John Tierney, one of the most widly known men in Manchester and vicinity, passed away at his home on Franklin street, Saturday afternoon, after an illness that has extended over a period of about sixteen years. Although in poor health for so many years, most of the time Mr. Tierney was able to be about among his friends. While his family had noticed a decline during recent days, they were not prepared for the sudden summons. Funeral services were held at St. Mary's church, Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The services were conducted by Rev. Father T. Rooney. Interment was made in the family lot in the Catholic cemetery.
John Tierney, son of the late John Tierney, was born June 1, 1859, in Manchester, in the building recently removed to make room for Mr. Philipp's new store. When he was still a small boy his father's family moved to a farm in Milo Township, where he grew to young manhood. In 1882 he went west and located in the Black Hills, of South Dakota, to engage in mining. In that day the Black Hills were thinly settled and in reality he was a pioneer of that country. After some years of residence, Mr. Tierney went to Lead, South Dakota, where, on November 3rd, 1893, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary A. Hilton, who, with one son, Leo F. Tierney, and one daughter, Mrs, Dan Barnd, of this city survives him. Besides the wife and children he leaves two sisters, Mrs. J. C. Rooney, of this city and Sister Clara, of Sinsinnawa Mound; and two brothers, William Tierney and Frank Tierney of San Diego, California. The two sisters are spending their winter in California.
After many years of residence in Lead and Dead Wood, South Dakota, where he engaged in business and operated a large cattle ranch, the family took up their residence in Manchester about eight years ago. At that time Mr. Tierney purchased the building now occupied by M. G. Keckler, and opened an up-to-date cafe, which he conducted until obliged to give up the work on account of ill health.
Mr. Tierney was a big hearted man, and was singularly devoted to his family. He was kind and considerate in his judgement of others, and was never heard to speak ill of his fellowmen. He was one of the founders of St. Mary's church of this place, and the very close friendship which grew up then between Rev. Father Nugent and himself has continued all through the years. Only a few days before his death he received a letter from his old friend, Father Nugent. He was a member of the Catholic Order of the Forresters, the C. M. B. A., and the Elks of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Mr. Tierney was a pioneer of Manchester and Delaware County, and while he was not a resident of Manchester for many years, his interest in Manchester and its activities were always on his mind. When his father's family moved to the farm in Milo Township the county was thinly settled and the hardships and privations of those days were numerous and trying.
His death comes as a grievous blow to his wife, who cared for him during his periods of illness, with a devotion that was sublime, and in his passing the son and daughter mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent father.
