Giblin, John L. (1877 - 1918)
Denison Review, May 1, 1918
Death: John L. Giblin Passes Beyond
Young Man, Who Spent Most of His Life at Vail, Dies at Cedar Rapids on Monday, April 22.
Deceased Leaves Wife and Three Children Besides Numerous Relatives - Many Attend the Funeral

On Monday morning, April 22, at about eight o'clock at his home at Cedar Rapids, occurred the death of Dr. John L. Giblin, following an extended illness of about two years of heart trouble. The news of his death was received with universal sorrow but his condition was not such as to cause alarm until a short while before he passed away.

Dr. John L. Giblin, son of Michael Giblin, of this place, was born at Sterling, Ill, Sept. 10, 1877, and died at his home in Cedar Rapids, April 22, 1918, aged 40 years 7 months and 12 days. Most of his life was spent in this town as it was here he grew to manhood. He graduated from St. Ann's academy and later spent three years at college at Dubuque. He followed the vocation of an eye doctor, for many years, during which time he gradually ascended the ladder of success.

He was united in marriage to Miss Mary McNamara at St. Ann's church, June, 1901. To this union one son, John, was born. His wife preceded him to the grave some 15 years ago.

He was again married about 13 years ago to Miss Margaret Rueruda at Cedar Rapids. To this union, two children, Michael and Margaret were born. Surrounded by his loving wife, and devoted children, the angel of death gently severed the fragile cord which separated this devoted son, husband and father from earth and those he loved so dearly.

The funeral services were held at St. Ann's church at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. Solemn requiem mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Murphy, Rev. Father Farrelly of Denison, deacon, Rev. Father Harty, sub-deacon. The spacious church was filled with sympathizing relatives and friends. After mass they accompanied the remains to their last resting place in St. Ann's cemetery.

Besides the sorrowing wife, three children, namely: John, of this place, and Michael and Margaret, who live at Cedar Rapids, his father, Michael Giblin of this place, and one brother, T. J. Giblin, of Denison and two sisters, Mrs. P. Cody, of Manilla and Mrs. Jas. Brogan of this place, besides numerous other relatives and friends are left to mourn his death.

Those from a distance in attendance at the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Bombhoover and family of Carroll, James Hook and wife of Manilla, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cody and baby, Mr. and Mrs. J.J. McMahon and Mrs. P. Cody and daughters Nellie and Annie besides other relatives who accompanied the remains from Cedar Rapids. The pall bearers were P.T. Brogan, John Monoghan, Jas. Brogan, John Brogan, Bert Mitchell and Bart Mitchell.

The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the sorrowing relatives in this sad hour of affliction.
