Kilkenny Farmer Asleep in Death
James P. Carroll Succumbs Lake Sunday at Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis
The sad intelligence reached this city early last Monday morning announcing the death of James P. Carroll, prominent Kilkenny township farmer, who passed away at the Northwestern hospital in Minneapolis, at eleven o'clock on Sunday evening [October 27, 1929] following a long siege of suffering.
The remains were conveyed to the farm home, south of this city, on Monday afternoon and lay in state until Wednesday morning, when the funeral was held from the Church of St. Canice in Kilkenny at 9:30 o'clock. Rev. M. Reilly conducted the services and entoned a high mass of requiem. Interment was in Calvary cemetery. The pall bearers were: James Reeder, Timothy Cashin, James and Matthew Furlong, James Delehanty, John Fogarty and Mark and John Higgins.
James Phillip Carroll, a son of the late Matthew and Mary Ryan Carroll, was born at Covington, Kentucky, on Oct 7th, 1870. When one year old he came west with his parents who settled in Kilkenny township, where he made his home ever since. On September 29, 1903, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Fitzpatrick at Kilkenny. They took up their residence on a farm just south of the old homestead, where they have lived in peace, happiness, and contentment ever since.
About a year ago he was taken ill and submitted to an operation for intestinal trouble. He withstood the ordeal very well and was on the road to recovery when kidney trouble developed. Due to his physical condition it was necessary for him to undergo treatment in order to build up a weakened system. During this period an eye infection set in and about a month ago he underwent another operation. On October 21st he was again operated on. He rallied for a few days but his heart was not strong enough to hold up under the heavy strain and he gradually grew weaker and weaker until death came to relieve his suffering.
Mr. Carroll's death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of relatives and host of friends. He was one of Nature's noblemen in its truest sense-brave, generous, many. He was a soul of honor and his friends and friend- ships were sacred to him. He was a good neighbor, a loving husband, a dutiful father and a kind and helpful husband, a man who filled all the various relations of life well.
Besides a devoted wife he leaves two daughters, Beatrice and Dolores and three sisters, Mrs. William Reilly, of Erin township, Mrs. John Hayes of Billings, Montana and Mathilda Carroll of Rochester. We can only remind these mourners that he is not dead, he is only asleep, resting after a well spent life here; he cannot and would not, if he could, return to us. Behind the storm clouds always lurk the rainbow and when the storm is past it weeps upon the flowers of the land and the pearls of the sea. Darkness preceded the dawning and out of the blackness of night comes the sunshine and joy of the day. And so from the beauty of his life take an inspiration and go forth to live as he lived, so that when the summons comes you may say as he did, "All is well."
