through. Since August he had been at the home of his daughter, Mr. and Mrs. D.W. Joynt, near Emmetsburg and the last week he was treated at the hospital.

***

Even in his last days he retained his cheerful attitude and sense of humor. When asked one morning recently if a crying child had kept him awake during the night, his eyes twinkled and he said, "No, I probably kept the baby awake."

***

Funeral services will be held at Assumption church Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock with the Very W.F. Mason, his pastor and longtime friend, officiating. Burial will be in St. John's cemetery. The body will be at the McNally home at 2108 Fourteenth street, until the time of the funeral. The Martin Funeral Home is in charge.

Few residents of Emmetsburg had lived here so long or been so active in building up the community as Mr. McNally. One of the real "old timers", he came to Palo Alto county with his parents in a covered wagon 75 years ago.

The family settled just west of the Des Moines reiver and began farming operations, the boy, "Ed", putting in some hard licks and long days on the farm. Schools were few and far between and formal education ended with the third grade, but Mr. McNally, with a hunger for learning, "made out" his own education and became one of Palo Alto county's best versed men in business and financial matters.

He was 23 when he met Miss Jenny Griffen in Emmetsburg and a year later they were married. They had eight children, three boys and five girls, six of whom are living. Mrs. McNally passed away 28 years ago and Mr. McNally became both a father and "mother" to the growing family of children. Never shirking this care, he showered attention and devotion on his youngsters through the years he alone bore this responsibility.

***

He was one of Emmetsburg's best known businessmen, for years serving as head of the McNally Real Estate and Abstract firm. But he alwasy spared time for communitly service and has probably contributed as much as any other person to civic affairs. He served on the draft boards of both World War I and World War II capably, and fairly.

***

He is a former secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, a former deputy sheriff and a former of the Board of Education. In all of these duties he gave his best efforts.

Mr. McNally had a wide understanding of human nature and helped ocuntless persons when they were in need. His sympathy for the trials of others won him many friends.

He had a big store of "common sense" and contempt for what he felt wer foolish worries. Till well toward the last, he defied hsi doctor's orders and reported for duty at his office, climbing a flight of stairs to reach them.

The community will regret his death and extends sympathy to the family. The six surviving children are Ray and Maurice McNally, Mrs. Floyd McCain, Mrs. Paul Kerber and Mrs. D.W. Joynt, all of Emmetsburg, and Sister Mary Edwardetta of Holy Angels convent in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Notes for JANE JENNIE GRIFFIN:

1-28-1912

MRS. EDWARD McNALLY

Died Early Sunday Morning After a Long Illness

Sunday morning Mrs. Edward McNally passed away at her home in this city. She was taken ill during the latter part of January. She was given the best of medical attention and she had the assistance of a trained nurse during her long and most trying illness, but it seems that death had claimed her. She retained her courage to the last, ardently hoping that she might be spared to give for a few years longer the loving, motherly attention that her family required; but such, it is evident, was not the will of Providence. She died fully fortified by all of the spiritual advantages that the fervant, confiding Christian could possess in passing from time to eternity.

The funeral was held Tuesday. There was a requiem high mass at Assumption church. Father Conway was the celebrant. The interment was in St. John’s cemetery. There was a large attendance. The W.O.O.F. and the L.A. of the A.O.H. were present. The pall bearers were Bert Hughes, E.J. McEvoy, W.I.Branagan, J.R. Martin, P.F. McMahon and Peter Bough. There were a number of beautiful floral offerings, the gifts of friends and societies to which Mrs. McNally belonged.

Jane Griffin was born at Caledonia, Houston county, Minnesota, March 1, 1865. She came to Palo Alto county about thirty years ago. July 23, 1888 she was united in marriage to Edward McNally at Assumption church in this city, Rev. Daniel Murphy officiating. Mr. and Mrs. McNally subsequently made their home in Emmetsburg. The surviving members of the family are the husband, three sons and four daughters. The sons are Raymond R., Clement J., and Maurice Edward. The daughters are Elizabeth Genevieve, Mary Bernette, Veronica Kathlene and Mildred Irene. One daughter died in infancy. Her father, Maurice Griffin, who is quite aged, lives at Red Wing, Minnesota, as do also two sisters, Mrs. Richard Walsh and Mrs. Wm. Search. Another sister, Mrs. C.P. McCormick, resides at Houston, Minnesota. There are two brothers, John Griffin of Graettinger and Michael of Seattle, Washington. Mrs. McNally was a member of the W.O.O.F. the L.A. of the A.O.H., the Living Rosary Society and the Purgatorial Society.

