Fred C. Proctor, Of Pequaming, had
passed away 1t Mercy Hospital. Big
Rapids. Mich, on Saturday, March 7th,
where she had been undergoing treat
ment for the past few weeks.
While it was generally known that
Mrs. Mcmahon was in q very critical
condition, the news Of her death came
as severe shock to her many friends
in this vicinity, as she was widely and
favorably known here.
Deceased was % years of age, and
for the greater part Of ten years up to
three years ago made her home in
L'Anse and Pequaming, at which time
she became the wife Of Owen Mcmahon,
of Boyne Falls, and at which place she
has since resided. Prior to her mar
riage she was promising and energetic
pupil of L'Anse High School and in 1904
graduated with pleasing honors.
During her welded life two children
were born to her, the first responding to
the call of its Maker within few
months after birth; the second, bright
baby girl of month ago, or at about
the time of the beginning of Mrs. Nc
Mahon's final illness. and who now with
heart broken husband and father are
left to mourn her demise.
The funeral was held from st. Frances
Cathedral, at Petoskey, Tuesday morn
ing at 8 o'clock, the former home
of Mr.. Mcmahon, and was at
tended by host of friends and ac-
quaintances of the deceased. n
Prior to the funeral many beautiful
flora, offerings were forwarded to the
grief stricken ones from Mrs. Nc
Mahon's L'Anse friends, which plainly
attest the high esteem in which she
was held by all who claimed an ac-
quaintance, while perhaps the most
forceful expressions of like nature
which has come to our hand at this
time is the beautiful resolution of con-
dolence, which was framed by COM
mittee from the Boyne Falls council, of
which Mr. Mcmahon is member, and
which is as follows:
Boyne Falls, Mich, March 9, 1903.
Whereas, it has pleased ''the Maker
and Giver Of all things" to "Call Home"
forever, Mrs. Owen Mcmahon, there
fore be it
Resolved, That while we bow in SUBJ
mission to the will of the Supreme
Master, we pause in our business and
honor her memory by closing all busi-
ness places between the hour of 8 a. m.
and 10 a. m, Tuesday, March 10, 1903.
Her death will be keenly felt by
friends who had learned to esteem her
for her many sterling qualities. And be
it further,
Resolved That this memorial be
spread on the minutes and the secre-
tary be instructed to transmit a copy to
her parents and husband.
