A long useful life came to a close Sunday with the death of Richard O'Connor,
one of the city's pioneer settlers, his demise being due to infirmities incident
to his 83 years. Mr. O'Connor had been failing for some time and since the death
of his wife two years ago, his decline had been more noticeable and death was
not unexpected. A native of Ireland, Mr. O'Connor emigrated to America in the
50's and in 1856 came to Manitowoc county where for years he was employed as
foreman of the Sherman tannery and shoe shops. Mr. O'Connor retired from active
business pursuits only when advancing age forced him to do so and of late years
had lived in retirement. The death of his wife two years ago was a terrible shock
from which he never recovered. Mr. O'Connor is survived by four children, one son
Benjamin, who is a U.S. mail carrier and three daughters, Mrs. Henry Mulholland
and Misses Nellie and Isabel O'Connor. Mr. O'Connor was a man who had the respect
of his fellows and was beloved by his friends. The funeral will take place
Wednesday at 9 from Sacred Heart Catholic church.