The death of Mrs. McNally is not only an irrepable loss to her devoted husband and seven sons and daughters, but it is keenly felt by our entire community, of which she was an acitve, worthy, and helpful member for nearly a quarter of a century. She was a lady of more than average intelligence, of keen discernment, and of true zeal for the attainment of all that is elevating and edifying in the lives of individuals as well as in the organized efforts of communities. Those who knew her intimately were fully convinced of this predominating purpose in her character. No woman in Emmetsburg understood better her responsibilities in her home and none, we are sure, gave to them closer, more far seeing or more self-sacrificing attention. That her love, care, devotion and maternal ambition had more than ordinary influence on the members her household was unmistakably manifested by them during the uncertain, slowly passing, painful hours of her last illness. To their spiritual and temporal welfare she had given the best years of her pious, thoughful, industrious, helpful life and they, in return, did everything that affection could suggest to assist her, to comfort her and to cheer her. Mrs. McNally was not only one of the most anxious, prudent, and provident of mothers, but she was a warm-hearted friend, an obliging neighbor, a practical social planner, and an exceptionally willing worker in church affairs. In fact she was never indifferent if any local activity in which she felt it her duty to make herself useful. She was always willing to undertake her part and to do it as well as her ability and time would permit. Her confidences in God’s goodness, her readiness to do his holy will as best she could, and her disposition to make any sacrifice that he might require of her earned for her the high regard of those who appreciate sincere motives and enobling Christian deeds, and they did much to make her laudable efforts successful. She was called at a comparatively early age from those whom she so fondly loved and for whom she had so anxiously and helpfully toiled. May Providence comfort and guide them, during the coming years, and lighten the burden of anguish that now weighs heavily on their tender hearts. The sympathy of all is extended to Mr. McNally, to the sons and daughters, and to the other relatives in their bereavement.

Most of them made the trip from Omaha to this city Friday and Saturday by auto. They broke down near P. Hanilan's and had to walk to town. Mr. McNally denies the allegation that he ran short of cash while out with the boys and had to hoof it home.

the crackerjacks, and the actors were just like the old western movies groups

that did that type of stuff. Clem was full of BS and was reputed to have

actually sold refrigerators to the Eskimos [grandma would never talk about

it] . The tent took up 1 full block in length and about a quarter of a block

wide. I rather liked Clem.

He married Hazel Cass [I don't know if she was an actress or a want to be} I

didn't care for her much probably because she didn't care for me much.

From the Emmetsburg Democrat, Friday, Sept 2, 1938:

Clem McNally Passed Away at Sumner

Widely Known Businessman Died Monday Following Attack of Flu. Funeral was Held in Emmetsburg Yesterday.

Clem J. McNally, son of Edward McNally of this city, and one of the most widely known young businessmen in northern Iowa, passed away at his home at Sumner at 8 o'clock monday evening. Mr. McNally's death was the results of a hemmorhage, following a short siege of the flu. Tuesday evening of last week Mr. McNally made a motor trip to Renwick to look after some business in his theatre at that place. He evidently caught a cold during the evening. Friday, not feeling well, he made a special auto trip to Emmetsburg to visit his father. During the day he developed a high temperature and returned to his home at Sumner. He went to bed immediately. A physician was called. During Saturday and Sunday Mr. McNally seemed to be recovering nicely. Monday evening, following a visit from his physician and his close friend, Father John Fischer, he decided to get out of bed and take a bath. After he completed the bath he was overcome by a severe choking spell which immediately developed into a hemorrhage. His physician and Father Fischer were immediately called, but nothing could be done to save his life. He passed away about an hour later.

Funeral services were conducted in the Catholic church at Sumner Wednesday morning, with the pastor, Rev. John Fischer, officiating. There was a large attendance. Following the services the remains were brought to this city, arriving in Emmetsburg late Wednesday afternoon. They remained in the parental home until Thursday morning when at 9:30 o'clock, following brief religious services in the home conducted by the Very Rev. W. F. Mason, they were interred in St. John's cemetery.

