Mrs. Stack's maiden name was Winnifred O'Connor, a native of Ireland, but came to this country when but 9 years old. She was married to Mr stack in '55 and they had resided her twenty-eight years. In February '99 Mr Stack died and since that time she, like many old people when bereft of their life's companion was at unrest. She and her daughter went to Chicago and she was satisfied there but a short time and went to Harvard, Neb to vivit her son James. Later she visited a sister in Galesburg and then returned to Chicago. She was not content in the city away from her old neighbors and friends, although a daughter and two sons resided with her. Two months ago she went to Peoria and at the home of her daughter was taken ill.
The remains were brought to this city Sunday evening and conveyed to the old homestead and on Monday at St Mary's church the final service was said. Good music was furnished by the Chenoa choir and the address by Fr. Quinlan was on of the best he ever delivered on such an occasion.
All the children were present at the funeral and a large gathering of old friends and neighbors. Besides her children she leaves three sisters; one in Galesburg, one in Peoria and the other in Pennsylvania. She was about 62 years of age.
Mrs Stack was a good neighbor, devoted to her church and to her family, and the sympathy of many friends is extended to the bereaved children.
