James Ferrell Dead
Passed Away at Manning Where He Had Gone for Medical Treatment—Funeral Held on Monday Morning
Deep sorrow settled upon this community, last Friday morning, when the word reached Jefferson that James Ferrell had died suddenly that morning, at Manning where he had gone for treatment. For two years Mr. Ferrell has been in poor health, and on several occasions has been very ill. Two years ago, he and his wife undertook a trip in their car to Milwaukee, Detroit and other cities. When he returned, he insisted that he was all tired out and would never undertake such a journey again. The effort and worry of trying to drive his car in the cities had been beyond his endurance. As he failed to rally as rapidly as his loved ones wished a physician was called in, and it was found that his heart was in bad condition. Last year, he went to St. Anthony's hospital at Carroll, where a cataract was removed from his eye. Throughout the greater portion of the winter, he was unable to look after his duties at the court house, so this spring he resigned as one of the custodians of the building. Thursday forenoon he took the train for Manning, where he expected to take electrical treatment. Early the next morning, Mrs. Ferrell received a telephone message, from the physician and specialist, that he had dropped dead that morning about 6 o'clock. When members of the family went to Manning, to bring the body home, they learned that he had gone to the bathroom where one of the nurses heard him fall and rushed to his aid. When she reached him he was breathing his last.
He had been a resident of Greene county for nearly half a century and had played an important part in the history of Bristol and Hardin townships where he had lived during the greater portion of the time. In these townships, he served as school director, township trustee and other civic positions. No matter where he lived, he made friends readily and took his place in public affairs.
James Ferrell, son of John and Ann Farrell was born November 8, 1850 at Highgate, Vermont. When a small boy he moved with his parents to Wisconsin. On July 10, 1868, at the age of 18, he was united in marriage with Margaret Goley at Ripon, Wisconsin. On the 4th of July, 1879 he with his wife and elder children, he landed in Greene county. Their first home was the William Seaman farm in Bristol township, where they lived for a number of years. He and his wife moved to Jefferson March 1, 1914. On Easter Sunday, March 31, 1918, the wife and mother was stricken while eating her noon day meal, being the first break in the family circle. On October 11, 1919, Mr. Ferrell married Mrs. Clara Bowman in Des Moines, and came to Jefferson to establish their home.
Mr. Ferrell joined the I. O. O. F. lodge at Farlin a number of years ago, and was a member of the Catholic church in this city for many years. When the county offices were moved into the new court house and it was found that the work would be too heavy for Wm. Ellis, the Board of Supervisors employed Mr. Ferrell as assistant custodian. To Mr. Ferrell fell the care of the heating plant and grounds. He did his work well, sparing no pains to keep the building comfortable in winter and the lawn and flowers in prime condition throughout the summer. Mr. Ferrell was the father of seven children, all of whom were present at the funeral Monday morning at 9:30 at St. Joseph's church. In addition to the seven children and his companion, he leaves nine grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. Sarah Timann, of Eureka, Wisconsin. The funeral was held Monday morning from St. Joseph's church with Father Murphy conducting the requiem mass, while Father Coleman, of Scranton, preached the sermon. The pall bearers were: Mike Condon, Patsey Cudahy, James Minnihan, Bob Clare, John Peipels and Louis Minnihan. Among the out of town relatives coming to Jefferson for the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. John McCue and children, of Blue Earth, Minn.; Mr. Fred Parsza and Mrs. Murphy and son of Blue Earth, Minn, and Mrs. Louis Phillips, of Emmetsburg.
