Obituary:
"Death of Mrs. Connor" On Tuesday, the 15th inst., Mrs. Anna Colfour, wife of James Connor, died at her home, corner of Lake street and Ridge avenue, aged 63 years. Some weeks since she visited her daughter in Chicago and while there was prostrated with an attack of typhoid pneumonia. Recovering sufficiently to return to Evanston, as it was supposed, she was again taken ill and the former disease was followed by aneurysm of the artery of the left limb, and the attending physician found it necessary to amputate that member. The operation was performed, but with the previous sickness and the shock of the amputation, she died within half an hour.
Mrs. Connor was born in County Wexford, Ireland in 1821. She married in 1842, and came to this country and settled in Evanston, whence her husband had preceded her two years before, and where they have lived every since. Five children, survive this mother, three of whom, James C., Thomas and John are well known here.
The funeral services took place Thursday morning from St. Mary's Church. The Rev. Father Donahue officiated, and requiem high mass was celebrated. The interment took place later at Calvary Cemetery. The husband and children have the sympathy of many warm friends in this village. Evanston Index, April 19, 1884, page 2.
