UTICA HERALD-DISPATCH, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1920
MRS. MOSES F. MCCONNELL
Had Been An Invalid For a Number of Years

Mrs. Moses F. McConnell died at her home, 726 Eagle street at 10:15 Saturday morning. She had been an invalid for nearly 11 years but her condition had been serious only for a week. Margaret Jordan was born at Franktown, On., Canada, March 12, 1852, and was married 52 years ago at Franktown to Moses F. McConnell of Merrickville, Ont. She came to the United States 45 years ago and to Utica about 20 years ago, where she has since spent her life. She was a devoted member of St. Agnes's Church and a regular attendant when able. She was devoted to her family and though she has been an invalid for over a decade she has never complained and has patiently waited for the time when she would be called to that brighter home above where pain and sorrow would vanish.

Mrs. McConnell was the mother of a large family with eight daughters and three sons who survive her. They are: Mrs. M. S. White of Warsaw; Mrs. T. J. White of Portland Point, NY; Mrs. D. F. Smith of Cohoes; Mrs. J. B. Willet, Mrs. M. M. Welch, the Misses Alice, Loretta and Monica, William E. and J. Raymond of Utica and Ambrose of Camden. She also leaves four sisters, Mrs. Mary MacAlinden and Mrs. Michael McGuire of Canada, Mrs. H. D. McConnell of Williamstown, and Mrs. Ellen McConnell of Utica; three brothers, Moses and Martin Jordan of Canada and James Jordan of Williamstown; thirteen grandchildren ane several nieces and nephews.
