Resident Here Thirty years to be Buried Tuesday; Death Came Saturday Night
Galushia P. Irish, Civil War veteran and a resident of Bemidji and vicinity for the past 30 years, passed away at his home at 514 Third Street Saturday evening at 10:20 o'clock following an illness of five weeks. He was nearly 86 years of age, having been born August 19, 1841 in Pennsylvania.
Funeral services are to be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the M. E. Ibertson Mortuary and burial will be in Greenwood cemetery beside the body of his second wife who passed away last fall. E. W. Hannah is to officiate at the services. Mr. Irish was a member of the Spiritualistic church and had been actively associated with the R. H. Carr post of the Grand Army of the Republic for many years.
He is survived by four Children, Mrs. Kate Carson of Amity, Oregon, Mrs. Gerty Devaw of Bellingham, Washington, Joseph M. Irish of Dayton, Oregon and G.G. Irish of Cloverdale Oregon. Mrs. Irish, his second wife, to whom he was married here in 1897, being Lettie Porter, passed away last fall. Following her death Mr. Irish went west for the winter, returning a few days before Memorial Day, accompanied by his son G. G. Irish. He had planned to return to the west later, but his health failed him and he could not make the trip.
Besides the four children who are living, five preceded their father in death, all children being of the first marriage, sons and daughters of the former Mrs. Irish who is now Mrs. Alice Fuller of Amity, Oregon. He is also survived by 26 grandchildren and 71 great grandchildren.
Mr. Irish took part in many important battles during the Civil War including Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Bull Run, Shiloh, Memphis, and Pleasant Hill. He later took part in the Indian outbreak in Minnesota and also fought in the Indian uprising in the Black Hills.
After coming to Bemidji 30 years ago, he lived on a farm a short distance from the city for some time, later moving to town. In recent years when he was able he made and repaired violins. He loved the violin and not many months ago participated in an old fiddlers contest at the local theater. Next to his violin he cherished an old crooked cane which he had carried an old crooked cane which he had carried for many years.
Pallbearers are to be supplied by the veterans organizations of the World War, in whom Mr. Irish was greatly interested by reason of his own war experience, also they are providing a firing squad and bugler for the last rites at the grave. All ex-service men are asked by officers of the local veterans organizations to attend the funeral services out of respect for this grand old man of the Civil War who until the last insisted that he was as young as any of the boys of the late war, despite the fact that he was one of the very few remaining Civil War veterans.
