SHELBY RECORD OBITUARY – 01/30/1901
Mrs. Maggie Dubourg Hickey, wife of Mr. J.P. Hickey, died Sunday morning [January 27, 1901] at 8 o’clock at St. Joseph’s Infirmary, Louisville. She was ill two weeks and last Wednesday was taken to the Infirmary, where an operation was performed Saturday. For a few hours all went well, but the shock to the system was too great, and that night she sank rapidly. Conscious to the last, she apparently recognized, but was unable to speak to her parents, who arrived about twenty minutes before death threw his dark mantle over her. Mrs. Hickey was about twenty-three years of age, and had been married a little over two years. She was a devout member of the Catholic Church and had many friends, who offer their deepest sympathy to her husband and loved ones in their bereavement. The funeral services, conducted by Father Fitzgerald, took place yesterday morning at 10 o’clock at the Catholic Church, a large number of friends being present. Interment in Grove Hill Cemetery. Mr. & Mrs. Hickey had charge of the grocery store connected with Mr. M.L. Dubourg’s greenhouse.

MRS. JAMES P. HICKEY, A BELOVED YOUNG WOMAN PASSES TO HER ETERNAL REWARD
One of the saddest deaths we have ever been called upon to chronicle occurred at St. Joseph’s Infirmary, in Louisville, last Sunday morning [January 27, 1901] at 7:50 o’clock, when Mrs. Marguerite Matilda Dubourg Hickey, beloved wife of Mr. James P. Hickey and daughter of Mr. & Mrs. M.L. Dubourg yielded up her lovely spirit to her Maker and went to dwell in His mansions above. While few in years, many were her virtues, and though frail in body, she was strong in those beautiful attributes that made her the object of the love and esteem of all with whom she came in contact. Her beautiful life will stand as worthy of the highest emulation and her memory will be lovingly cherished long after her poor mortal frame is gathered to the bosom of Mother Earth. Mrs. Hickey was, at the time of her death, aged twenty-three years and four months. She was married to Mr. James P. Hickey on December 27, 1898, just a little over two years ago. While her constitution was never robust, she rarely complained and always appeared cheerful and ready to offer consolation to others. On January 14 last, after ailing for about three weeks, she was forced to take to her bed, and as her condition grew gradually worse, a Louisville specialist was called in consultation. He advised that an operation was necessary and she was removed to St. Joseph’s Infirmary in Louisville on Wednesday of last week. Dr. Lewis Frank, of Louisville, performed the operation last Saturday morning and at the time it was believed that it was eminently successful, and that she would speedily rally and soon be restored to health. But, alas owing to her weakened vitality she was unable to withstand the shock, and when the reaction came she collapsed and rapidly declined until death relieved her the following (Sunday) morning shortly before eight o’clock. Her father and mother, brother and sisters were hastily summoned to her bedside and fortunately reached there before the end came. Her devoted young husband was with her constantly during her last illness and lovingly administered to her every want. Mrs. Hickey had such a sweet and lovely disposition that naturally resulted in a legion of friends being attracted to her and their sincere grief over her untimely taking-off cannot be measured in mere words. She was the acknowledged favorite of the household, and her grief-stricken parents, heart-broken young husband and affectionate brother and sisters have the boundless sympathy of the entire community in their sore bereavement occasioned by their loved one being so ruthlessly snatched from their midst. She was a devoted member of the Catholic Church and zealously careful in the performance of all her church duties. She was one of the leading members of the church choir, and her sweet voice, though now hushed here below, is added to the Angelic Choir now chanting sweet anthems before the Throne of God, Whom she so delighted to serve. Her remains were brought here Sunday night encased in a handsome embossed pink velvet casket. From that time until her burial, the residence was thronged with her many friends who called to view her remains and offer their sincere condolence to those so sorely bereaved. The funeral services were conducted at the Catholic Church Tuesday morning at ten o’clock by Rev. Father J.J. Fitzgerald, the pastor, in the presence of a concourse of people that completely filled the sacred edifice from chancel to vestibule, attesting in a feeble way the love and esteem in which she was held. During the service, several appropriate selections were rendered by the choir, to which had been added several volunteers. Her remains were laid to rest in the family lot in Grove Hill Cemetery, after brief services at the grave. A profusion of beautiful flowers was in evidence at the last sad rites numbering many handsome and costly floral designs that completely banked the new made mound.

YOUNG LIFE ENDED – MARGARET DUBOURG HICKEY PASSES TO A BRIGHTER WORLD
We learn with sincere regret of the death of Mrs. Margaret Dubourg Hickey, which occurred at the residence of her father, who is the leading florist of Shelbyville, KY. Besides her husband, James Hickey, she leaves a brother and sister to mourn her sad death. The youngest child, she was the life and light of a happy household now cast in gloom. Her sweet disposition was one to be envied, and made her loved as she was by all who knew her. Possessed of a kind and cheery word for all in distress, charitable to all in want and ever ready to assist the poor, she will be sadly missed by many who looked upon her as their benefactress. Though young in years but strong in faith, in the full possessions of all her powers and faculties, without fear or murmur, she left the world in which she performed innumerable good deeds to take up a new life in a better land, and Rev. Father Fitzgerald and the Catholic church of Shelbyville mourn the loss of the faithful and devout member. She was buried from the church with a requiem high Mass, the pastor’s eloquent funeral sermon touching the hearts of all. In the crowded church, after which the remains were laid to rest amid a bed of beautiful flowers until God calls for the resurrection. To the heart-broken husband, brother and sister and the bereaved father, whose hopes were centered in his dear child, we extend our sympathy and beg God to heal their wounded hearts.
