TRIBUTE TO AN OLD AND RESPECTED MAPLE GROVE LADY.
The following obituary notice written concerning the late Mrs. W. Falvey of
Franklin who died July 13 has been sent to The Pilot: "Mrs. W. Falvey deceased,
was born in Ireland, May 11, 1832 and was 70 years of age at the time of her
death. In 1840, she came to America with her parents, and the family settled at
Holyoke, Mass. Some years later she was married to Wm. Falvey and from Massachusetts they moved to Hudson, New York. Later on they moved to Windsor, Canada, where they remained until the fall of 1856, when they finally moved to Franklin, this county and settled on a farm where she resided up to her death. She was the mother of five sons and three daughters.
At her death bed were Peter, of Wausaukee, Daniel of the old homestead, William of
Ellis Junction, Mrs. L. Daley and Miss Nellie Falvey, both of Chicago, the other
daughter and two sons together with her husband having died some years ago. She was a sister of Michael Doolan who also was present when she died.
She was buried Tuesday July 15, from St. Patrick's church, interment at Maple Grove
cemetery, Rev. T. J. Ryan officiating. Her pall bearers were Thos O'Hearn, Pat
O'Hearn, Jos. Sheahan, Jno. Millins, Thos. Morrissey, and Jno. Cummings.
Her funeral was one of the largest ever held at Maple Grove, a reminder of the
esteem in which she was held by the community. She was a woman of marked ability
and an invaluable neighbor in time of sickness and trouble. When told that medical
aid was of no avail to her she expressed a wish that she would not live longer and
burden others with caring for her. Her request was answered for she did not live
but 10 days longer.
