She was always social and pleasant and had a smile for everybody. The loss of her from our midst is most sincerely regretted by all and the husband and children of the deceased have the sympathy of the community. Mrs. Lambert was at church last Sunday and was as well as usual Monday and did her regular washing. She went to bed a little earlier than she usually did and in the night her heart commenced to bother her a little as was often the case. She applied some remedies and went to bed again feeling better and seemed to sleep well. About three o'clock in the morning Mr. Lambert woke up and noticed that she was sleeping nicely and in about fifteen minutes Mrs. Lambert commenced to breathe very heavily and could not be awakened. At this her husband jumped out of bed and called Mr. Christy who lives next door, and lit a lamp and she was then beyond consciousness, not living over five minutes from the first demonstration of hard breathing and died before anybody could get to the house. Her son, Grant, was at the livery barn sleeping and could not be informed of her fate until she had passed away. The funeral services were held at the M.

[From "Dubuque Sunday Herald" Submitted by Suzanne Folk] Mary Skahill The Passing Of Mrs. Mary Skahill Funeral Services Held from St. Patrick's Church Last Friday Morning. As was mentioned in these columns in our last issue, Mrs. Mary Skahill, wife of W. J. Skahill, living two miles north of town, passed to her reward last Tuesday evening and the funeral was held on Friday morning fron St. Patrick's church, Solemn Requim High Mass being sung for the repose of the soul. Mary A. McNiff was born near Battle Creek on August 24, 1881 and would have reached her 41st year, had she lived until the 24th of this month. She resided on a farm where she was born until 9 years of age when she and her parents moved to the farm north of Danbury. She received her education in St. Patrick's Academy and later taught in the country schools of this vicinity. She was united in marriage to W. J. Skahill on June 14, 1905, at St. Patrick's church in this city and after the wedding the newly married couple went to Cascade to make their home, living there until the year 1920 when they returned to this place and took up their residence on the farm, north of town. Three children were born to the union; Gerald, aged 8, Alfred 7, and Merlin 4, all of whom are living and are left with the kind and loving husband, the lady's mother and brother, to mourn her untimely departure. Mrs. Skahill had been ailing for nearly a year and a half past but had been able to be up and around until just last week before her demise when she was compelled to go to bed, and even then would get up out of bed for a short time on different occasions. She suffered from an attack of diabetes and did not have any idea that her time had come as she was planning with friends the night before she passed away about a new home that she and her husband were intending to build. She was a loving mother, an excellent helpmate, and was never satisfied unless she was doing something for some one else. Even though she was not feeling the best she always bore her suffering in solitude and when her time came to die she passed away as peacefully as though she were going to sleep. So this life has passed into the joy of her Lord, the memory of her life must prove a perpetual inspiration. Funeral services were conducted at St. Patrick's church Friday morning and a large number were out to pay their last respects to the departed, many being in attendance from Anthon and the surrounding towns. After the services at the church, the large party wended its way to the cemetery on the north edge of town where the body was laid to rest by hands that had tried to make her life happy while with us.