The Foy Funeral home had charge of local arrangements. The pall bearers were Bert Ryan, Bert Hughes, James Morrisey, Wm. McNamara, Wm. Kerwick, and W.T. Branagan.

Clement Joseph McNally, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward McNally, was born in Emmetsburg on October 28, 1890. He was nearly 48 years of age at the time of his passing. He spent his youth in this city where he attended St. Mary's Academy. Following his preparatory education in Emmetsburg, Clement later matriculated in Creighton University at Omaha, Nebr. for a number of years he assisted his father in various capacities in the land and loan business. He later entered into the real estate business on his own and was active in that capacity in many states. He spent several years in Florida, during the boom period.

Mr. McNally was united in marriage to Hazel M. Cass at Cedar Rapids on January 15, 1930. Together they engaged in the outdoor theatre business, a business that had been built up by the bride and her family for many years. Mr. and Mrs. McNally entered the moving picture business a few years ago. They, together with other members of the Cass family, conducted a chain of twelve theatres in eastern Iowa and were contemplating the addition of two more theatres to their holdings at the time of Mr. McNally's death. The theatres owned are at Sumner, Waucoma, Nashua, Stacyville, Renwick, Coggan, Strawberry Point, Arlington, Maple Rock and Lime Spring.

Clem McNally leaves to mourn his passing his wife and a daughter, Mrs. George Caldwell of Nashua. he is also bereaved by his father, Edward McNally of this city, and by the following brothers and sisters: Ray McNally, Cincinnati, Ohio; Maurice McNally, Detroit, Michigan; Sister Mary Edwardetta, Dubuque, Ia; Mrs. Floyd McCain, Palmer, and Mrs. Wm Joynt and Mrs. Paul Kerber, both of this city.

The death of Clem McNally is sincerely mourned by a wide circle of friends, not only in Emmetsburg but throughout the state. The deceased was a most personable and friendly man. Blessed with an engaging personality and marked ability, he found it easy to cultivate worthwhile friendships almost anywhere he went. He was truly the open hearted and generous type, willing to go to almost any extreme to help a friend in need. He had a genius for organization, was clever in his management of election campaigns and was a quick and ready thinker. Clem McNally was outspoken and sincere in his convictions. He was never inclined to compromise on matters of principle. He was naturally progressive. His death is a severe blow to Mrs. McNally, to his father with whom he was so closely associated for many years, and to his brothers and sisters and other relatives who always knew him for his loyalty, his kindness and his willingness at all times to share the family burdens with them. The Democrat unites with hundreds of friends in extending sincere sympathy to all who are bereaved by this sudden passing.

Relatives from a distance who attended the funeral yesterday were Sister Mary Edwardetta of Dubuque, Maurice McNally of Detroit and Ray McNally of Cincinnati, Mr. Floyd McCain of Palmer, Mr. and Mrs. George Caldwell of Nashua and Mrs. Tessie Farley and daughter, Frances, of Waterloo.

Died Rather Unexpectedly

Miss Claudie, Twin Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.E. Murphy

A sad death occurred in this city last Wednesday. Tuesday afternoon while returning to St. Mary's academy, after the dinner hour, Claudie Murphy, aged 11, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.E. Murphy of Emmetsburg township, fell on the ice a short distance north of the building, her head striking on the ground. She did not seem to be injured very badly at the time and, after going into her room, took her seat as usual. She complained during the afternoon that she had a headache. She did not jinform her Sister what had happened to her. She was told that she need not study until she would feel better. She returned to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John McNally where she and her little twin sister were boarding, and after eating a light supper, retired for the night. She complained that she was not feeling very well but Mrs. McNally did not consider her condition in any sense serious. The following morning she did not get up. She did not have any appetite but drank a little coffee. Mrs. McNally washed her face and comberd her hair but did not consider her ill enough to send for her parents. Her little sister went to school as usual. About eleven o'clock Claudie became worse. Dr. Hennessy was summoned. He did not realize what had happend to her, as she had not told anyone about falling down and injuring her head. She died within an hour. Dr. Hennessy says he is confident that her death was the result ot the concussion of the brain. Teh remains were taken to the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Myles McNally, of this city. Her parents did not reach her bedside in time to see her alive.

