Notes for JAMES BRENNAN:
When I visited Jack Kilcline of St. John's Parish, Roscommonin 1987 he
showed me two registry records that he had:
1) Census Registry of 1749:
Luke Brennan of Carrownamadra (Village of the Dogs): 3Children over 14 yrs.of age.
James Brennan of Carrownure: 2 Children under 14 yrs. of age.
Peter Brennan of Carrownure: 2 Children over 14 yrs. of age.
2) Land Registry of 1828:
James Brennan of Caurraghlaher: 4 Acres of land, (2 Acres -1st Class & 2 Acres - 2nd Class)
It's possible that our James Brennan could have been the sonof James of Caurraghlaher and ggrandson of James ofCarrownure.

1886: Newspaper unknown
This week it becomes our painful duty to chronicle the deathof Mr. James Brennan, when melancholy even occurred at his home in Great Oaktwp., on last Saturday evening. He was in his eighty-ninth year and leavestwelve sons and daughters, seventy-eight grandchildren, and two greatgrandchildren to mourn the closing of his long and useful life. The funeral tookplace on Monday. About one hundred twenty teams followed his remains to theCatholic church, where Rev. Father Smith performed the last and solemnceremonies, after which they were taken to their final resting place.
The deceased was born in St. Johns parish, county ofRoscommon, Ireland and, like millions of his fellow countrymen, he was compelledto wander oer the lonely course of the "Exile of Erin." He landedin New York in 1829, a period long to be remembered by all Irishmen. Soon afterhe went to Philadelphia, thence to New Jersey, and, in 1832 sought a home in thewilds of Upper Canada, where he experienced the many painful trials anddifficulties of a frontier life. In 1864, he came to Clinton, Iowa, removing toBoon county the following year. In April, 1865, he, with his son, James E., cameto this county and took up claims. The deceased and family, with the exceptionof his oldest two sons, made Palo Alto county their permanent home the followingJuly.
In the death of Mr. Brennan, the community has lost anexcellent citizen, a large and respectable family and aged and honored father,and time a long standing monument. Proud, indeed, must the members of thatfamily be as they glance back over his unusually long and well-spent life andview the dark shades of the reverses of life that frequently hung oer him onhis long and painful journey from place to place--proud must they be as they nowwitness the closing of that cherished life. His entire family, save one daughterliving at Jefferson, Iowa, were present at the hour of his death. He was thepractical Catholic and performed the duties of his religion with punctuality andardent devotion. He was kind, generous, and honorable in his dealings with hisneighbors and was ???? of humility, for when he was about to sink into eternalsleep, he requested his son James to buy for him the plainest kind of a coffin.He was an intensely patriotic Irishman and was not slow to censure afellow-countryman who did not manifest a similar spirit of love of fatherland.His name and the many noble acts of his live will long be held in gratefulremembrance by his friends and acquaintances. Requiescat in pace.
From the Palo Alto Pilot, Emmetsburg, Iowa -June 19, 1886:

Mrs. James Brennan
In the last issue of the Tribune we called attention to thevenerable Mrs. James Brennan, who had lived to enjoy nearly a hundred years ofhealth and happiness. But since that time the hand of death has touched her andshe has been called to her eternal reward.
For the past two months Mrs. Brennan has not been very welland her children could notcie that she was growing very feeble and feared thatshe would not live long. They were not mistaken in their fears for Thursdaynight at 2 o'clock she quietly passed away seemingly without a struggle. She hadlived to a gool old age and was content to go.
Katherine Welsh was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, Nov. 2, 1807,and when very young crossed the ocean and with her parents located in Canada. Atthe age of eighteen she was united in marriage to Mr. James Brennan atStratford, County Perth, Canada. To this union 15 children were born and ten ofthem came to this country with their parents, who came here in July 1865, havingmoved the previous fall to Boone County. Each of these children married and livein this county. All are well to do and Mr. and Mrs. Brennan had the pleasure ofhaving their children and grandchildren near them.
On June 18, 1886, Mr. Brennan died and since that time Mrs.Brennan has made her home with her children, though for the greater part of thetime she lived with her daughter, Mrs. P. Leahy, at which place she died. Thedeceased was probably the oldest woman in Palo Alto County. She lived in asimple way and her life, while responsiblilities rested upon her, was one ofhonest toll, devoted to her home and children. She came here in the early dayswhen settlers knew naught but hardship and work. She and her good husbandlabored diligently day by day to support their children and bring them up asbest they could, teaching them the lessons that would make them good citizensand Christian men and women. What eulogy to this woman is necessary? Her lifeand work has eulogized her. Though she may not have been known outside of PaloAlto County, still she has done a noble work. She was a zealous Christian andher every act of life was in accordance to what she believed was right, shefaithfully performed each duty resting upon her and her devotion to her home andfamily was remarkable. She was charitable to all and was kind-hearted andgenerous. While the inactivities of old age has for a number of years removedher from close association with many people, yet those who knew her some yearsago will remember her good qualities and extend sympathy to her sons anddaughters who survive her and mourn her loss. For though she has lived manyyears beyond the average person a mother grows none the less dear as years goby, and her loss is keenly felt.
She leaves six daughters, Mesdames P.R. Jackman, Dan Sherlock,Michael Joynt, Patrick Leahy, Isaac Stewart, all of whom reside in this county,and Mrs. Ann Mugan who lives at Jefferson, Iowa. Of the four sons who came tothis county with her only two are still living, Martin F., who is a resident of(Owakis?) Minn., and Edward Brennan, who lives in Nevada Township. Her son Jamesdied in April 1895, and John in September, 1900.
Sixty-eight grandchildren and fifty-one great grandchildrensurvive her.
The funeral services were conducted by Very Rev. J.J. Smith atthe Assumption church Sunday at 2 o'clock and the remains laid to rest in St.John Cemetery.
The pall-bearers were her six grandchildren, Mike and JoeJoynt, John and James Sherlock, Francis Jackman and Mike Brennan.

