OBITUARY.
Mrs. S. J. McNally, wife of County Treasurer McNally, died Saturday morning Oct. 13th at 10 o'clock a. m. at her late residence in this village, aged 30 years. The deceased was a daughter of Angus McGillis, a former resident and well known lumberman of Alcona county. She was married to S. J. McNally at West Bay City on the 26th of June, 1876, by the Rev. Fr. Canter. Two daughters aged 9 years and 3 years respectively are left as the fruit of this union. Her death following closely after that of their infant daughter born Oct. 1st, deepens the sorrow of the afflicted family and the sympathy of the entire community is extended to them in this sad bereavement and irreparable loss. The funeral services were held Tuesday from the Catholic church. That edifice was filled to over flowing with friends of the family gathered from all parts of the county and from Au Sable, Alpena and other cities to pay homage to the virtues of the deceased and show their respect for the living. The choir service was rendered by the Au Sable choir. The church was appropriately draped.
