GEORGE MORGAN O'BRIEN DEAD
Mr. George Morgan O'Brien, junior partner of the firm of O'Brien & O'Brien, lawyers, died at Philadelphia, Pa., Sunday, where he went for special medical treatment. Mr. O'Brien was well known in Omaha, being a son of General G. M. O'Brien. He started out as a telegraph operator, and it was while he was operating in Ogden that he took a fancy to study law. He was admitted to the bar at Seattle in 1886 and shortly after removed to Omaha. On account of illness he went south about five years ago, but gradually grew worse, and after much suffering succumbed to the effects of la grippe at the Quaker City. The deceased was 40 years of age. The remains will arrive at Omaha Wednesday morning in charge of Mrs. O'Brien, his mother, a sister and a brother, N. J. O'Brien.