John William Brennan
Thursday morning the sad news of the sudden death of John W.Brennan, of Walnut, was learned. He was found dead in his wagon near M.Hester's, while returning home from Emmetsburg. He had been in town most of theday and left for home about 8 o'clock seated on a high box wagon. Two of hissons were coming to town and met his team near M. Hester's. Noticing that therewas no driver, they stopped the horses and found their father lying dead in thebottom of the box. Justice Stuehmer was summoned, who, with Dr. Powers,impaneled a jury for an inquest. The finding was that he had died of apoplexy.The funeral was held Friday. It was perhaps the largest ever witnessed inEmmetsburg. Several counted from 125 to 135 teams in the procession. The usualservices were conducted in the Catholic church. The remains were laid to rest inSt. John's cemetery. The pall bearers were John Joynt, P. Joynt, John K.Brennan, M. Hester, Owen McNulty, and Wm. Anglum.
John W. Brennan was born in the gore of Downy, Ontario, May24, 1839, where he grew to manhood. In 1866, he was married to Caroline Stewart.The following year they came to Iowa and settled in Boone county. In 1869, theycame to Palo Alto and took up a homestead in Walnut township, living there for15 years. They then moved to Emmetsburg township, where he purchased a farm andmade an excellent home, in which his wife and younger children still live. Thedeceased was a thrifty, energetic, successful farmer. He was economical andprovident and after he had built a good home for himself, he made earlyprovision to secure suitable farms for his elder sons in his immediateneighborhood. He was a man of strong purpose. He was determined, blunt, anddecidedly outspoken. His friends could always depend on him, and his enemiesknew where to find him. There was no duplicity in his nature. His friendship waseasily secured and when once obtained was lasting. His ambition was to be fair,!
honest, and just with his fellow man. He leaves a wife, fivesons, and four daughters. The sons are James, John, Martin, Michael, andFrancis. The daughters are Mrs. Wm. Pratt, and Misses Katie, Carrie, and Celia.His sad and unexpected death is a severe blow to all of them and to his agedmother, who still survives him, as well as to his brothers and sisters andnumerous other relatives in this community. The Democrat, for 15 years, knew Mr.Brennan as a loyal friend, and it offers unfeigned sympathy to his family intheir deep sorrow. Peace to his soul.

Notes for CAROLINE A. BRENNAN:
From the Palo Alto Tribune 9-25-1907
Hughes-Brennan
At 7:30 o'clock at the Assumption church in this city the VeryRev. J.J. Smith performed the ceremony that united Mr. Albert Raymond Hughes andMiss Caroline Angela Brennan as man and wife. The bride was beautifully gownedin cream silk and wore a bride's veil and a wreath of bridal roses. She wasattended by her sister, Miss Cecelia Brennan. The groom wore the conventionalblack and was attended by his brother, Ed. M. Hughes. The wedding march wasplayed by Miss Josephine McEvoy accompanied by Miss Ruth Riley on the violin.After the ceremony the bridal couple retired to the home of the bride's mother,Mrs. Caroline Brennan, where they were greeted by a number of their immediaterelatives and where a sumptious wedding breakfast was served. Mr. and Mrs.Hughes will leave on the morning train for St. Paul where they will remain aweek and will then go to Osakis, Minn. to visit the groom's parents, Mr. andMrs. Henry Hughes. When they return they will begin housekeeping in one of theSchirmer cottages in the first ward.
This couple is too well known to our readers to need anintroduction. The groom has been a resident of this county for about eight yearswhile the bride was born and brought up here. They are general favorites andstart on life's journey with a large circle of admiring friends who would gladlyassist them and wish them every possible earthly joy.
The bride has been one of Palo Alto county's best and mostpopular teachers. She was well qualified for her chosen work and entered uponthe work of teaching with the enthusiasm, earnestness, and determination tosucceed that is characteristic of the young lady in any thing that she mayundertake. Success crowned her efforts and she soon took her place in theforemost ranks as a teacher. She is a young lady of kindly manner and lovabledisposition. She makes friends readily by her pleasing manner and winning waysand holds them by her true worth as a woman.
The groom is one of our very best young men. Every body hereknows "Bert" and everybody here entertains for him not only thegreatest respect and highest esteem but they truly regard him with the kindestfeeling. As a business man his methods are unquestionable. He is curteous,genial and strictly honest. His manner is pleasant. He is frank and outspoken sothat he is never misunderstood. For the greater part of the time he has livedhere he has been in the drug business, working with T.J. Stemets and also in theStratemeyer drug stores. About a year ago he bought the Stemet's drug store andhas since had charge of this business. He enjoys a liberal patronage and isdoing an excellent business. He gives every promise of success in businessaffairs and being a young man of the best of habits, always having shown thehighest regard for womanhood and being fortunate enough to win the heart andhand of the excellent young lady whom he now calls wife, there is every reasonto believe he will make a No. 1 husband.
The Tribune bespeaks for Mr. and Mrs. Hughes a life ofhappiness and prosperity and trusts that the future holds only the best thingsin life in store for them.

MRS. BERT HUGHES DEAD.
She Passed Away Early Sunday Morning.
Early sunday morning our citizens learned with genuine regretof the death of Mrs. Bert Hughes, who passed away shortly after midnight. Shehad a couple of days previously given birth to her first child and was in a veryserious condition. Very little could be done for her, as she was also afflictedwith a large abdominal tumor. The funeral was held Tuesday at 10 o'clock. Asolemn requiem mass was offered up at St. Thomas church by the pastor, Rev. M.McNerney, assisted by Fathers Carroll, of Ayrshire; Kelley, of Graettinger, andMurphy, of Emmetsburg. The following named parties were pall-bearers.
Active - Messrs. Ray Neary, Ray McNally, Robert Laughlin,T.J.Kirby, T.F.Rutledge and J.A.Duffy.
Honorary - Mesdames J.A.Duffy, F. Nedderman, D. Kelly, and E.M.Carney, and Misses Maggie Fries, and Bertha Peterson.
The ushers were J.W. Neary, Joe Laughlin and Thomas Nolan.
The burial was in St. John's cemetery. There was anexceptionally large procession. The members of the Friday Club attended in abody.
Miss Carrie Brennan was born in this community, September 4,1880. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Brennan. She attended the localschools and later took a course in the Iowa State Normal. She taught for severalyears in this county. For some time she held a position in the West Bendschools. She was bright, energetic and tactful and she won well deservedrecognition in her chosen calling. September 25, 1907, she was married to A.R.Hughes. They had a neat, happy home and Mr. Hughes had a business that was suchas to give him marked prestige in our community and to insure his prosperity atan early age in life. Providence bestowed many temporal as well as spiritualblessings upon them and their future seemed brighter and more hopeful than itdoes to most people. But there is no real paradise on earth. There is grief aswell as joy and gladness for each of us. Death comes to separate them when theirhappiness seemed all that could be reasonably desired.
Mrs. Hughes was a Christian lady in all that the words imply.No woman in our community was actuated by higher motives in all that she saidand did.She was prudent and practical and she was tactful. She had at all timesa serious regard for the right and feelings of others. She was humble but shehad, nevertheless, a worthy ambition to do all that self-reliance, becomingdignity and true womanliness required of her. She did not neglect anyresponsibilities that her position in life demanded of her. Thoughts of theeternal always appealed to her and thus guided her in her resolutions and in herdevotion to the duties of childhood teacher, home and society. Her entire lifewas one of lofty aspirations, firm confidence in the efficacy of divinelyinstituted principles, and unafftected Christian fervor. Her death is mourned byher devoted husband, her aged mother, several brothers and sisters and numerousother relatives. All have the sympathy of our many citizens in this great sorrow

His Sufferings Ended Yesterday Morning
James E. Brennan is dead. His sufferings were many and hisrecent misfortunes severe. The end came yesterday morning and the affectionatefather and husband joined the ranks of the many who had gone before him withouta murmur, and happy in the thought that he had at least served his family,friends, community, and state faithfully and to the full extent of the powerthat had been given him to serve them.
The funeral will be held at ten o'clock tomorrow. It will beunder the direction of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, of which he was foryears an earnest, loyal, useful, and deserving member. A wife, son, and sixdaughters survive him. Mrs. Brennan is at present dangerously ill and seriousdoubts are entertained as to her recovery. A son died but a few months ago andnow the fond father is taken from that afflicted home. The aged mother of Mr.Brennan still survives and a large family of brothers and sisters of thedeceased reside in this community. He was 53 years of age. He was a native ofStratford, Ontario, and was for twenty-six years a resident of this county.
Great Oak had no better or no more upright citizen than JamesE. Brennan. There was nothing small, shallow, or vain about him. He was frank,earnest, thoughtful, conscientious, reliable, honorable, and generous. Hismotives were the highest and his devotion to the welfare of his family andneighbors the most unselfish. He was a man of sincerity, of positiveconvictions, and of unwavering, lasting friendship. His word could always bedepended upon and his promise was as valuable, as binding as his bond.

