KATHERINE KIRWAN

MRS. M. KIRWAN PASSES AWAY AT HOME TODAY
Wife of Judge Kirwan Summoned After Long Illness
Many friends will receive with sorrow the announcement of the death of Mrs.
Katherine Kirwan, wife of Judge Michael Kirwan, which occurred at the family
home on North Eighth street at an early hour this morning. Mrs. Kirwan had
been an invalid for several years and her demise was a release from sufferings
which had been borne with fortitude and patience.
Born in Canada
Mrs. Kirwan's maiden name was Katherine Nagel and she was born in Canada,
coming to Manitowoc county with her parents who were pioneer settlers of Meeme.
She resided at Meeme until her marriage to Kirwan, removing to this city where
during the past fifty five years they have made their home. The late John Nagel
for many years owner and editor of the Manitowoc Pilot, was a brother of Mrs.
Kirwan.
A woman of retiring disposition, Mrs. Kirwan's life was centered in her home
and family. She was a devoted wife and mother and was deservedly esteemed by
friends who knew her well.
Funeral Private
The funeral of Mrs. Kirwan will be private. Arrangements have not been completed,
awaiting word from members of the family who are not here.

*********
Mrs. Katherine Kirwan, wife of Judge Michael Kirwan, an old and highly esteemed
resident of Manitowoc, died Monday morning at her home, 718 North 8th Street.
She had been in poor health for several years.
Mrs. Kirwan's maiden name was Katherine Nagle and she was born in Canada, coming
to Manitowoc County with her parents, who were pioneer settlers of Meeme. She grew
up in Meeme and resided there until her marriage to Michael Kirwan when they
removed to this city where during the past fifty-five years they have made their
home. The late John Nagle, for many years owner and editor of the Manitowoc Pilot,
was a brother of Mrs. Kirwan.
The deceased is survived by her husband and five children, Mrs. Katherine Hogan,
Mrs. S. T. Pratt and Miss Emma Kirwan of this city, Dr. Ed Kirwan of Ludington,
Mich., and Attorney Charles Kirwan of Ladysmith, Wis.
Here was a fine old fashioned mother, who could hear no higher duty calling her
than to make her fireside an ideal home a place of peace and contentment; to perform
the day by day tasks that occupy the attention of a mother rearing a family and making
the home a shrine, the memory of which will linger with those reared in its atmosphere
and influence every moment of their future lives. Her life was laid and lived in strong
and simple lines with a deep and humble sense of obligation to home. Her husband and
children have lost in her a wife and mother whose life will be in them a pleasant
remembrance. The memory of her virtues will life and soften their grief. For a long
time preceding her death, she was precluded from social activities. Her acquaintance
was large, her friends were many and her lovable traits of character will not soon be
forgotten. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon from the home and was private. Rev.
M. S. Weber of the Presbyterian Church officiated. All of the children were here for
the funeral. Interment was in Evergreen Cemetery.
