MRS. T. M. REILLY VERY ILL.
_____

Another Stroke of Apoplexy Last Night
and Her condition Today is
Very Precarious.

      It will be sad news to the many friends of Mrs. T. M. Reilly to learn that she has suffered another stroke of apoplexy and that her life now hangs by a thread. Some years ago she had the first stroke and since that time she has been an invalid. On account of her advanced years and her long siege of sickness but little hope is given by the attending physician for her recovery. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 19 May 1903, p. 3)

SHE SLEEPS HER LAST SWEET SLEEP
_____

Mrs. Timothy M. Reilly Died at
Her Home in East Brainerd
Last Night
_____

HAD BEEN A PATIENT SUFFERER
_____

Leaves Husband and Large Family of Children—
Well Known in Brainerd.

      Mrs. Sarah Reilly, beloved wife of Timothy M. Reilly, one of the most beloved women of the city, died last night at 11:30 o'clock at her home in East Brainerd, and a large number of friends pause to shed a tear.
      Althoughh she has not been very active for the past eight or nine years on account of having sustained a stroke of apoplexy, she will nevertheless be missed by a wide circle of friends. She has borne up with almost incredible patience through all her sickness, and it was the finer qualities of her nature that shown out, and notwithstanding her unfortunate position, there was always a radiance which permeated every corner of that happy home, and the family circle was an especially happy one.
      A few days ago the second stroke of apoplexy came and from that time on she became unconscious and when the angel of peace touched her brow and death had taken the place of life, she was not aware of what was going on about her, did not know with what tender solicitude she was being cared for and was unconscious of the pain at parting.
      Mrs. Sarah Reilly was born at Castlebar, county Mayo, Ireland, fifty-nine years ago. She moved, with her husband, to this country in 1870 and for nearly thirteen years lived at Hokah, Minn. They moved to Brainerd twenty years ago and have since then made this city their home.
      Besides the husband there are four sons and five daughters to mourn the loss as follows: M. J. Reilly, of this city; Patrick and Will Reilly, of Missoula, Mont.; Thos. Reilly, Washington; and the Misses Sadie, Nellie, Mayme and Dell Reilly, of this city and Mrs. Thos. Loftus, of Staples.
      THE DISPATCH joins with a large circle of friends in extending sympathy to the members of the family in this their sad hour of affliction.
      The funeral will be held on Monday morning at 9 o'clock from St. Francis church. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 22 May 1903, p. 3)

      Will Reilly came home yesterday from Missoula to attend the funeral of his mother, Mrs. T. M. Reilly, who died night before last. Mrs. Loftus, of Staples, is also in the city. Patrick Reilly and Thomas Reilly will be unable to be present at the funeral. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 23 May 1903, p. 4)

      At the church, a solemn requiem mass was sung, Rev. Father D. W. Lynch being the celebrant. This was followed by a short but very eloquent eulogy on the life of the departed. Rev. Father Lynch spoke in endearing terms of the one in whose honor all had gathered to pay homage and their last respects.