Notes for ELIZABETH BRENNAN:
Emmetsburg Democrat, March, 1897
Laid to Rest Last Friday
Last week brief mention was made in these columns concerningthe death of Mrs. James E. Brennan, of Great Oak township. Her death occurredWednesday morning. The funeral was held Friday forenoon. It was very large.There were 86 teams in the procession. The funeral services were conducted byRev. J. J. Smith and the remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery.
The deceased lived in this county for many years. Two yearsago her husband died. She was quite ill at the time of his death andsubsequently there was little improvement in her condition. During the past fewmonths her recovery seemed beyond all hope and she gradually yielded to theinevitable. She was a quiet, humble woman. Industry, prudence, kindness andChristian-like devotion to the care of home and family, characterized her laborthrough life. The closing years of her earthly journey were saddened bymisfortune and reverses. Although her husband had left her a comfortable homeand had made abundant provision for the family, his death, the death of a grownson, and her own lingering and protracted illness were enough to weigh heavilyon the stoutest heart. One son and six daughters survive. The son and onedaughter are married. The other daughters are at home. The deceased was about 45years of age. Peace to the soul of a good woman.

Death of Ann Mugan
Oldest Jefferson (IA) Resident
End Comes After Very Short Illness at Her Home Last WednesdayBefore Noon.
Mrs. Ann Mugan, resident of Jefferson since the year 1866, ora period of 67 years, died suddenly at her home on North Chestnut Street lastWednesday shortly before the noon hour. She was past 86 years of age, and butfor asthmatic trouble, had been quite well for the most part. She was taken illabout four o'clock Wednesday morning with some difficulty in breathing, and hersons ministered to her, hoping the attack would pass. She grew weaker, however,and passed away about 11:30 o'clock.
The funeral was held Friday morning from St. Joseph's churchwith requiem mass by Rev. Father Zimmerman, after which her mortal remains weretaken to Emmetsburg for burial. The casket bearers were Wm. Dolan, Matt May,Ross Gilliland, Ed McCaffery, L.B. Hendall and F.B. Freund.
Mrs. Mugan is survived by her three sons, M.A. Mugan ofEmmetsburg, Iowa, and D.W. Mugan and T.A. Mugan of this city, a daughter, Lucy,having died in infancy. She is also survived by one brother, Mr. Martin Brennan,and two sisters, Mrs. Dan Sherlock, and Mrs. Cecelia Leahy, all of Emmetsburg.He husband preceded her in death in February, 1928.
Ann Brennan, daughter of James and Catherine Welch Brennan,was born June 8, 1847, between Stratford and St. Mary's County Perth, Ontario,Canada. With her parents and ten brothers and sisters she came to the UnitedStates and Iowa, the family crossing the Mississippi River at Lyons, Iowa, themorning the news came that President Lincoln was shot. The animosities of thefactions flamed forth and the Brennan family secured their first veiw of life inIowa. Ne found friends advised her father to have all the family keep theirmouths shut. Assurance was promptly given that the advice would be followed.
The family took the train from Clinton for Nevada, as far asthe railroad ran, as their destination. Their two cars of emigrant goods werelost by fire set by the locomotive and they landed in Nevada (IA) with littlebut the ability to work. They pushed on to Boonsborough where the boys of thefamily went to chopping ties for the railroad and for lumber. During 1865, therest of the family moved on to Palo Alto county and settled. Then Ann, however,declared that she had gone as far into the wilderness as she was going to go andstayed at Boonsborough and Moingona until June, 1866, when George Cochranbrought her to Jefferson, a dismal trip. The only building they sighted on theway was the Half-Way House near what is now ???(paper torn) run by the lateHorace Ship and his wife. Mrs. S.M. Ship of Jefferson ?????? many of thereturning soldiers from the Civil War and assisted in their case.
In Jefferson she lived with the Cochran and Uncle WilliamAnderson families until she married Thomas F. Mugan on December 30, 1867, afterwhich her husband and herself continued in the restaurant business on the northside of the square for many years and Mrs. Mugan continued in the location untilduring 1911 when she and her sons moved to their present residence in NorthJefferson.
What is probably the earliest Greene County Catholic historyoccurred while she was at the Cochran and Anderson home and hotel. Probably thefirst priest to read mass in Greene County rode from Fort Dodge where he andother missionaries made their headquarters. His mode of conveyance was a donkeyand by being assisted by a farmer he crossed Hardin Creek an came to Jefferson.He requested Mr. Cochran to be premitted.... (can't read rest)

