Martin O'Toole Passes Away, at His Home in This Place After an Illness of More Than Five Years
FUNERAL ON THURSDAY MORNING.
Martin O'Toole, son of John and Mary O'Toole, was born in Clifton County, Galaway, Ireland. At the age of twenty-one he went to Sunderland County, Durham, Ireland, where one year later he was married to Miss Mary Kelly. After living there until the year 1865 he came to America and settled in Janesville, Waseca County, where he remained until his death which occurred Tuesday morning at 3:20, August 30, at the age of sixty-nine years. He spent thirty years of his life in railroad work for the C. & N. W. Company, after that time he retired. Twelve children were born to this union, four of whom have already died. Those living are John, Martin J., Edward J., William C., Mrs. J. D. Larkin, Mrs. C. McMillan, Mrs. E. J. Walters and Mary V., who is still at home.
The funeral was conducted from St. Ann's Catholic Church, Thursday morning, Rev. Father Fox officiating.
Among those from out of town to attend the funeral were, Mrs. Kelly, E. J. Kelly, Mrs. P. Chase, Mrs. T. J. Hogan, Anna Kelly, Mrs. P. Pardee, Mrs. Rierdon, Walter Magner of Minneapolis; and Mr. and Mrs. C. Magner of St. Paul; Mr. Harvey Roof and Mr. Pat Tighe of Mankato; Mr. and Mrs. Pat Manley of St. Peter; Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hayden, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lang, Messrs. Jim Hayden, Frank Conners, Mike McDonough, of Waseca.
As noted in these columns last week, Mr. O'Toole had long been an invalid. Some years ago he was stricken with paralysis and since that time he has been unable to help himself or to care for himself except to a very limited extent. Under such trying circumstances the test of character is shown. Mr. O'Toole bore his affliction with fortitude and resignation. His faithful wife and children cared for him and administered to his wants as the necessity existed. He was a devote adherent of the Catholic Church and received the ministrations of that faith in his last hours.
In his life, Mr. O'Toole had occupied many positions where his abilities came into play and where uprightness of character and honesty of purpose were manifested. His integrity and honesty were known of all men with whom he came in contact. His reputation was founded upon perfect honesty and genuine sincerity. In his sickness and death the community looses a good citizen, his acquaintances a genial friend, his family a kind and loving father.
A very large concourse of people attended the funeral, attesting the respect in which he deceased was held. The remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery.
A good man has gone and one who is genuinely mourned. The family has the sympathy of many friends in their affliction.
