Obituary of Mrs. Foley
Mary J. Fairchild was born in Washington county, Ohio, September 28th, 1828. When she was about 23 years of age she moved with her parents to Monroe county, Illinois. In 1868 she came to Clifton and with the exception of about three years that she resided in Mitchell county, was a resident of Clifton. She was a successful school teacher in Ohio and Illinois. She also taught two terms in this vicinity. She was joined in marriage with Wm. H. Foley February 21st 1869. She professed religion about 30 years ago and for a few years held her membership with the United Brethern church, but for a term of years has been a consistent member of the M.E. church of this place. She was an active member in the W C T U also a member of the Woman's Relief Corps. Her health at times was such that she could not meet with these societies as often as she desired. For a woman afflicted in earious ways as she was, it is remarkable how much she accomplished. She was a christian lady, loved by all who knew her. Sister Foley was one of the best of neighbors, a loving wife. She will be greatly missed in this community where she has lived so long. Coming to Kansas in an early day she knew what hardships were. Year by year she with her husband toiled on while others gave up, and succeeded in getting a compency for old age. She leaves a heart stricken husband, two brothers, three sisters and a large number of relatives to mourn their loss. The funeral was largely attended Wednesday at her late residence, Rev. Brainard of Beloit, officiated, assisted by Rev. Fisher of the Presbyterian church and Rev. Parkinson of the M.E. church. Her last sickness continued about two weeks. The best medical skill and most excellent nursing and care by kind friends did not avail and Tuesday the 26th, she passed to her reward on high. Her remains, at her request, were deposited in the Odd Fellows cemetery north of Clifton. (Clifton News, Friday 29 June 1900)