The funeral was held Friday morning, most of the girls of the Academy attending in a body. Services were conducted at Assumption church at 10 o'clock, Very Rev. P.F. Farrelly celebrating a requiem high mass. At the close he spoke of her aptness, diligence and obedience as a pupil and of the sacrifices that her parents had made to give their children a religious education, closing with a few well chosen remarks on the responsibility of parents in providing for the moral safety of their boys and girls. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. The pall bearers were Carl Berger, Ray Nally, Herbert Claer, Earl Murphy, Michael Collins, and Peter Collins.

Seldom has death occasioned more profound sorrow in our community than did the passing of this sweet, innocent little school girl. She was a twin daughter and she was the recipient of many attentions by friends as well as the hope of loving solicitious and zealous parental hearts. They had spared no effort to give thier children special opportunities and it is sad to think that she was stricken down almost without a moment's warning. However, Providence must have a wise purpose in permitting such occurrences. His ways are indeed often mysterious. The sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended to the parents and other relatives in their sorrow.

Married to a Murphy who was still alive at time of her death. She was 34 years 7 months 8 days at time of death. Her death record lists her as Murphy,Mary B. and parents are listed as Roseanne McNally and John Joynt that is why I know she is married to a Murphy.

Obit from The Palo Alto Tribune Wed. Jan. 6th, 1914:

Mrs. Ed Murphy

Sad indeed was the message that conveyed news of the death of Mrs. Ed Murphy which occurred at ther home in Walnut township on Wednesday of last week. Following the birth of a baby the mother was summoned from life and the baby too passed away. The body was brought to Emmetsburg for burial. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Louis Anthofer at Assumption church on New Years Day and the interment was made in St. John's cemetery. Miss Mary Joynt was born in Emmetsburg township on May 2, 1875. There she grew to young womanhood. On May 20, 1894 she was united in marriage to Edward Murphy. To this union thirteen children were born, five of whom survive their mother. Mrs. Murphy was a good woman, faithful in her duties, devotion and sacrifices to her husband and family. Much indeed, has been taken from them, for on earth there is no love like mother love, and none other can administer such care as she. Death is sad at any time but when a young woman, in the prime of life, a mother whose care in devotion is needed by dependent children is taken, only the knowledge that a Divine Providence has intervened, can satisfy human nature that all is well. Besides her husband and five children, Mrs. Murphy leaves her mother, Mrs. John Joynt, one sister, Mrs. Michael Hoben, and a half brother, Henry Joynt, all of whom share in teh sympathy of the community which is freely extended.

Kane--Joynt.

Mr. Michael P. Kane and Miss Winnifred Joynt were married at the Catholic church yesterday morning. Rev. M.J. Costello performing the marriage ceremony. Mr. John Kane and Miss Maggie Joynt accompanied them as witnesses to the altar. The performance of the ceremony was witnessed by a large circle of friends and relatives. During the afternoon and evening a grand reception was held at the spacious and hospitable home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Joynt, where hundreds of invited guests assembled to make merry and participate in the festivities the occasion afforded.

The contracting parties are widely and favorably known. The groom has been a resident of this city for several years, is genial, industrious, pleasant and large hearted, and his acquaintances are his friends. The bride is a most deserving young lady, who is in every way worthy of the respect she enjoys and has justly earned the esteem of those who prize her friendship because of her many redeeming personal qualities. She has in every way fully earned the social standing she represents. May fortune smile kindly on Mr. and Mrs. Kane and may the brightest of landscapes surround their hymenial journey.

From the Emmetsburg Democrat, Wednesday, April 10, 1901:

Mrs. Michael Kane, wife of the gentleman who drives dray for Cadwell and Cadwell, died suddenly at an early hour this morning. They reside at 218 East Sixth. Mrs. Kane had been feeling unusually well. Last night she retired at the usual hour feeling well and happy. At about one o'clock this morning she aroused from a heavy sleep and awakened Mr. Kane stating that she had an awful pain in her head. In a minute she fell back on her pillow and began to groan. Mr. Kane put cold applications on her head but this affording no relief he went for a doctor. Everything was done for her that could be done, but she never regained consciousness and passed away about three o'clock. She was a lady well liked by those who knew her. The remains were taken to Emmetsburg this afternoon where burial will take place-Mason City Times-Herald, Wednesday April 3rd.

The Democrat made brief mention of the death of Mrs. Kane in last Wednesday's issue. Her remains arrived here Wednesday evening and were laid to rest Friday. Brief services were held at the Catholic church and the interment was in St. John's cemetery. Though the morning was very rainy, there was an unusually large funeral. The pall bearers were L.E. Murphy, Edward Murphy, Jas. Nally, M.M. Maher, Edward McNally and James Donahue.

