Funeral Held At Rosemount On Saturday---Many Attend From Long Ways
It becomes our sad duty, this week, to chronicle the death of an old and respected resident of Rosemount, Anthony J. Walsh, who was called to his eternal rest from his home near Rosemount on Wednesday afternoon, March 20, 1918 in his 83 year.
Mr. Walsh had been in excellent health up to within a few days before he died. On Saturday, although he was still up and around, Dr. Schatz was called. Monday, he took a turn for the worse and it was apparent to the doctor that he had pneumonia. A trained nurse was sent for and Dr. Dodge call in consultation. All that loving hands and medical skill could do was of no avail. He failed rapidly and about three o'clock on Wednesday, he passed away in the presence of all his family and fortified by the rites of the Catholic church.
Anthony Walsh was born in the county of Mayo, Ireland in 1835. At the age of fourteen years, he crossed the ocean to the land of opportunity and spent a few years at Saratoga, New York. From there, he went to Savanah, Georgia, where he remained until the outbreak of the Civil War. Not being in sympathy with the ideals of the South, he returned to New York, where he joined his mother, brothers and sisters, who had recently arrived.
Shortly after this, the family came to St. Paul and he was employed for a time by Major Hatch and also General Sibley. Fifty-five years ago, he came to Rosemount and bought the farm on which he has since lived a long and useful life and died a happy death. Two of his brothers and two sisters located on adjoining farms.
He was married to Margaret Nyland at the Cathedral of St. Paul on June 28, 1874. She passed away on January 4, 1913. Twelve children were born to them, five of whom are living and were with him at the time of his death. They are: Frank J, Anthony J., and Mrs. William F Hogan of Rosemount: Mrs. George Whitcher of Farmington and Mrs. John L Suel of New Prague. Four grandchildren and one brother, Patrick J. and one sister, Mrs. Anna McHugh, also survive. Five children died in infancy, Patrick died on August 3, 1906, age 30 years and Lillian died on December 18, 1911, aged 16 years.
Mr. Walsh was a man of kind heart and generous impulses. His cheery greeting and hearty handshake will be remembered by all who knew him. He was one of the noble old pioneers, whose industry, integrity and honesty had built up this great commonwealth of Minnesota. He was among the first and nearly the last. While his happy death, after such a long and useful life, leaves little place for sorrow; still he will be forever in the memory of his neighbors and the vacant chair by the fireside will ever be a reminder to his family that they have lost a devoted father and friend.
The funeral was held from St. Joseph's Catholic church in Rosemount at 10:30 A.M. on Saturday, Rev. Fr. Lugy of Rosemount intoned a solemn High Mass of requism, assisted by Rev. Fr. F.J. Lang of Hastings, a nephew of the deceased as deacon and Rev. Fr. Ryan of Inver Grove as subdeacon. St. Joseph's choir sang the responses. The pallbearers were: William Kelly, John Hyland, John Mullery, Roger Casey, Charles McCarthy and Arthur B. Suel.
Besides the immediate relatives and pallbearers enumerated above, the following were present: Mrs. Kate Lynch, Mr. and Mrs. William Lang, James and William Schneider, Mr. and Mrs. John McQuillian, Mrs. James McQuillian, Mrs. T.E. Devitt, Mrs. John Johnston, Mrs. M. Coffey, Mrs. P Mangan, Miss Julia Mullery, Miss Stella Hyland and Stephan Brophy,, all of St. Paul and Mr. and Mrs. Krank Schneider, Melvin Faricy, Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Suel and family and T. F. White of Credit Lake. Besides this, from a distance, were a large number from Farmington, Lakeville, and Burnsville.

