T Death has again been busy in our
midst, and this time Mr.. Thomas Kane
was the victim of the grim reaper. He
passed away Tuesday afternoon, Feb.
%, 1911, after a short illness, at his
home just south of Buck Grove. Thos.
Kane was born in County Clare, Ire
land, in 1881, and was eighty years
old at the time Of his death. In 1863
he was married to Miss Katherine
Keane, who died in 1862 Two chill
dren were born to this union, both sur
viving him. They are Mrs. Charles
Quade, of Denison, and Mrs. M. NJ
Gary, of Bridgewater, S. D. In 1874
Mr.. Kane was married to Miss Bridget
Costello and seven years afterward
came with his little family to Ameri-
ca and came direct to Crawford coun-
ty, where he settled near Denison. He
remained there one year and then
came to Buck Grove, where he has
lived continuously ever since, which is
nearly thirty years, making him one
of the Oldest settlers in this vicinity.
To this last union were born eight
children, five of whom still survive
him, and who with his faithful wife
are left to mourn good husband and
a loving father. Mr.. Kane was most
devout Catholic and lived life in con-
formity to his belief. He was faith
full friend and good neighbor and it
can truly be said that he made no
lily and lived only in them and for
their happiness. Those who are left
/ to mourn the loss of this good man
have the deep sympathy Of all. The
| funeral services were held Thursday
morning at st. Josephs church, Rev.
Father Lynch, officiating, after which
the burial took place in the new Cath
