Death of Mrs. Wm Hahesy
Mrs. William Hahesy, who had been very ill for a long time, passed away at the home of her son James, southwest of town, early last Thursday morning and the funeral services were held from the Monti Catholic church Saturday at nine o'clock, Rev. Father Hanley officiating.
Bridget Houlahan was born in County Waterford, Ireland, in the year 1824. About fifty seven years ago, she was united in marriage with William Hahesy and in 1864 these young people came to America, and settled in Adams township, this county. Here Mr. Hahesy died about thirty six years ago. To Mr. and Mrs. Hahesy seven children were born, their first son dying in infancy and another, Michael having passed away but a few weeks ago. There remain five sons to mourn a mother's loss; Edward, who lives near Walker, Thomas, of East St. Louis, John of Vezila, California, Patrick and James of this city.
Mrs. Hahesy lived to see her sons and her sons' children grow up into men and women respected and beloved by communities of friends and much of their success and many of those qualities so admired and esteemed in them must necessarily be ascribed to the teachings and solicitude of this mother who has passed to her reward. Requiescat in pace.
