FRANKIE DANCY
JANUARY 22, 1886
Frankie Dancy died at the home of M. Currigan, her brother-in-law, at 2:20 p. m. Tuesday; aged 17 years. This young lady had been ill for several weeks. At times she would seem to respond to medical treatment, and at one time hopes were entertained of her ultimate recovery, but a relapse soon destroyed the last hope, and at the time stated above she slept peacefully away. Miss Frankie was born in the village of Chatsworth and had spent most of her life here. She went to Pullman with Mrs Crane, and when Mrs. C. removed to Florida Frankie accompanied her, and was employed by Mrs. Crane during her stay in the south. She returned north last summer. During her long illness all that good care and attention could do was done for her comfort, but that grim destroyer came, and she now sleeps by the side of her mother. The funeral was held from the Catholic church Thursday morning at 10 o’clock, the Rev. VVm. v. d. Hagen celebrated high mass and preached an most eloquent and appropriate discourse. A beautiful but solemn feature of the ceremony was noticeable. The following young ladies, clad in the habiliments of mourning (black and white), acted as pall-bearers: Misses Hattie Linehan, Nora Liston, Viola McCrystle, Susie McDonald, Maggie Thornton, and Maggie Brosnahan.
