MICHAEL CONNELL,
SECTION FOREMAN,
DIED OF PNEUMONIA
YESTERDAY.
WAS FORTY-TWO YEARS OF AGE.
HIS MAKES THIRD DEATH IN
CONNELL FAMILY IN
SEVERAL DAYS PAST.
Michael J. Connell, of 910 Locust street, a man who has been in the service of the Burlington railroad ever since a youth, died at his home yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock after an illness of six days with pneumonia. Mr. Connell had been suffering with a severe cold for several days, but his devotion to duty kept him at work even after the time when he should have been taking better care of himself. He was induced to go to bed a week ago today, and although all that medical aid could do, was done, his death came as above mentioned.
The decedent was born in Quincy, Oct. 14, 1870, making him at the time of his death 42 years, some months and days old. His father, Michael Connell, Sr., was section foreman on the Burlington tracks between here and Eubanks, and young Michael took up the work in which his father was engaged.
Fourteen years ago, the elder Connell, becoming too old to follow the work longer, turned the foremanship over to his son. Since that time, the Walton Heights spur of the Burlington has been built, and the duties of the foreman on this stretch of track have been many. Mr. Connell was equal to any occasion, however, and he made many friends, especially among the railroad men, with whom he was a favorite.
His death comes as a great shock, especially as this is the third death in the family since the 20th of December. At that time, the mother of the late Michael Connell, Mary Connell died. Her demise was followed in the same week by that of Miss Mary Connell.
Member of St. Rose Church.
Mr. Connell was a staunch member of the St. Rose church, of the Burlington Relief association, of the St. James branch of the W. C. U., and was very popular with everyone.
Besides the widow, two children, Michael Jr., and Marian, aged 3 and 1 year respectively, survive. There are also two brothers, Thomas Connell, a member of the Quincy police force, and Jack Connell, employed at the Hargadine-McKittrick company, and two sisters, Mrs. Joe Langdon and Miss Katherine Connell, both of this city, besides numerous other relatives in Edina, Mo., and St. Louis.
The funeral announcement will be made later.
