The funeral sighs of death are again whispered in memory of a departed friend. How swiftly the sands of life are running and how forcibly are we reminded that the cradle and the coffin stand side by side. The last summons of the swift winged messenger of death was borne over our little village at 4:20 o'clock on Saturday August 21, 1915, when it called from us all our dear friend Edward Raymond Driscoll, who had been in poor health for several months.
Logan, as he was familiarly called, bore his sickness very patiently and toward the last seemed to realize his condition and was fully prepared and perfectly willing to abide by the will of the Lord. He was a good noble man and had friends by the score. He lived a good true life, was a loving son, a true and faithful husband, a kind father and a good friend.
Mr. Driscoll was born in the village of New Diggings, Wis., Feb. 18, 1873, and had lived there all his life. In 1898 he was married to Miss Libbie Robbins of this village. Two children were born to this happy union Raymond and Loretta, the daughter having died over a year ago. He is survived by his loving wife, his son Raymond, his father and mother, three brothers, James and Dennis of Butte City, Charles of New Diggings, and two sisters Mrs. Annie O'Neill of Seymour and Mrs. Mary Murphy of this village.
Funeral services were held at ten o'clock Monday morning Aug. 23rd at the Catholic church, Benton, of which he was a devout member. Rev. J.C. Bergen officiated with High Requiem Mass and burial was made in the Catholic cemetery beside his daughter.