PIONEER OF CITY CALLED AWAY
Patrick R. Jackman Answers
Final Summons Thursday
Morning of Last Week
Though not unexpected the death of P. R. Jackman which occuredat 6:50 Thursday morning, Nov. 3, brought sorrow to a large circle of friends aswell as to the immediate family.
Funeral services were held at St. Thomas' church at 9:30Saturday morning. Rev. M. J. McNerney officiated and celebrated a solemn requiemhigh mass assisted by Very Rev. J. G. Murtagh of the Assumption parish, Rev. J.J. Kelly of Graettinger and Rev. Doyle of Woodstock, Minn.
The pallbearers were the six grandchildren of the deceased,John and Robert Laughlin, John and Leo Schaney and James and William Jackman.
Mr. Jackman had been poorly for years. The infirmity of oldage rendered him helpless. For two weeks it was realized that death might comeat any time. He had been making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Paul Schaney,where he had been given every possible care and attention up to the last momentof his life.
Patrick Jackman was born in the County Kilkenny, Ireland, inMarch, 1836. When he was only eight years of age he was bereft of both fatherand mother. He came to America with his two brothers, Michael and WilliamJackman and a sister, Mary, in 1850. They located near Elgin, Ill., where theyresided for six years. In 1856 he came to Palo Alto county and settled on a farmin Walnut township. He was a member of the original Irish colony of this county.The old log house in which he lived was the first built in the county and nowstands in Harrison Park, a monument to the bravery and courage of these oldsettlers, as well as marking an event in the early history of the county.
Mr. Jackman truly witnessed all of the trials and hardshipscommon to the pioneers. He assisted in suppressing the attacks of the Indians inthese early days. We have heard him relate the story of what was known as theSpirit Lake Massacre many times and this story was a thrilling one.
On September 8, 1868, Mr. Jackman united in marriage with MissMargaret Brennan. The marriage took place at Boonesboro, Iowa. They establishedtheir home on the Walnut farm. Mr. Jackman had erected a new log house for hisbride. It was one of the best and most substantial homes in the county at thattime, and later formed a part of the larger and more commodious home which theybuilt. There was no happier home anywhere than this. Here their children wereborn and raised. Here they bravely met their trials together and togetherenjoyed the better things of life.
Mrs. Jackman died in March 1909. Mr. Jackman continued hisresidence on the old farm until about ten years ago, when he came to Emmetsburgand established his home with his daughter, Mrs. Paul Schaney, where hesubsequently resided.
For seventy-one years he was a citizen of this county. Perhapsno citizen was better known than he. He lived to the age of 91 years. His lifewas marked the whole way with good deeds of generosity, honesty, kindliness andcharity. He loved his fellowmen and wished good to everyone. His motives wereall good. He dealt with everyone fairly and squarely, and with the simplicity ofa child he trusted everyone. Nor was he deceived, for he gave to the world thebest he had and the best came back to him. He provided well for his family, andhis home was one of the most hospitable in the county. His door was open and ahand of welcome was extended to everyone.
Fourteen children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Jackman. Threesons, Joseph, Patrick C. and Francis, of this place and six daughters survivedthem. The daughters are Mrs. Paul Schaney, Mrs. P. F. Conlon, Mrs. Robt.Laughlin of this place, Mrs. Bid Kane of Onawa, Mrs. T. J. Kirby of Sioux Cityand Miss Alice Jackman of Woodstock,Minnesota. They were all with their fatherwhen he died and all were in attendance at his funeral.
They will ever entertain fond memories of their father. Theywill be unable to recall any uncertain actions in his life that will cause themeven a fleeting thought of shame. A gentleman - earnest, dutiful and true, toosincere to hide a fault, too manly to shirk a duty, too honest not to do untoothers as he would have others do unto him, is the image they will retain of theman whom they always found a wise counsellor, a gentle, loving, solicitousfather and friend, as well as a thorough Christian, a loyal citizen and a man ofsterling worth. They will miss him and though he lived to a good ripe old age,they will find many lonely moments when they will keenly regret his death.
To them the Tribune extends sincere sympathy.

The Late Eugene Kane
Funeral Services Held at St. Thomas Church on Monday
The sad accident at Estherville on Friday night in whichEugene Kane lost his life, is reported elsewhere in this issue. The remains werebrought to this city Saturday evening. The funeral was held Monday forenoon.Services were conducted at St. Thomas church, Father McNerny celebrating asolemn requiem mass. He was assisted in the ceremonies by Father Kelly ofGraettinger and Father Farrelly and Father Savage of this city. The burial wasin St. John's cemetery. There was a very large attendance. The pall bearers weresix nephews of the deceased - Leo Schaney, George Kane, Emmet Jackman, andEugene, James and Matthew Kane. The Knights of Columbus attended the funeral ina body and the Elks and U. T. C. were also represented by members.
Mr. Kane was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kane. Hewas born at Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, June 30, 1881. His age was 39. He came toPalo Alto county with his mother and brothers when he was 18 years of age. Hewas united in marriage to Miss Bridget Jackman June 1, 1901. Some time aftertheir marriage they moved to this city, subsequently residing in our community.He kept a billiard hall in the Iowa Opera House block. He was popular andenjoyed a profitable patronage.
Mr. Kane is survived by his wife , one sister, Mrs. JohnHalsbrook, and four brothers - James, Will and John of Emmetsburg and Henry ofOconomowoc, Wisconsin.
The sad tragedy of Friday night has cast a shadow of gloomover the entire community. Mr. Kane was a bright, pleasant, happy, whole souledyoung man. He was genial, obliging and companionable and was always ready togive and take. He was a good judge of human nature and was a successful mixer.He was well acquainted in this and surrounding counties and his staunch friendscould be counted by the hundred. He was a member of the U. C. T., the Elks andthe Knights of Columbus. He was public spirited and he was never backward aboutlending a helping had to every worthy community enterprise. He and Mrs. Kanewere fond of social recreation and they were always prepared to do their part toadd to the enjoyment and the happiness of the many among whom in was their goodfortune to mingle. Mr. Kane's years, his health, his strength and hisopportunities were such that he had much to hope for and much to strive toattain. But the ways of Providence are beyond our comprehension. We may, in ourjudgment, plan discreetly and wisely and with the most painstaking care, but howoften do our most promising anticpations fail to materialize. No one is sure oftomorrow. No person can foresee with certainty what a day may bring. It may bejoy and it may be disappointment and bitter anguish. Our inability to glancebehind the curtain that hides from us the future must be for the best.Providence we are assured makes no mistakes. The infinitely wise, solicitous Godknows better than we do our many needs and he is bound to reward a thousand foldevery sorrow burdened, confiding heart. Mr. Kane's death under anycirc*mstances, would have been sad, but his taking off under the deplorableconditins stated without giving him a moment for reflection, is the cause ofkeen disappointment to his wife and brothers. The heartfelt sympathy of all goesout to them in their great sorrow.

A Verdict For Plaintiff
The Hester - Jackman Damage Case Attracts Much Interest
The damage case of Ambrose Hester vs. John Jackman occupiedthe attention of the court Thursday, Friday and Saturday and attracted a greatdeal of attention. Saturday night the jury was given the case. Afterdeliberating all night an agreement was reached but the verdict was not openedand read until the convening of court Monday morning. It gave the plaintiffdamages to the amount of $100. He sued for $1,000. Early last summer, itappears, Messrs. Hester and Jackman met on the road some distance northwest ofthis city and a rather spirited dispute about the pasturing of some cattle tookplace. Mr. Hester was driving home from the creamery and Mr. Jackman was comingto town on horesback. The latter was accompanied by W. B. Jackson. Mr. Hesterclaims that Mr. Jackman had a large whip in his hand and that he attempted tostrike him with it, but missed him and that his team ran away throwing him outand fracturing one of his legs and otherwise injuring him. He alleges that hewas laid up for several weeks and he sued for damages, loss of time, doctor'sbill, etc. Mr. Jackman denied that he struck at him and claimed that the teamhad on previous occasions run away. He said that he had been trailing the whipand that he simply threw it across his shoulder and that he had no intention ofstriking plaintiff. Mr. Jackson, who was the only outside witness to the affair,swore that he saw Jackman raise the whip and swing it in the direction ofHester, but that he did not see where it struck, but heard a noise as if itstruck the milk cans. Lot Laughlin claimed that he was talking with Jackson thenext day and that the latter denied that Jackman had struck Hester or struck athim. Myles McNally also talked with Jackson and testified to practically thesame as Mr. Laughlin. Mrs. Rogers and her son testified to the injured conditionof Mr. Hester's limb, the son claiming that when he went to the road to whereHester was lying, he heard Hester tell Jackman that he should not have struck athim and that Jackman did not reply. Dr. O'Brien, who attended Hester, swore thatone of the bones of the limb had been fractured about three inches above thejoint. Drs. Powers and Van Gorden, of this city, and Dr. Burdick, ofGraettinger, who examined the limb several months later, claimed that they couldnot find any evidence of a fracture. Dr. Burdick said he was positive that therehad been no fracture, but Dr. Van Gorden would not say this and thought theattending physician ought to know the most about the matter. There were otherwitnesses who testified to minor matters but the above is a synopsis of theprincipal evidence.
Mr. Hester was represented by Davidson & Burt and Mr.Jackman by Kelly & Kelly. Both sides put up a hard fight. The defendant sayshe will appeal to the Supreme Court.

