On Saturday morning the Angel of
Death knocked at the door of Mrs.
Monohans happy and hospitable home
and ordered her to appear before her
Maker and take up her abode amongst
the Elect. The decedent was So years
old. Coming to Maple Grove with her
parents in the early tifties, she, while
still quite young, started in teaching
school under the great disadvantages
then existing. She continued teaching
until her marriage 70 Michael Monohan.
Since then she had resided with her
husband and children on the farm at
Wayside She was a woman possessed
of more than ordinary ability and in
telligence. Her one great aim in life
was to have her children receive good
education, so that they could 60 out in
to the business world and stand shoulder
to shoulder with their competitors In
this she certainly succeeded as her
children have made their mark in the
world either as teachers or business men.
Besides her husband and twelve
children, four girls and eight boys, she
leaves one sister, Mrs. j. Burke of Chi
cago, and one brother, Matt Finnegan
of Gillett. Her children are Mrs. D
Fielding, Mrs. Joe Linnane, Miss Mamie
and Miss Maud Tom, a leading business
man of Wayside, Ed of Florida Mike of
California, Matt Of Seattle, N. j.,
municipal judge of Brown Co., John,
undersheritf Of Brown Co., and Owen
and Willie, on the farm. The funeral
was held on Monday, interment being
at Maple Grove cemetery and Rev.
Father OConnell officiating. The
funeral was the largest ever seen at
Maple Grove. One pleasing, yet sad
sight, was to see six of her sons act as
pallbearers.
So let her sleep that dreanless sleep;
Though sorrows cluster round you now,
BE comforted, you loved who weep
She lives with God, she is not dead, only
gone before.
On Saturday, while Joe Guhin with
his hired man was cutting down some
trees, they had one tree about cut off
the stump, Joe happened to run in the
wrong direction, and when he looked
back, he saw the tree was about to come
down on him. He made one of his
quick moves and narrowly escaped be-
ing struck by the trunk of the tree, but
was struck by large limb and buried
in the deep snow where he lay I'M
for some time. He is slowly
Joe now claims that that
one quick move extended his time on
earth so years
