BRIDGET COMER WALSH
In the death of Mrs. Felix Walsh who died at her home on the East Side last Saturday afternoon, there passed away another of the city’s pioneer settlers.
The deceased, whose maiden name was Bridget Comer, was born in Strade, County Mayo, Ireland in 1833, coming to America when a young girl and spending the first few years in Canada. In 1852 she came to this county and settled at Manitowoc Rapids, where she was married to Felix Walsh who brought her here as his bride and this city has been her home ever since. Her husband died in 1891.
She was the mother of ten children, seven of whom survive her. She was unselfish and devoted to her family and each of them received the best education the city afforded and nearly all other children received higher education, fitting them for professional careers in which they have won honor and distinction, among them being the prominent attorneys, Thomas J. Walsh, of Helena, Montana, and John Walsh, of Washburn, Wis.
Mrs. Walsh was a woman of exceptional strength of character and kindly disposition, she was loved and esteemed by her friends and neighbors. She was a Christian woman and was deeply devoted to her religion. For many years she and her husband were recognized as foremost citizens and their memory will remain in the hearts of those who knew them for years to come.
Mrs. Walsh was a cousin of Michael Davitt, the famous Irish Patriot and Irish Member of English Parliament, whose name appears in English history of recent years.
The funeral took place from St. Luke’s church Tuesday morning and was largely attended. Nearly all of the children were present at the funeral.—Two Rivers Chronicle
