Notes From Maple Grove:
On Saturday at the home of her son, Patrick Cahill, Mrs. Cahill, one of the
first settlers in the vicinity of Grimms, was called to eternal rest, at the
advanced age of 83 years. Deceased was a kind and generous woman and had a
wide circle of friends. She is survived by two daughters and two sons, Mrs.
Pete Murphy of Cato and Pat Cahill of Franklin being two of her children. The
other daughter is Mrs. Markey of Seattle, Washington, and James resides at
Ogden, Utah. The funeral was held Monday from Maple Grove church and was
largely attended. Rev. G. J. O’Connell performed the last sad rites. Interment
was in Maple Grove cemetery.

OBITUARY.
Last Friday evening, April 10, Mrs. Mary Cahill, one of the pioneer settlers of
Grimms, was called away to the land of eternal joy and happiness. Death was due
to a gradual wearing out of life’s energy, she having reached the advanced age
of 82. The decedent was born in Ireland and came to America in 1845, first
settling in Manitowoc and later at this place. Although her husband was called
away in the early sixties she strove patiently to raise her family, never
complaining of hardship and toil but went about her daily task with cheerfulness.
Deceased was a good-natured woman always having a good word for everyone. She
knew no enemies but a host of friends. She was a true and devout Catholic, always
taking a deep interest in church affairs, and this Christian character was
manifested in her faithfulness durnig her life. She will long be remembered by
all who knew her. Four children survive her and sixteen grandchildren are Patrick
of this place, Mrs. P. J. Murphy of Cato, James of Ogden, Utah, and Mrs. H. W.
Markey of Seattle, Wash. Besides these she leaves a brother, Coster of Minneapolis,
Minn., and a sister, Mrs. Sarah Shannon of Milwaukee. The funeral, an unusually
large one, was held on Monday from St. Patrick’s church, Maple Grove. A solemn
Requiem Mass was sung by Rev. Fathers O’Connell, Ryan and Herb. Six of her
grandsons acted as pall bearers. She is now sleeping that long, peaceful sleep
that knows no waking in the cemetery at Maple Grove. May her soul rest in peace.
All is dark within our dwelling.
Lonely are our hearts today.
For grandma who we loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.