John Jackman Meets With Mishap.
Monday evening while riding a horse, John Jackman met with anaccident that might have cost him his life. He was driving cattle a shortdistance north of Osgood when his horse stepped off the track and fell. Mr.Jackman was thrown beneath the animal. The horse was in such a position that itcould not get up quickly and lunged about considerably before the rider couldrelease himself. Mr. Jackman had his left shoulder bones dislocated. Dr.VanGorden was promptly summoned and succeeded in rendering all the relief thatcould be expected under the circ*mstances. Mr. Jackman was able to come to Dr.VanGorden's office yesterday and was feeling pretty well.

John Jackman Killed When Train Hits Auto
GRAETTINGER BUSINESS MAN CUT DOWN IN PRIME OF LIFE IN TERRIBLECROSSING TRAGEDY
ANTONE GUERDET SEVERELY INJURED
Antone Guerdet, Former Graettinger Man, Severely Injured InThe Accident; Was Taken To His Home In Armstrong; Mr. Jackman Died At ColmanHospital Where He Was Rushed For Treatment
One of the saddest accidents that this community has beencalled upon to bear occurred Wednesday forenoon when a Rock Island passengertrain crashed into the John Jackman auto, injuring him so badly that he diedwithin two hours. Antone Guerdet of Armstrong, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Guerdet,of Crookston, Minnesota, was in the car with him at the time and receivedseveral broken ribs, some minor gashes and cuts and possibly internal injuriesthough he was resting quite easily during the afternoon. Mr. Guerdet was takento his home at Armstrong and Mr. Jackman was carried on the train to Esthervilleand rushed to Colman hospital. He was injured so badly that it was realizednothing could be done for him. His wife and other members of the family werenotified and started immediately for his bed side but he passed away before theyreached him. The accident happened at 11:30. The passenger train that struck theill fated car was the Dows train due into Estherville at 12:16. The accidenthappened at a crossing one half mile east of Armstrong. The crossing is said tobe an unusually dangerous one. The auto road parallels the railroad track forsome distance and a large grove obstructs the view at the crossing. The two menwere riding in an enclosed car and it would be extremely doubtful if theoccupants of the car could hear the warning whistle. Engineer Pat Sullivan andFireman Baske were on the front end and Conductor O'Neill was in charge of thetrain. The engine struck the car on the side of the driver. The vehicle wasthrown back about fifty feet and is a complete wreck. Mr. Jackman was struck onthe left side. His skull was injured and both legs broken. He was partlyconcious until he reached the hospital. Mr. Guerdet was injured as stated abovebut on Wednesday evening the attending physicians were unable to determine howseriously he may have been injured internally. Mr. Jackman died at 1:15, lessthan two hours after the accident. The remains will arrive in Graettinger thisafternoon and the funeral will be held at the Catholic church Saturday morningat ten o'clock.
The report of his death cast a shadow of sorrow and gloom overthe community. The sad news was almost unbelievable coming like like a flash oflightning out of a clear sky. He was one of the most popular citizens ofGraettinger, was known by nearly everyone and was well liked. All hisacquaintances were his friends and his sad and unfortunate death is felt as apersonal sorrow by the people of our community.
The victims of this terrible crossing tragedy were friends andcompanions since boyhood. They resided on neighboring farms in South Walnuttownship when young men. Both were interested in the purchase and sale oflivestock and it was on a business mission of this kind that the two men werebound when the sad accident occurred.
A telephone inquiry to Mrs. Antone Guerdet of Armstrong thisnoon states that Mr. Guerdet is getting along very nicely. He had two ribsbroken, was bruised and cut but will apparently be all right within a few days.The shock to the nervous system was, of course, a severe one and will take timeto recover. He and Mr. Jackman had stopped at the Earnest Smith home, the placewhere the accident occurred. They talked over some business matters and had justleft his place. The railroad crossing was at the end of his grove. As they droveout of his yard Mr. Smith heard the engineer whistle once or twice for thecrossing and he watched the car as he realized the driver would be unable tohear the warning. He was an eyewitness to the tragedy. The engine struck the caron Mr. Jackman's side. The machine was carried ahead a few feet and then thrownclear of the track. Mr. Guerdet was thrown possibly fifty feet from thewreckage. He says that he and Mr. Jackman did not see or hear the train untilthe crash occurred.

Funeral of John Jackman Was Largely Attended
Was Held At Catholic church Saturday Morning At Ten O'Clock;Interment In Parochial Cemetery; Was One Of The Largest Funerals Ever Held InGraettinger
The funeral of John Jackman, mention of whose sad death wasmade in last week's Times, was held Saturday morning. Services were conducted atthe Catholic church at ten o'clock.

