LAST RITES FOR CHAS. O'MALLEY ON SATURDAY
Body Brought Here, Taken To Blooming Prairie
Was Born In Owatonna, Had Many Friends Here
Spending a happy day with fellow knights here last Sunday, in the best of health, four days later Charles O'Malley lay dead in the Brick & Misgen chapel only a few feet from the hall where he had visited with his friends on Sunday. In the prime of life, death took this man, friend of hundreds in Owatonna, Blooming Prairie and Ellendale, and left a sorrowing family to mourn his loss.
Mr. O'Malley left here for his home Sunday evening after the Knights of Columbus session at their hall, and with many companions traveled to Albert Lea, where he expected to get a train Monday morning for Ellendale. Before he left he complained of a headache, but it was not regarded as serious, and he was talking and laughing with everyone. But as they passed Hope, a change was noticed, and by the time they had reached Albert Lea, it was evident that he was in a serious condition. Paralysis had struck him like a bolt out of a clear sky, and he was taken to the Naeve hospital at Albert Lea. Although everything was done for him, his condition was admittedly serious, in spite of the fact that he had never been sick, and had always been regarded as a strong, healthy man. His family was called to his bedside, and they with a few close friends, were with him to the last. He died shortly after midnight Wednesday night.
Mr. O'Malley was born in Owatonna, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick O'Malley. January 31 he would have been 50 years old. His parents were among the early settlers in Owatonna, coming here in the sixties. They lived here about fifteen years, then moving to St. Paul. Charles moved to Blooming Prairie, where he lived for some time, and then went to Ellendale. He has operated a confectionery store and poolhall there for a number of years. Practically all his life has been spent in Steele county, with the exception of about a year at Albert Lea. In every section of the county he is well known, and has many friends. He has always taken an active part in public affairs.
About sixteen years ago he married Grace Dugan of Austin, and five children have been born to them. Two of them are dead, and are buried in the family plot at Blooming Prairie. He is survived by his wife and three daughters, Mildred, Ione and Margaret. Four sisters and two brothers also survive him. They are Mrs. Amy Williams of Wheaton, Mrs. Nellie Kelley of Minneapolis, Mrs. Annie Kelley of St. Paul, Mrs. Lindy Boehm of Milwaukee and the two brothers George and Arthur, whose exact addresses are not known. The body was taken to Owatonna yesterday, and then to Blooming Prairie on the evening train last night. The funeral is to be Saturday morning at St. Columbanus church, of which Rev. A. R. Doran is pastor. Many friends and fellow knights from here will go down for the funeral tomorrow.
