Death of Mrs. John McCarthy
Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson (Marshall), widow of John McCarthy, was released from suffering about 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning when she peacefully sank to rest in the sleep of death. Since the latter part of July she had endured a most paintul illness for absecesses in the head affecting the inner ear and finally the mastoid process. Only at brief intervals did she know any respite from a distress that wore upon ber until at length only a slight chance of recovery remained in recourse to a mastoid operation. This was performed at the Springfield hospital. Thursday of the last week and, though she rallied, it was soon evident that life was ebbing away.
Mrs. McCarthy was born in St. John, New Bruswick, Jan. 5, 1855, a daughter of James and Margaret (Patchell) Marshall. She lived in her native town until some years after her marriage Dec 20, 1877, Mr. McCarthy being then and for a long time subsequently employed on a passenger boat which crossed the Bay of Fundy twice a week. As long as he was connected with the boat, the family had their home at St. John or at Annapolis on the other side of the bay. Fourteen years ago they removed to Springfield and here Mr. McCarthy's death occured Dec 21st last.
Six children were born to the deceased, of whom there survive a daughter, Elizabeth M., librarian of the Springfirled library, and two sons, George M. and Walter J. McCarthy, who have but recently returned from military service on the Mexican border as members of Company K. A son and daughter died in infancy and a thier daughter, Minnie Madeline, only ived to be 10 years old.
Mrs. McCarthy was a very lovable woman, sympathetically thoughtful for others and unfailing in words and deeds of neighborly kinness. A sunny disposition was hers and a humorous outlook which made her the center of a happy home circle and a cheering presence everywhere. Besides her children she left one brother, I. G. Marshall, of St. Johnsbury.