The Knights of Columbus, of which Mr. Jackman had been anactive member for many years, accompanied the remains to the church. Fully onehundred members of the order were in line. The side altars and the rear of thecommunion rails were banked with flowers and many floral offerings were inevidence at the home and at the cemetery. Father Kelly preached a scholarly andimpressive sermon on "The Kingdom of Heaven". He paid a beautifultribute to the faith of the man who had met such an unfortunate end. He alsospoke feelingly on his worth to the community, evidenced by the universalexpression of genuine sorrow caused by his death. From the church, the largeprocession wended its way to the Catholic cemetery where all that was mortal ofJohn Jackman were placed in their final resting place. The pall bearers wereFred Spies, V. L. O'Connor, Leo Kolb, William Eagan, Dr. A. J. Joynt and WilliamNolan.
John Jackman was born in South Walnut township April 2, 1882.Hence he was 39 years of age last April. The family made their home on theJackman homestead until the death of his mother some years ago, and his father,Patrick R. Jackman, moved to Emmetsburg to make his future home. The deceasedremained on the old home place for a number of years and was engaged in farming.On June 29, 1916, he was united in marriage to Miss Agnes Spies of this city.Since that time they have made their home in this city with Mr. and Mrs. J. A.Spies. Mr. Jackman owned a number of farms in this vicinity and was activelyengaged in the livestock business. He had good business judgment and heprospered in his various lines of activity. He is survived by his wife, by hisaged father, Patrick R. Jackman of Emmetsburg and six sisters and threebrothers. The sisters are Mrs. Paul Schany, Mrs. Robert Laughlin and Mrs. GeneKane of Emmetsburg; Mrs. P. F. Conlon of Sioux Falls; Mrs. T. J. Kirby of SiouxCity; and Miss Alice Jackman of Worthington. The brothers are Patrick Charlesand Joe Jackman of Emmetsburg and Francis of this locality.
The death of Mr. Jackman removes from our community one of itsmost complimentary and influential citizens. Residing his residence inGraettinger, he had, in his various business activities, acquired a wideacquaintance.
He had the ability to make certain friends and no one in ourcommunity had any wider circle of warm hearted acquaintances than he did. He hada reputation of dealing justly, of absolute honesty, a man whose promise couldbe counted upon. He was a sincere, generous, kind and thoughtful man. He spenthis boyhood years on the family homestead in South Walnut township and grew tohis manhood in this community. Upon reaching years of maturity he engaged infarming for himself, and with his habits of thrift, industry and perseverance heacquired considerable property. He was level headed and far seeing and he hadgood business judgment. With the means at his command, and possessed of a robustand hearty constitution, he had every reason to look forward to many years ofbusiness activity and pleasant social relations among those with whom he mingledand associated. However, an all wise Creator, whose worthy purposes are beyondthe scope of human conception, does all things for the best. Mr. Jackman wasprepared to meet his Creator, he received the last sacraments of the church thatare such a consolation to members of his faith when the hour of deathapproaches. While life is sweet to those of health and strength, yet it is asnothing compared to eternal happiness. Human nature is, at its best, frail andweak, and the snares and pitfalls of temptation are strong. No one knows whatlies ahead of him in a worldly sense or in a spiritual way. No one knows whetherhe will have the strength of will or the grace of God to avoid obstacles in thepathway of life. Hence, many are called at a time when they are best prepared toenter that home of eternal happiness which is the goal of all Christian people.Death at all times is sad but death under such sudden and tragic circ*mstancesis heart-rendering to those who are left to mourn. A week ago John Jackman wasin the prime of life, full of health and vigor, joyfully transacting the affairsof his station in life; today he is sleeping in that silent city of the dead. Itis a change so sudden and so overwhelming that it is difficult to realize. Theheart strings of the community have been touched by sorrow but it is upon thewife, her father and mother and her brothers and sisters who were members of thehappy household, the aged gray haired father, and the affectionate and lovingbrothers and sisters, where the full brunt of sorrow and the pains of anguishand separation will fall. As time brings a keen realization of the tragedy, andsaddened hearts beat in loneliness and sorrow for one who was near and dear,when the hopes, the plans and the happy dreams of the future may have beenshattered; and a silent sorrow descends like the stillness of night, it is thenthat courage, fortitude and patience are virtues to be prized. To those whom*ourn, the heart of the community goes out in sincere and genuine sympathy.

But we are able to gather from her noblereputation, from the tributes of others, and from the reflection of hercharacter in the fine family she left to the world command great admiration fromthe later generation...her capacity for sympathizing with others' troubles andcontributing a helping hand knew no limits.
She was a staunch fortress of motherhood to nine children,devoting years to their care and conscientious upbringing.....
Though most of her sons and daughters live at a distance, allare busily occupied in their personal affairs, the loss of their mother is a sadblow. To them is extended genuine sympathy.

Palo Alto Reporter, March 19, 1903
A Contested School Election
In the Joynt district in Emmetsburg township a lively time washad at the school election. There were two candidates for the position, namely,Mat Murphy, who held the position last year, and Mike Joynt, who desired tosucceed him as sub-director. The election was called to commence at 10:30o'clock and th polls were to hold open for two hours. The polls were not openedat the required time but wre closed at the expiration of two hours after thetime in the call. This only kept them open for forty-five minutes. When thepolls were about to close Murphy protested that they had not been open two hoursand demanded that they should be held open the time required by law. The boarddecided that the call specified the time the polls were to close and soaccordingly they were closed. Murphy had two men on the way to the polls tovote, but when they got there the polls were closed and they were not allowed tovote. The vote stood 8 for Joynt and 6 for Murphy and had the two Murphyadherents who came after the polls closed been allowed to vote the result wouldhave been a tie and under the law Murphy would have held over.
Murphy contested the matter and on Monday the board ofdirectors of Emmetsburg township met in Squire Stuehmer's office in this city toconsider the matter. After consulting with County Attorney F.C. Davidson inregard to the law, the board dedided taht as the polls were not held open tehrequired two hours there had been no election and Mr. Murphy was entitled tohold over. This will take the fight over until the next election

Michael Joynt Dead
________
Expired Suddenly Early Sunday Morning Funeral Tomorrow
Sunday morning the news spread quickly throughout thecommunity that Michael Joynt had died of heart failure during the early morninghours. He became ill early last April while visiting at the home of his son,Joseph Joynt, of Emmetsburg township. It was four or five weeks before he wasstrong enough to return to this city. During the summer months he rallied someand was occasionally able to walk up town but he was greatly annoyed bypalpitation of the heart and he was fearful that he might be taken off suddenly.Saturday evening he visited his brother, Patrick Joynt, who resides on theadjoining block. On returning home, he did not retire until 11 p.m. About 1:30o'clock Mrs. Joynt was aroused and found him in a serious condition. Beforemedical aid could be reached he expired.
The funeral will be held tomorrow forenoon. Services will beconducted at St. Thomas Church. The burial will be in St. John's Cemetery. TheKnights of Columbus and the Ancient Order of Hibernians will attend in body. Hebelonged to both organizations.
Michael Joynt was born at Gort, in the county of Galway,Ireland, in September, 1851. Hence he was 67 years of age. On March 17,1867, hecame to the United States. He witnessed a creditable celebration of the day inNew York City. In a short time he came west. He visited at Pittsburg,Pennsylvania, and later located near Dyersville, Dubuque County, this state. Inthe spring of 1869 he settled in Emmetsburg Township, taking up a homestead.February 19, 1878, he was united in marriage to Miss Bridget Brennan. Mr. andMrs. Joynt made a comfortable home for themselves and became quite prosperous.In February, 1916, they moved into their fine new residence in this city. MrJoynt is survived by his wife, six sons and three daughters. the sons are Dr.M.J. Joynt and Dr. R.J. Joynt of LeMars, Dr. M.F. Joynt of Marcus, Dr. A.J.Joynt of Waterloo and Joseph T. and D.W. Joynt, who live on farms in EmmetsburgTownship. The daughters are Mrs. Leon Dawson of Des Moines and Misses Laura andMildred Joynt who are at home. Mrs. Dawson was , before her marriage, a trainednurse. Mr. Joynt's death is also mourned by his brother, Patrick Joynt, and hissister, Mrs. Walter Keating of this city.
Mr Joynt was one of the pioneers of this section. He broughtto our community the genius, the energy, the industry, the pluck and thesteadfastness that characterized his race and he easily won front rank among themost honored citizens of our county. He had practical education and he wasanxious to help others as well as to promote his own personal interests. Hetaught school in his home neighborhood for several years and made an enviablerecord as a worker in the classroom. Through life he was respected for his keenpower of observation and for his sound and conservative views on publicquestions. He held several official positions in his home township and heperformed satisfactorily and honorably all duties entrusted to him. No one everquestioned his sincerity or his fairness in his dealings with his fellowcitizens. The public found him mild, even tempered, quiet, painstaking andupright. He was never regarded as aggressive. He was, on the contrary, careful,diplomatic, tactful and forebearing. He was, nevertheless, firm in any positionhe took. He was anxious to be fair and just but he would not abase himself toplease those who were unreasonable in their appeals for concessions. His zealfor the welfare of the members of his family was that of the conscientious,anxious, farseeing parent. He knew well the opportunities which would, in thecourse of years, be offered to young men and women of ability, talent, andcharacter and he gave his boys and his girls special educational opportunities,sending several of them to universities. He had the happiness, during his lateyears, to see them take well deserved rank among the professional people of ourstate. We doubt if any other family in Iowa can make a better showing in thisrespect than Mr. and Mrs. Joynt's. He must, of course, have felt a pardonablepride in their attainments but he was too modest to boast of what they hadachieved. He as at all times a Christian gentleman. He believed in moderation.His habits were exemplary and his personal conduct was always edifying. He was adevoted, loyal, citizen of the country of his adoption and he did well his partin aiding in its progress and in its development. It is needless to say that healso yearned anxiously and expectantly during life for the granting of the rightof local self government to the land of his birth. The writer knew Mr. Joyntintimately for over thirty years and, in all of our dealings with him, we foundhim kind, faithful, practical, prompt and reliable. His death is widely andsincerely mourned by all who knew him. The grief stricken wife, the sorrowingsons and daughters and the numerous other relatives have the sincere sympathy ofall in their bereavement.

