Sacred Heart Cemetery


A Sad Homecoming

Mr. M. E. Shiel and his son Ed Jr. of Bentonville, Ark. arrived Thursday over the Santa Fe accompanying the remains of the wife and mother, who died at the home near Bentonville. Relatives and friends met the bereaved father and son and remains were taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Fennessey. Memorial services under the auspices of the Royal Neighbors of which order the deceased had been a member, will be held at J. E. Fennessey's residence at 9 o'clock, this Friday morning and funeral services will be held at the Catholic church at 10 o'clock, conducted by Father Smeur. Interment will immediately follow the funeral services.

Eliza O'Connor was born in Goodland, Indiana in 1870. Moved to Pratt, Kansas in 1882, was married in 1888 in Pratt, Kansas to M.E. Shiel, who survives her. Eight children, four boys and four girls, were born to this union. The family came to Woods county on the day of the race, September 16, 1893 and located on a claim nearly a mile west of Alva, and they lived in Alva until two years ago when they moved to Bentonville, Ark.

Mrs. Shiel has been failing for the past three months, a victim of that dread disease, pellagra. The sympathies of hosts of friends are with the bereaved husband and children.
