MRS. TIM DAILY GONE

On last Saturday, Mrs. Tim Daily, one of the oldest settlers of the county, passed away, the victim of pneumonia.

Mrs. Daily was born and reared to womanhood in Ireland, being married there in the year 1866 and coming with her husband directly to New Jersey where they resided until the year ’68 when they removed to Omaha. In the year ’70 they moved to DeSoto where they resided until ’79 and then moved to Calhoun.

Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Daily , four boys and four girls, and all with the exception of one girl, are living.

At the time of the death of the mother, one daughter was in the hospital at Lincoln. She attempted to come but when reaching Blair was again forced to enter the hospital at this place.

Two children, Clara and Din, are still at home and the aged father will live with them.

The funeral services were held Monday at the Catholic church in this city and the large procession of old neighbors and friends were mute proofs of the respect in which she was held by those who knew her.

The death of Mrs. Catherine Dailey, wife of Timothy Dailey, occurred at the family home on the farm, nine miles south of Blair, on last Friday, after an illness of a fortnight’s duration, at the age of 74 years.

Mr. and Mrs. Dailey came to Washington county from Omaha, when the O. & N.W. railroad was first built, locating at the DeSoto water tank where Mr. Dailey was section foreman for many years, later being transferred by the company to Calhoun, where he held the same position for a number of years, subsequently resigning his position and locating on the land which has been their home ever since.

She was a native of Ireland, coming after marriage to this country in 1866, locating first in New Jersey, and two years later coming to Omaha, where her husband obtained employment on the Union Pacific railroad under Civil Engineer J.E. House, who was the first superintendent of the Omaha road, and brought the Dailies here with him. She leaves her husband and seven children: John, a farmer nearby the home farm; Mrs. Mary Patterson, Dennis and Clair, living at home; Mrs. Catherine Fogarty, living at Greeley, this state, and Daniel and Thomas, of Omaha, to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church in this city, Rev. F’r O’Driscoll officiating on Monday last.

MRS. TIM DAILEY

Mrs. Tim Dailey departed from this life last Friday evening, pneumonia fever having developed a week or so previous to her death.

Mr. and Mrs. Dailey were married in the County of Cork, Ireland, in 1866, coming to America the same year. After spending two years in New Jersey they went to Omaha and from there they moved to a farm in the DeSoto neighborhood. For nine years they lived at this place and finally went to Calhoun, later moving to their farm south of Blair where they have resided ever since.

There are four sons and three daughters, besides the husband who remain to mourn the loss of the departed one. All of the children were at her bedside when she passed away except Mary who is in a hospital at Lincoln.

Mrs. Dailey was past seventy years of age and during her residence in various places she accumulated many acquaintances as was shown by the many old settlers who came from Omaha and various other parts of the state to be present at the last sad rites. She was a loving mother and a devoted companion, and her many acquaintances will always remember her as being a staunch friend.

The funeral services were held from the Catholic church at 10:30 o’clock Monday morning, interment being made in the Blair cemetery.

(Note that, in these newspaper articles, the family surname is spelled in two different ways: Daily and Dailey.)
