home in Blue Hill township on Thurs
day, January II, at 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon, following an illness of but
one. week. Since the death of her
son-in-law, John Brennan, whom
she held in the highest esteem, she
had, however, gradually failed in
health and was ultimately compelled
to take to her bed. She was one of the
pioneer settlers in this part of the
country and had lived in Blue Hill
forty years.
Ats Edwards Catholic church in
Princeton on Monday morning last
Rev. Father Levings conducted the
funeral solemnities, which we're
largely attended by relatives, friends
and neighbors despite the dis
agreeable weather which prevailed.
A very impressive sermon was
preached by Rev. Levings and Mrs.
G. A. Galley, accompanied by Mrs. T.
J. Kaliher as organist, rendered in
spring vocal solos. The interment
was in the Princeton Catholic GENE
terry and the casket was literally
covered with beautiful floral offerings.
Mrs. John Carmody, whose maiden
name was Hannah Looney, was born
in County Kerry, Ireland, in 1884,
and was married in that country.
With her husband and children she
came to the United States in 1868 and
settled at Itasca, Anoka county,
MIMI, moving from that place to a
farm 10 Blue Hill three years later.
There Mrs. Carmody lived until called
to the realms above. She is survived
by her husband, who is now 90 years
of age, and six children, viz, Mrs.
John Brennan, Princeton; Mrs. Bat
Haley, Bemidji; Mrs. M. Guyette,
Minneapolis; John Carmody, Oregon;
Oar. and William Carmody, Blue
Hill She also leaves IL grandchil-
dreE| 'aad three great grandchildren.
The late Thomas Looney was a
brother of Mrs. Carmody.
"Aunt Hannah, " as Mrs. Carmody
was affectionately known to her init
mate friends, was woman possessed
of kind, generous disposition-she
was ever ready to assist her neighbors
in time of sickness or sorrow, and she
was an affeetionate wife and mother.
Long will her old-time friends cherish
and revere her memory.
Those from distance present at
the funeral we're Mr.. and Mrs. :. B.
Haley, Bemidji; Mrs. M. Guyette and
Joseph Cos, Minneapolis; and Mrs.
Michael Carmody and daughter, Mrs.
Theo. Porwoll, St. Cloud.
Bonding Company Pays Bren's Shortage
A check for S14, 80. 70, in settlement
of the liability of the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty company on
the bond of J. D. Bren, former acting
and defaulting treasurer of the state
university, was last Saturday paid to
John Lind, president of the board of
regents.
"The amount paid" said Mr.. Lind,
sis about 5000 less than the total of
claims against 8ren, but those we're
items from which the board would
have relieved Bren if there had been
no trouble. They represent funds for
various student activities, such as a
fund raised for an organ, and Gopher
funds. The settlement was made on
the advice of the public examiner and
the county attorney that it was better
to take what we got than jeopardize
the whole amount by suit" Hence,
Bren will escape prosecution for the
money he unlawfully appropriated to
his own use. Is it right that this de-
faulter should be permitted to escape
so easily?
