Died, on May 15, 1907, at 1:30 am, Mrs. James Aid, at her home two- and one-half miles east of the city. Her husband preceded her to the grave in March 1905.
Mrs. James Aid was born in the County Westmeath, Ireland, Jan. 8, 1838. Her maiden name was Mary McCormick. When six years of age she came to America with her parents to Boston, Mass., later coming to Wisconsin where she resided until her death.
In May 1857 she was united in marriage to Mr. James Aid. To this union nine sons were born, all having grown to manhood, and were present during her sickness and at the time of her death. All that loving hands could do was done to stay the messenger of death but all in vain. She seemed anxious to meet her partner, for so many years in this life and death came to her peacefully. Though her death was not unexpected, it has cast a gloom upon her children and upon the community where she lived. Wednesday and Thursday hundreds of sorrowing friends viewed the remains at her late home.
The funeral took place on Friday morning at 10 o'clock from St. Paul's Catholic Church, with interment in St. Paul's Catholic Cemetery and was one of the largest funerals ever held in this community.
Rev. Father Aid, son of the deceased was celebrant of the Mass. Rev. Father McCormick of Burlington, Iowa, brother of the deceased, Deacon, Rev. Father Barry of Hollandale, Wis., cousin of the deceased, Subdeacon, Father O'Reilly of Ridgeway, Wis., Master of Ceremonies. Father O''Kieffe, pastor, preached the sermon, in which he paid a high tribute to the deceased, speaking of her great charity and piety. Father Aid pronounced the absolution.
The active pallbearers were her eight sons, namely: Perry of Shullsburg, John of Highland, Edward of Mineral Point, Thomas of Dodgeville, James of Mineral Point, William of Dodgeville, Joseph of Mineral Point and Francis of Mineral Point.
The honorary pallbearers were Henderson Rain, Frank Cocking, John R. Toay, John Laverty, Dave Walsh, and John Sullivan. The floral offerings were many and beautiful.
