Mrs Margaret Mcclure died at the
residence of her son-in-law, John
Hurley, on Monday morning, April
IA, aged 73 years and IL months. This
death removes one of our pioneer
settlers, woman widely known and
highly esteemed. The first twenty
| four years of Mrs McGuire's life was
spent in her native place, County
Tyrone, Ireland. In 1852 she came to
America, taking passage in sailing
vessel. The voyage required six
weeks. In 1860 she was married in
Philadelphia to John Mcclure, whose
arly home was at McGuire's Bridge,
reland. About seven years later
they moved to Oneida, I'll, where after
two years her husband died. In the
fall of 1869 Mrs Mcclure and her
children came to Kansas and settled
with her parents, brothers and sisters
on the farm near Walnut Grove, where
the Misses Culbertson and William
Culbertson still reside. In 1880 she
purchased the farm southeast of Mo-
ran where she remained eighteen years
when she rented the place and moved
to town to make her home with the
youngest daughter Mrs John Hurley.
Mrs McGuire's last illness was of
short duration, but her case was not
considered dangerous till the second
Sabbath when she suffered a stroke of
martial paralysis. This complicated
with pneumonia resulted fatally about
a week later. Throughout her illness
everything that love could devise or
money could buy that could add to
her comfort was lavished upon her by
the children whom she loved so ten
derly and whom she knew till
about the last. The God whom she
had served for more than twenty yeal S
was manifestly with her through the
long, weary house of illness and she
was eager for release from the limita
tions of the earthly life that she might
meet Him and the loved ones gone be-
fore. Her son, James Mcclure of
Osawatomie, was with her the last
week of her life as also were her three
daughters, Mrs Charles Hesson, Mrs
John Hurley and Maggie Mcclure.
The funeral services atthe M E church
Tuesday afternoon were attended by a
large crowd OF friends who will sin
cerely mourn and miss "Aunt Mag, "
as so many loved to call her. The
remains were laid to rest in the Moran
cemetery where they await a joyful
resurrection.
