Well Known Farmer Passes Away Today after Short Illness.
At the home of his sister at 703 Fourth Avenue North this afternoon at 2:30, James Mooney answered the final summons as the result of an abcess (sic) on the brain. His death was practically unexpected as it was but last Monday that he was able to walk around out of door.
Mr. Mooney had been ill the greater part of the winter. He came in from the Larrabee farm where he lived and went to the Fort Dodge hospital where he was operated on in hopes of securing relief. Later on it was found necessary to perform another operation and this time it was thought his chances of recovery were certain. His family was encouraged in this hope by his ability to get around, but his death today was a severe shock to their hopes and expectations.
Mr. Mooney was the tenant on the Chas. Larrabee farm south of the city and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was the father of nine children who with his good wife are in deep sorrow over their loss. Mr. Larrabee feels deeply the loss of his tenant as he had come to place large dependence and responsibility upon him and always regarded him as a valuable employee. Announcement of the funeral arrangements will be made tomorrow.
