Dennis A. Kaliher passed away at
his home in this village at2 O'Clock
on Friday afternoon, December Is,
following a period Of sickness which
begun last March. A little over
month ago Mr.. Kaliher was taken
worse and decided to go to Asbury
hospital, Minneapolis. where he i'm
derwent an operation. The operation
relieved him of pain but the sur
geons who performed it said that he
would not long survive. He re-
manned at the hospital for three
weeks and was then brought to his
/ home in Princeton. Twelve days
after his return he succumbed. The
cause of death was cancer of the
stomach. E>
The funeral was held from ST.
Edwards Catholic church, of which
Mr.. Kaliher was member, last
Monday morning, the services being
conducted by the pastor, Rev. Joseph
Willenbrink, who paid high tribute
to the memory Of the decedent. The
pallbearers were Ray, Arthur, Verne
and George Kaliher, and William and
Joseph Dugan,' all nephews of the
deceased. A large number of rela-
tives and friends attended the solem-
mites and followed all that was
mortal of this worthy citizen to the
grave at Oak Knoll. i
Dennis a. Kaliher was born at
Dunkirk, n. Y, on August 49, 1852,
and, with his parents, moved to
Minnesota in 1858, settling in Anoka
county. After a residence of four
years there the family moved onto
la farm in. Blue Hill, Sherburne
county. There he lived until July
l., 1873, when he was married to Miss
Jennie Larkin, and took up his
residence on a farm which he pur-
chased in Livonia. He continued to
Hive on that farm until 1900, when he
came to Princeton and remained UNI
til his death. His wife died in 1905.
He is survived by eight children,
viz. Eugene w., Little Falls;
Thomas j., Princeton; Martin j.,
California; Lawrence and Herbert,
Bemidji; Mrs. X. Thomas, Foley !;
Kathryn, Princeton; and Earl,
fierz: all of whom attended the
funeral with the exception of Mar
tin. He also leaves three brothers
and two sisters and William,
Princeton; Michael, Blue Hill; Mrs.
Nora Dugan, Baldwin; and Mrs.
Agnes Buck, Greenbush. ~ z
Among those who attended the
obsequies from out of town were Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Dziuk, Duelm; Mr..
and Mrs. John Donovan, Foley; and
Norris Thomas and sister, Foley.
Dennis Kaliher was man who, by
hard work and thrift, had accumu-.
lated sufficient of the worlds goods
to be independent in his declining
years. However, he was not man
| who idled away his time-he was
usually engaged in some occupation
or other. Until within a few months
of his death he was in vigorous
health and he was always ambitious.
Then, again, he was man of socia-
bility always jolly and ready to tell
story or crack joke. He was the
embodiment of good nature and
everyone was his friend. In the
death of Dennis Kaliher his children
lose a kind, indulgent father and the
village of Princeton most worthy
citizen. The Union is sorry, indeed,
that God should have seen fit to re-
move this genial spirit from among
those who loved him.
The life of our departed friend
most admirably reflects the standard
set by the poet when he said:
$50 live. that when thy summons comes to ioin
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not like the quarry slave at night,
Scoutged to his dungeon; but, sustained and
Soothed ~EI-@s.5
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