Mrs. Kane was born in this county April 9, 1872. Her maiden name was Winnie Joynt. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Joynt. June 2, 1890, she became the wife of Mr. Kane. They lived in this city until two years ago when they moved to Mason City. They have no children. The deceased was a most worthy person and and estimable Christian lady. The husband, parents, and the large family of sons and daughters have the sympathy of all in the loss of one whose life was so exemplary and whose memory will be fondly cherished by all.

Although your form, all lifeless, in the church yard lies at rest,

Your presence, it shall linger by fondest deeds impressed;

So sleep that sleep refreshing, that knows no earthly care;

Although with bitter sobs we call for the form we love so dear;

But, with your fondest memories your presence will remain,

Until, through God, in happiness, with thee we meet again.

---A Friend.

McNally-Stamback

Mr. Edward McNally and Miss Amelia Stamback were united in marriage at Sacred Heart church Monday morning at 7 o'clock with Father Carrol officiating. Miss Anna McGuire acted as bridesmaid and Mr. Louis Rodenborn of Fort Dodge as best man. The bride wore a beautiful dress of white brocaded charmuse and a long veil. The bridesmaid was very becomingly attired in a dress of pink brocaded crepe meior and a large white panama hat. Both groom and groomsmen wore black suits. Miss Loretta Maguire played Lohrengrin's wedding march. After the ceremony at the church an elaborate wedding breakfast was served by the bride's mother at her home. At 12 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. McNally left for Ruthven by auto and from there will go to Mason City for a visit at the J. Stamback home after which they will spend some time at the lakes before taking up their residence in Estherville.

The bride is the only daughter of Mrs. J. Stamback. She has grown to womanhood in this community and her friends are numbered only by her acquaintances. She is of a bright sunshiny disposition and has a kind word and a pleasant smile for all. She has held several positions of trust and has never been found lacking in any of them. She will be a helpmate indeed to the man who has won her.

The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John McNally of Emmetsburg. He is a product of this county and a young man of whom we all feel proud. He clerked here for J. T. Maguire for several years and was one of the most popular clerks that has ever worked in the town. At present he holds a responsible position in a large grocery store in Estherville and is making good. He is honest, industrious and thrifty and will be successful in any line of work he may see fit to follow. We predict a bright future for him.

Marriage Notes for MARGARET MCNALLY and JOHN CLENNON:

From the Emmetsburg Democrat, 10 Jan 1912:

Were Married Monday

Mr. John Joseph Clennon and Miss Margaret McNally

Mr. John Joseph Clennon and Miss Margaret McNally were united in marriage at Assumption church Monday morning.

Misses Ruth Reilly and Mary O'Brien rendered Mendellsohn's beautiful wedding march as the bridal party passed up the center aisle to the altar. The ceremony was performed by Rev. C.P. Conway. Miss Julia Drummy was bridesmaid and Mr. Eugene M. Clennon was best man. During the nuptial mass, Mr. C.J. Berger sang "O, Promise Me" and Miss Ruth Reilly sang "Ave Maria". A number of invited relatives were in attendance. At the close of the ceremony, the contracting parties repaired to the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. McNally, where a five course wedding breakfast was served. Only immediate relatives were in attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Clennon left on the south bound Rock Island passenger train for Joliet, Illinois where they will visit relatives and friends for a few days, after which they will spend a short time in Chicago. After March 1 they will make their home on a farm near West Bend.

The bride is one of Emmetsburg's popular, accomplished young ladies. She has resided in this city since childhood, attended St. Mary Academy for many years and has had athe best educational and social advantages that our community affords. That she has fully profited by them is more than apparent to all who know her. She was for several years employed in the mercantile establishments of our city and always proved herself capable, ready and popular as a saleslady. The West Bend people will find her a willing, cheerful helper in every worthy movement in which she may decide to apply her energies. Teh groom is one of our ideal young men. He is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. M Clennon. No gentleman stands higher in the estimation of friends and associates. What could we say that would be more complimentary to him? We can assure the citizens of West Bend that he will more than make good as an intelligent worker and as an upright, exemplary, useful citizen. We join the many friends of the bride and groom in wishing them health and happiness.
