Mrs. Catherine Tracy, widow of the late Dan Tracy, died at her home on
Huron
Street Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. She had been an invalid for some
time.
Mrs. Tracy was 82 years of age. She was born in Ireland but in early
childhood
came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Morrissey to Maple Grove,
where she
was reared and married to Dan Tracy some sixty years ago. After her
marriage,
she moved with her husband to a farm in Liberty. About 38 years ago,
they sold
the farm and moved to this city where they conducted a hotel at South
Tenth and
Marshal Streets for twenty years, retiring ten years ago. Mr. Tracy died in
Oct., 1919.
Mrs. Tracy was esteemed and respected by all who knew her. She was an
every day
Christian. The influence of a pure religion was spread over a life and
character
as spotless as was ever possessed by any of the good women who have
lived and
died during the aged that are gone. She was always ready to lend a
helping hand
in time of need. No one was more willing to aid the suffering, sustain
the weak
and to throw over the frailties of our race, the mantle of charity.
Mrs. Tracy is survived by one sister, Mrs. Lawrence Gill of Maple Grove
and several
nieces and nephews. The funeral services were held at Sacred Heart
Church Tuesday
morning. Interment was in St. Isidore Cemetery in Meeme.
