Her maiden name was Ellen O'Brien
At the age of 7 years, she with her
parents, brothers and sisters came to
America and lived for short time in
New York City. From there the fam
lily moved to the town of Maple Grove.
In 1882 she was married to Thos Fen
Ion, who survives her. She was the

ter, Bridget, dying in 1881. The re-

sons, Thos and VIM. Watt, Peter Fal-

Sheahan and Tom Cavanaugh.
From the time of her marriage up
to seven years ago she lived on the
farm where she and her husband set
tied. Feeling the weight of years and
realizing that she and her husband
were no longer fitted to operate the
farm, they retired from active work
and moved to Reedsville, but later
purchased a home in the village of
Maple Grove, where she passed away.
| She was woman Of more than the
ordinary ability, kind and loving
mother, devoted wife, good neigh
Dor and a devout Christian. She came
from that sturdy Irish stock who in
the early days settled in the wilderness
and made homes for their children
amid the dangers and hardships of pi-
oneer life. But few years more and
few indeed of her type will be left to
relate their early day experiences.
May she rest in peace.
