Davenport Democrat
Scott County, Iowa
31 Mar 1890

OBITUARY.
HAYES.
After an illness of 18 months Mrs. T.M. HAYES died Sunday night at 11
o'clock.
The deceased was born June 24, 1830 at Dundalk, Ireland. Her maiden name was
Margaret HALL. She came to this country in 1844, and in 1849 was married, in
St. Louis, to Timothy HAYES. In 1861 the family removed to this city, and
have resided here since that time. Three children are left: James T., Frank
W., and Mary E. of Des Moines.
The funeral will be from the residence of James T. HAYES at 209 West Second
street, at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning with services at St. Mary's church.
Interment in St. Marguerite's cemetery.

TICKLED TO DEATH.
The Marshalltown Statesman says that it "is only too pleased to record the
fact that its notice last week of the death of E.R. HOGLE of Timber Creek
was premature, and that the old gentleman is still alive and may possibly
recover." We can see with our mind's eye the glad flush of joy o'erspread
the cheek of the editor of our contemporary when the old man's 6-foot son
came in to announce that the old man was giving the grim reaper a hard
tussle, and to mention that another such break on the part of the paper
would be attended with fatal results. There is no doubt that the caller made
it very pleasant for the editor.

OPEN FOR BUSINESS
The MURRAY shoe house will open for business, Wednesday, April 2d, at 111
West 2nd street, with a full line of shoes.

PERSONAL
Mrs. R..R. HENDERSON and her two boys are in Oskalooska for a week.
C.D. HOWELL and family are visiting Mr. BIRDSALL at the St. James.
Mrs. J.M. GLASPELL left this morning for Chicago.

THE WILL OF PETER KERKER
The will of the late Peter KERKER is on file in the district's clerk's
office. To the widow is bequeathed all furniture, pictures, and household
goods, and one third of all his property, both real and personal. All the
remainder of the estate is to be divided between the six children, share and
share alike. In case the son Joseph KERKER does not appear personally within
15 months from the death of the maker of the will, his share is to be
equally divided between the other five children. In no case, should the said
Joseph KERKER not appear in person, are his heirs to receive any portion of
the estate.
The sons George W. and Henry W. are appointed administrators without bond.
The instrument bears date Nov. 13, 1889 and was witnessed by John HILL and
T.W. McCLELLAND.

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY
The family of Patrick O'SHAUGHNESSY, residing in Rockingham township, is
sadly afflicted. At about 2 o'clock Sunday morning Thomas Leo a bright boy
of six years of age, died of diphtheria. This loss was followed at about the
same time this morning by the death of James, 10 years old, from the same
malignant disease. Another child, Anna, and the mother, are ill. The family
are well known here in the city, the father being a brother of Thomas
O'SHAUGHNESSY and the mother a sister of Charles GARTLAND. The bodies of the
two children arrived this afternoon and were interred in St. Mary's
cemetery.