Notes for CECELIA BRENNAN:
Emmetsburg Tribune, May 9, 1927
Mrs. Dooley Is Dead After Long Illness.
Had Returned From Hospital Following Operation, and WasSeemingly Recovering.
One of the saddest deaths which we have been called upon tochronical for some time is that of Mrs. Robert Dooley, which occurred at herhome in the second ward, at about one o'clock sunday, May 8. She had been illfor a few weeks and had undergone an operation at the local hospital. Shereturned home Thursday and seemed to be improving and gaining strength. Sheplanned upon sitting up Sunday afternoon. A sudden change came, she had asinking spell and lived only a very short time and did not regain consciousness.
Funeral services were held at the Assumption church Tuesdaymorning. Very Rev. J. G. Murtagh officiated. Interment was in St. John'scemetery.
The pallbeareres were Mrs. Dooley's six nephews, Donald andRobert Joynt, Thomas Miller, John Brennan, Joseph Joynt and Douglas Brennan.
Miss Cecilia Brennan was born in Emmetsburg township July 21,1882. She grew to young womanhood on the farm and then came to Emmetsburg withher mother. They established a home and resided together.
She united in marriage with Robert Dooley in this city October23, 1913. Two children were born to this union, a daughter, Mary Cecelia, who isnow over twelve years of age, and a son, Joseph, now about eight years old.
Mr. and Mrs. Dooley bought a home a few blocks east of theAssumption church and resided there for several years. They gave up this homeand went to live with Mrs. Dooley's mother, Mrs. Caroline Brennan, so that Mrs.Dooley could care for her in her declining years and that she might not bealone.
How tenderly she cared for her mother, how kind and devotedshe was to her, none but those who were in close association with the familyever know.
Mrs. Dooley was an exceptionally capable woman. She was anexcellent housekeeper, a good cook and a splendid dressmaker. She could and diddo all of the sewing for the family. She was a devoted wife and mother, alwaysfinding her keenest delight in providing comfort and promoting the happiness ofeach member of the household.
She was a woman of character, a good Christian and a devoutcatholic.
She was companionable and unoffensive, and had many friends.There was a warm affection between her and her brothers and sisters. Her deathis a terrible shock to them.
She is survived by her husband, daughter, son, mother, twosisters and four brothers. The sisters are Mrs. William Pratt and Mrs. DaveJoynt of Emmetsburg township. The brothers are John Brennan of Oakes, N. Dak.,Matthew W. and Frank Brennan of this city and Michael Brennan of Des Moines.
To them all, to other relatives and friends the Tribuneextends sincere sympathy.
The irreparable loss in her immediate home can scarcely berealized. A husband, bowed down under the sorrow of a lost companion; twochildren, who need a mother's guidance, attention, and watchfulness; an agedmother, bereft of the loving care age so much needs - this is the presentpicture of a once exceptionally happy home; with a contented, hopeful family;enjoying each other's companionship and mutual helpfulness, with a vision ofeven brighter and better things in the future.
It all seems cruel and is beyond human understanding. Sympathyof friends is impotent to aleviate this burden of grief. Only Christian hope,and an unwavering faith that the Power which permitted this to happen willprovide adequately and in time all will be well, can sustain the bereaved familynow. This same Power will give strength for the burden until time will adjustthe balance.

Notes for JOSEPH JACKMAN:
From the Emmetsburg Democrat 20 Sep 1899:
Joseph Jackman of Walnut left for Chicago where he will marryMiss Mary Jennings next Tuesday of that city. They will make their residence inthat elegant new residence that the Osgood correspondent has already writtenabout.
JOSEPH JACKMAN DIED AT HOME WEDNESDAY
Following Illness Since September. Funeral To Be HeldTomorrow. Was 70
Years of Age. Born In Walnut Township.
Joseph Jackman, 70, widely known and respected Emmetsburgcitizen and native of Palo Alto county, died at the home of his son-in-law anddaughter, Mr.and Mrs. T. J. Cullen, a short distance northwest of this city,early Wednesday evening. Mr. Jackman had been failing in health since September.At that time he visited the Mayo hospital at Rochester, Minn., but it was foundthat little could be done to restore his usual good health. During the summermonths he enjoyed a trip through the southern states, but when he returned tothis city he complained of ill health.
The funeral will be held in Emmetsburg Saturday morning at 9o'clock. Services will be conducted in the St. Thomas Catholic church. Thesubstitute pastor, Father Keane, will officiate. Interment will be in St. John'scemetery.
The pallbearers chosen are P.C. Jackman, Francis Jackman, PaulSchaney, Charles Spies, all of this city; Thos. Kirby of Sioux City, and RobertLaughlin of Mason City. The Foy Funeral Home of Emmetsburg will be in charge offuneral arrangements.
Jos. Jackman, son of the late Patrick and Margaret BrennanJackman, was born in Walnut township, Palo Alto county, September 5, 1868. Hisparents were among the real old settlers of this section of Iowa. Mr. Jackmanreceived his education in our early day county schools. In 1898 Joseph Jackmanwas united in marriage to Miss Mary Jennings of Chicago. They were married in aCatholic church in that city. Following their marriage they returned toEmmetsburg where for a number of years they engaged in farming on a large scale.In 1916 Mr. Jackman purchased the farmhouse adjoining Emmetsburg on thenorthwest where they have since made their home.
Six sons and daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Jackman. Ason, William, preceded his father and mother in death. The sons and daughterswho survived are Dr. R. J. Jackman, Rochester, Minn.; Dr. James Jackman,Laurens; Sister Mary Hilaire, Cedar Rapids; Mrs. T. J. Cullen, Emmetsburg; Mrs.Frank Spencer, Chicago. Mrs. Jackman passed away in Emmetsburg nearly threeyears ago.

