The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1913-12-10

Saturday evening the Review closed
the largest and most successful news
paper contest ever conducted by a
newspaper in western Iowa. The
prlzes which were awarded were so
valuable that it created interest in
every section of the county, and ev-
eryone was anxious to help their fav-
orite contestant to win one of the
eight valuable prizes. In the neigh
borhood of $1,000 in prizes have been
distributed to the winners in the Re-
views circulation contest, and it is
the opinion of most everybody that
it was one of the greatest contests
that has ever been held in Crawford
county.
At 1880 the judges were on hand at
the Review Office and as the clock was
striking they announced that all vot-
ing must cease and the ballot box was
taken to the Crawford County State
bank, where the three judges, George
McHenry. C. l.. Voss and M. E. Jones,
counted the ballots and coupons. Be-
sides the judges the editor of the Re-

The spirit of P. E. G. Lally has re-
turned to God who gave it; his soul
has gone to it's reward. Death came
to his relief on Tuesday afternoon at
five minutes after o'clock. When the
end came he passed away as quietly
as the rays of the sun which stole
through the window and played upon
the floor about his bed.
He died as he would have wished to
die, with his beloved wife and chill
dren, his pastor and few of his
near friends at his bedside. All
the children were home except
Adds, who at the time was
speeding his way across the coun-
try from Spokane, Wash, with the
hope of arriving before his fathers
departures; but as he did not reach
here until this "wednesday morning,
he was too late to see his father alive.
Mr.. Lally's death was not unexpect-
ed, considering the gravity of his all
ment and the progress the disease
had made for several months upon his
vitality. Prior to February last Mr..
Lally was regarded by his family and
his acquaintances and friends as a
man in the best Of health and destined
to live to good old age, when sud
denly, without any warning, it was dis
covered that he was the victim of a
cancer; but with his splendid consti-
tuition it was thought his disease might
yield to medical skill. Soon after it
was discovered an operation was per-
formed and the most flattering hopes
were entertained that it would result

May it was generally believed by his
friends and by himself, that his cure
was permanent; he resumed his work
in the law office with the same enthus-
iasm which always characterized his
work in his chosen profession and for
two months or more he was able tC
perform the full share of the work
which fell to his lot. Early in August
he went to Okoboji, Iowa, to spend a
we'll earned and much needed vaca-
tion with his family who had preceded
him; but soon after arriving there he
was attacked with chills which were
followed by fever; this occurred al
most daily for time and caused him
to return to his home in Denison,
thinking that the surroundings at the
lake were the cause of the unpleasant
experience. On his return home he
sought to resume his duties in the Of
flee, but found himself unequal to the
task and each day he came to the
Office he stayed a shorter time than
the day before until finally he found

to stand until the disease, which had
recurred. had progressed so far that
he was compelled to take to his bed,
where for the last eight or nine weeks
he was confined.
All that willing hands, prompted by
loving hearts could do, was done to
make his life as pleasant as possible
during his protracted illness. His de-
voted wife and children gave their
time and attention to caring for him,

devotion of his family could have re-
lieved him from pain or saved him
from the call of the messenger of
death he would have been restored to
health and left with his loved ones.
Dr.. Frank Lally gave up his medical
work and returned home to take care
of his father through his fatal illness.
Day and night and every hour OF the
day he cheerfully responded to the
call of duty and both he and Mrs.
Lally, as well as DR.. Brannon and the
other members of his family, have
been instant in season and out OF

serious condition of the husband and
father
During the long illness Of Mr.. Lally
and the intense suffering through
which he passed, he never complained.
but patiently and quietly endured it
all; even when he knew he had but a
short time to live he displayed such
perfect resignation and courage that
everyone knew that all was we'll with
him and that death had no terrors for
him. He talked of death with the COM
posure of one about to take a journey
and repeatedly stated that he was
prepared for it: and by preparation
he meant that he was at peace with
his Savior.
The close and intimate relations in
business of the writer to Mr.. Lally for
several years enables him to speak
with some confidence of his charac-
teristics as a man, a citizen, neigh
Dor and lawyer; and it is not in any
sense an exaggeration to state that as
a man he. was devoted to his religion,
his family, and just in all his relations
and dealings with his fellow men. He
was man of high ideals and chris
tian gentleman as citizen he stood
for good order, sobriety and upright
ness of conduct; he was enterprising
and ever ready to aid in the improve
ment of the community; as neigh
Dor he was kind, sympathetic and
helpful to those who were in need; as
a lawyer he was ambitious and untir-
ing in his efforts to attain success, but
always fair and honest in all his deal
ings.
Patrick E. C. Lally was the son OF
Peter and Nancy Corcoran Lally, and
was born June 8, 1856, in the County
of Mayo, Ireland. Mr. Lally spent his
youthful days, until he was eighteen
years of age. upon his fathers farm,
the place of his birth, and during that
time attended the country schools in
the requirement of an education. In
1874 he came to the United States,
and for short time lived in Chicago
and then moved to DeKalb county
Illinois, where he engaged in farm
work and teaching school. In 1877 he
came to Iowa and settled in Greene
county. where he was employed at
farm labor, school teaching and work
ing on the railroad. 1t was here he
studied law under the tutorage of Hon.

in their work of counting the votes.
In order that there might be no mis-

contest. When the judges opened the

to see the thousands Of ballots and

no small task to make the count of
votes, and it was not until after 10

JOHN STORJOHAN SUICIDES
We'll Known Germ an Carnenter and
Farmer Commits Suicide by
Hanging Last Week.

John Storjchan, farmer residing
about three mics northwest of town
on the ridge road, was found dead in
the barn on his farm Thursday eve
ming about 6 o'clock, being suspended
from rafter by rope. The body
was found by son OF Mr.. Herman
Hass. who resides only short dis
tance from the Storjohan home. Mr..
Hass had noticed that the barn on
the Storjohan place had not been op-
ened for day or two, which was un-
usual and asked his sons to go over
and Investigate. After an eXamina-
ton they found the body of Mr.. Stor-
johan as above stated.
Upon discovery & the body the
proper authorities Of Denison were
notified and the authorities, together
with local undertaken, went out to
the body and brought it to Denison.
Mr.. Storjohan had been in Denison
Saturday and seemed to be in his u.s.
ral good health. While in the city he
called on q number of his friends and
not once was the intimation made that
things were not running as smoothly
as they might. During the past few
weeks domestic affairs had been
troubling him to some extent and it
is thought that brooding over his
troubles caused him to lose his mind
to some extent and bring about his
suicide.
The deceased was about 40 years of
age and was born in Germany. When
a young man he moved with his par
ents to America and for number OF
years has been resident of this coun-
ty. Last spring he was united in mar
riage to Mrs Jennie Ahart Mckane,
who survives him. Besides his wife
he leaves one brother, Charles, we'll

ity.
Funeral services were held Friday
afternoon from the SalomOn under

being made in Oakland cemetery.
