MRS. P.H. (MAGGIE) OLIVER
MAY 20, 1887
Died -- Friday morning, May 13, 1887, at her home south of town, Mrs. P.H. Oliver, nee Maggie McCune, aged 32 years. Deceased was born near Mendota, Ill. and when but a girl came to the county, where she has since resided. September 8, 1880, she was married to Mr. Patrick H. Oliver, who with two little children, a boy aged five years and girl aged three years, still survive her. When quite young Mrs. Oliver had a fall, injuring one of her legs and from which she never recovered, it having cause her early death. A short time before her death the limb began troubling her more than usual and continued to grow worse in spite of all that medical aid could do. The injured member had shortened so, that she was always more or less a cripple, but was so patient and uncomplaining that her suffering was probably never fully realized even by those nearest to her. As stated last week, an operation was made by Drs. Vaughn, of this city, and Salisbury, of Strawn, but it was found to be too late; the end was too near, and she breathed her last surrounded by loving relatives and friends.
The funeral services were held from St. Patrick's church in this city last Sunday morning, Rev. Wm. V.D. Hagen officiating, and a large number of friends followed the remains to their last resting place in St. Patricks cemetery. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community in their sorrow, but have the consolation that she is now out of her suffering.
