Danbury (Iowa) Review: As was mentioned in these columns in our last issue, Mrs. W. J. Skahill, wife of W. J. Skahill, living two miles north of Danbury, passed to her reward last Tuesday evening, July 21, and the funeral was held on Friday morning from St. Patrick’s church, Solemn Requim High Mass being sung for the repose of the soul.
Mary A. McNiff was born near Battle Creek on August 24, 1881 and would have reached her 41st year, had she lived until the 24th of this month. She resided on the farm on which she was born until 9 years of age when she with her parents moved to the farm north of Danbury. She received her education in St. Patrick’s Academy and later taught in the country schools of this vicinity. She was united in marriage to W. J. Skahill on June 14, 1905, at St. Patrick’s church in this city and after the wedding the newly wed couple went to Cascade to make their home, living there until the year 1920 when they returned to this place and made their residence on the farm north of town. Three children were born to them: Gerald, aged 8, Alfred, 7, and Merlin 4, all of who are living and are left with the kind and loving husband, the lady’s mother and brother, to mourn her untimely death. She is also mourned by her aged mother and one brother, James McNiff of Orkinton, Minn.
Mrs. Skahill had been ailing for nearly a year and a half past but had been able to be up and around until just a week before her demise when she was compelled to go back to bed, and even___get up out of bed, and for a short time ___. She suffered from an attack of diabetes and did not have any idea that her time had come as she was planning with friends the night before she passed away about a new home that she and her husband were intending to build. She was a loving mother, an excellent helpmate, and was never satisfied unless she was doing something for someone else. Even though she was not feeling the best she always bore her suffering in solitude and when she passed away as peacefully as though she were going to sleep.
Funeral services were conducted at St. Patrick’s church Friday morning and were conducted by the Rev. T. Maher.
Out of town relatives and friends in attendance were: Rev. B. H. Skahill of Columbia College, Dubuque; John Kenny of Dubuque, J. B. Skahill, Mr. Kenny and Jas. Skahill, all of Cascade; Mrs. Thos. Evers of Delhi, Frank Skahill of Peosta, Jake Doud and wife of Oyens, Mrs. Francis Devaney of Kingsley, Mrs. Mary Connars of Emerson, Neb.
