DEATH COMES TO CO. PIONEER MRS. HALLORAN
Early Day Resident of Cato Passes To Rest In City
Mrs. Nora Halloran, widow of Hugh Halloran, Sr., died at her home, 628 North
Ninth street, at 1 a.m. Sunday morning, death being due to infirmities incident
to old age. Mrs. Halloran has been ill for some time and the end came as a
release from suffering. The funeral will be held from the home at 8 o’clock
Wednesday morning with services at Sacred Heart Catholic church and burial will
be made at the Maple Grove cemetery.
Mrs. Halloran, nee Burke, was born in Ireland eighty-two years ago and came to
America at the age of twelve. For a time the family made their home at New York
and later moved to Steubenville, Ohio, where she met Hugh Halloran and was married
in 1868. Immediately following their marriage the couple came to Wisconsin and
settled on a farm in the town of Cato and with the pioneers suffered all the
hardship incident to wresting a home from the wilderness. Six children were born
to them. The family continued to make its home on the old homestead until two
years after the death of the father which occurred in 1940. Two years later, Mrs.
Halloran turned the farm over to one of the sons and came to this city to take up
her home. Of the family only two children now survive, John and Miss Elizabeth,
both of whom make their home in this city.
The Halloran family will be remembered by all the older residents of the county
and Mrs. Halloran through her helpfulness and sympathy for those in need gained
for herself a wide circle of friends.
With the younger generation she was popular for her keen kindly wit and pleasing
demeanor and news of her death will come as a shock.