A Good Women Gone.
Mrs. Anthony Walsh died suddenly at her home in Lebanon some time Saturday morning, January 4, of heart trouble.
About 1 o'clock Saturday morning Mr. Walsh got up to get a drink and found Mrs. Walsh sitting in a rocking chair by the stove, which was a very common thing for her to do as she was subject to rheumatism and this always seemed to give her relief. Mr. Walsh remarked that she better got to bed, which she did, and he laid don with her. About 6 o'clock he hat up to build the uncovered which led him to think something was wrong and investigation proved that she was dead. (This sentence reads exactly as stated in paper) Aside from frequent attacks from rheumatism she had good health and neither her family nor friends ever thought her condition serious. Her sudden death is a severe shock to her family and friends.
Mrs. Walsh's maiden name was Margaret Nyland. She was born in Ireland March 7, 1860, and came to America when quite young. She was united in marriage with Anthony Walsh in June, 1876, and to them twelve children were born, viz: Frank, Mrs. W. F. Hogan, Tony, Maude and Addye, seven of them having preceded her in death.
The funeral was held on Tuesday January 7, at St. Joseph's church in Rosemount, solemn requiem mass being said by P.J. McCabe of Inver Grove assisted by two of her nephews Revs. Peter Land of North St. Paul and Joseph Lang of Minneapolis. Rev. Larence Cosgrove, acting as master of ceremonies.

Obituary
Died at the home of his parents in Lebanon on August 3rd 1906 Patrick J Walsh beloved son of Anthony and Margaret Walsh.
Deceased was born in Lebanon April 7th 1877 and spent all his life in the home of his birth where he was esteemed and loved by all who knew him.
About a month ago he contracted a cold which rapidly developed into lung trouble and this in conncection with other complications which arose brought on his death in spite of the best medical attention and loving care that could be bestowed upon him. The funeral took place last Monday and was in charge of the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Divinsion No 2 Dakota Co of which deceased was a member. A requiem high mass was celebrated by Rev Father Moore of Rosemount assisted by Rev Father Lange first cousin of the deceased. A father, mother, two brothers, and four sisters are left to mourn the loss of an obedient son and loving brother.
With loving care we watched o'er him,
Amid alternate hopes and fears
When life's faint spark appeared less dim
We'd brush away our falling tears.
But when that little spark would fade
And short and gasping came his breath
We knelt beside his bed and prayed
That God would stay the hand of death.
With tireless feet and willing hands
We strove unceasing night and day
To keep him from Death's silent lands
But we could not drive grim Death away.
For Death flies not on idle wings
And when he comes his warrant's sealed
On earth he is the King of Kings
To his decree we all must yield.
In vain we tried his life to save
And foolish each delusive hope
Death marked him for an early grave
Against his power we could not cope.
But even in our deepest gloom
This bright hope should cheer us on
That in the land beyond the tomb
We'll meet again our dear loved one.

Mr. Editor
I would like to write a few lines relative to the illness and death of Patrick Walsh of Lebanon.
He was born in that township on the farm still owned by his father April 9, 1878 (???) and died August 3 1906 aged 28 years 3 months and 6 days. The funeral was held at St. Joseph's church Rosemount Monday Aug 6th under the auspices of Division No 2 A O H of Rosemount of which he was a member. Requiem High Mass was celebrated by Rev Father Moore assisted by Rev Peter Land and Rev Frank Lang both 1st cousins of the deceased.
The funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends both from the community and from a distance. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. The deceased had been sick for one month during which time he exhibited a wonderful degree of patience and fortitude. Everything that could be done was done by devoted relatives, kind friends and skillful physicians to restore the young man to his normal condition of health which had been very good up to the time of his illness.
It seems hard that a vigorous young man int he very beginning of a useful life should be cut off in the bloom of his yound manhood but let us remember that;
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to preform.
His foot prints ae in the sea
He rides upon the storm.
It has been the privilege of the writer to be entertained in the home from which he has gone under many different circumstances and have been led to form a high conception of the young man's character. He ever seemed true to his convictions of right and wrong.
He being the first born the heart strings of both father and mother naturally twine more closely about him. The younger brothers and sisters also learned to rely on the judgement and advice of a loving elder brother. Thus these family ties have been severed and Pat has gone out to enter the dear old home no more. Let us hope that these dear ones may be united and these bonds renewed in the great beyond,
Contributed by a friend.
