DEATH'S HARVEST
The Grim Reaper Desolates Four Laramie Homes
Four Souls Called to Judgement and the New Year is Ushered in with Families Bereaved and Mourning - A Touching Mark of Sympathy Shown Last Sunday Night
The passing of the old year was marked almost within twenty-four hours by the death of four residents of Laramie, and the new year's coming finds saddened homes, vacant chairs, orphan children, bereaved husband, wife or parents, and a vacant place in four households.
The death or Mrs. J.J. Hickey, which occurred this morning shortly before the rise of the sun was the close of many hours for watchers who had been at the bedside waiting for the end, which all knew was near and might happen any time. Her death leaves a feeling of sadness not only upon the relatives, but with those friends, some schoolmates in years past, who had known her for many years.
Mrs. Margaret Hickey was the daughter of Mrs. Patrick Carroll, a well known and revered resident of Laramie, and it was the death of her father six months ago which seemed to have caused a shock which lead to her death from heart trouble.
Deceased was 37 years old on November 11th last, having been a resident of Laramie twenty seven years. In October, 1887, she was married to J.J. Hickey, who together with three children, her mother and sister, Mrs. Anna Hull, and two brothers, James and John Carroll are living and mourn her departure.
Deceased was a good daughter, wife and mother, and numbered all as friends who knew her and whose kind words and smiling face were always a pleasure to her family and friends.
The funeral will take place Thursday at 9 a.m. from the Catholic Church.
A most touching evidence of sympathy and the brotherhood of men was shown on the going out of the old year. By mutual consent all engineers in Laramie refrained from making any demonstration because it was know that Mrs. Hickey was dying. Such a spontaneous evidence of sympathy shows that there is a common bond of sympathy between all.