Jackman and Mrs. Paul Schaney, all ofEmmetsburg, Mrs. Bid Kane of Anthon, Iowa, Mrs. Robert Laughlin of Mason City,Mrs. Thos. Kirby of Sioux City, and Miss Alice Jackman, Brownsville, Minn. Thereare also six grandchildren.
In the passing of Jos. Jackman, it can truly be said thatEmmetsburg has lost one of its finest, most honorable citizens. Mr. Jackman wasof such character and disposition that he enjoyed the highest esteem and theconfidence of a wide circle of friends. Jos. Jackman's life was above reproach.His sense of duty and obligation to his Creator were strong, his loyalty to hisown convictions was unwaivering and his loyalty to his friends was staunch. Hewas a gentleman of culture. Mr. Jackman knew well and appreciated keenly thereal values in life. By his own example he pointed the way to true Christianliving. Both he an Mrs. Jackman were among our most respected residents.
They gave their sons and daughters not only the best ofeducational advantages, but they gave them also through their constant guidanceand good example, the rules and incentives for good citizenship.
The Democrat regrets deeply to learn of the death of JosephJackman. We considered him among the finest men it was our privilege to know andto respect. His sons and daughters will long cherish his memory.

Mrs. Jackman was one of the truly exemplary ladies ofEmmetsburg. She was mild of manner, friendly and helpful under allcirc*mstances. Her home was a center of refinement and culture. She was eversolicitous that her children should have the best of educational and otheradvantages. To her husband she was a loyal, constant companion who would sharewith him every burden and rejoice with him in every success. Her dutiful,splendid sons and daughters knew her as a mother whose keen interest in theirwelfare knew no bounds. In her passing not only the bereaved husband and thesorrowing sons and daughters have lost a most self-sacrificing mother and wife,but the community has lost one of its best of women.

Death of Local Pioneer
St. Thomas church was filled to overflowing Wednesday morningfor funeral services for Patrick (Paddy) Charles Jackman, 82, pioneer andprominent Palo Alto county man, who died unexpectedly of an illness at his homein Emmetsburg Sunday morning.
The Rev. C. E. Farrelly, pastor, officiated and paid hightribute to a pioneer whose contribution to the communities in which he lived andSt. Thomas church were great. The many friends at the rites were also evidenceof the high esteem in which Mr. Jackman was held throughout the county as wellas in Emmetsburg.
Active pallbeareres were Bert Ryan, Charles Papadakes, CharlesJ. Spies, Joe Flynn, Lawrence D. Brennan, R.C. Gordon, C.E. Randa, Frank Hoodand Herman Leduc.
Honorary pallbearers were Charles Papadakes, Adolph Spies ofGraettinger, T. F. Kerwick, Edward D. Kelly, George A. Heald, Jr., of Spencer,K. A.Reeves, John B. Kelly, T. R. Martin, Arnold Murray, E. M. Thompson, HenryDuhn, Leo Shea, J. P. Hand, Joe McNamara, D. W. Joynt, V. L. O'Connor and JayMcCarty of Graettinger.
The Knights of Columbus attended the funeral in a body. Burialwas in St.John's cemetery with the Martin Funeral home in charge.
This community was shocked and saddened by the news of thesudden death of Mr. Jackman.
It was not generally known that he had been ill, and althoughailing the last couple of weeks, he had been up and about in the businessdistrict preceding Wednesday. That evening he suffered a relapse,and continuedto fail, the end coming peacefully at 11:15 Sunday morning at his home,surrounded by his pastor and the members of his immediate family.
His death breaks another of the links with the generation ofearly pioneers who settled and developed Palo Alto county, his parents beingamong the original settlers in the Irish colony of Emmetsburg.
He was born in a log cabin in Walnut township, located on thefamily farm on the banks of the Des Moines river. This is the log cabin nowstanding in Harrision Park in Emmetsburg.
Patrick Charles Jackman was the son of the late Patrick R. andMargaret Brennan Jackman, and was born February 12, 1871, one of fourteenchildren.
During his early manhood he worked on the family farm,laterpurchasing a farm east of Graettinger, where he farmed for many years.
In 1904 he married Miss Abbie Carney,and to this union oneson, Emmett C. Jackman of Madelia, Minn., was born. Mrs. Abbie Jackman died in1906. Subsequently, Mr. Jackman moved to Emmetsburg, where he entered into apartnership with Peter E. Jones, devoting the major share of his interest to thelivestock business. Since the dissolution of that partnership, he has devotedhimself to caring for his farm and banking interests.
On Dec. 25, 1915, he married Mrs. Sadie White Fay, whosurvives. Also surviving are the son, Emmett C. Jackman; three sisters, Mrs.Robert Laughlin of Mason City; Mrs. Bridget Kane of Cherokee, and Miss AliceJackman of Jasper, Minn.,and one brother, Francis Jackman of this city. Astep-son, James W. Fay, local attorney, also survives.
Mr. Jackman had many and varied interests. Always keenlyinterested in agriculture, he was one of the organizers of the FarmersCo-operative Creamery in Graettinger.
He was associated with the late J. A. Spies in theorganization of the Bank of Graettinger, and seved as a director for many years.Continuing his interest in the banking business, he again collaborated with Mr.Spies in the formation of the Iowa Trust and Savings Bank of Emmetsburg, andserved as a member of the board of directors until the time of his death.
A devout member of the Catholic church, he served for over 30years as a trustee of St. Thomas Church, and for many years as trustee of theThomas H. Tobin estate. He was a charter member of the Knights of Columbus,joining the Order more than 50 years ago, serving at one time as grand knight.
In the death of "Paddy" Jackman, one of its familiarand beloved figures is taken from the life of Emmetsburg. To know him was toadmire him for his may outstanding qualities of mind and heart. He enjoyed life,he liked people, young and old, and they liked him. His cheery smile and readyIrish wit made his presence welcome in any group. He was one of the mostcharitable of men, both in word and deed. Countless acts of helpfulnness andaid, throughout the years, were by him given to the less fortunate, yet done soquietly that few knew of it. Although financially successful himself, he carednot for artificial living, but was supremely happy in his own home surrounded byhis family and friends. His judgment in business matters were sound and hisintegrity unquestioned. His word his bond. He was rated as an exceptionallyastute judge of livestock, and to the last retained his physical and mentalvigor and was in close contact with his business interests.
With all the changes he had seen in his 82 years of life, hestill remained keenly interested and progressive.
He had mastered the art of growing old gracefully. He died, ashe would have liked, quietly and without burden to anyone. He was one ofpioneers who uncomplainingly endured the countless hardships that life might becarved out for later generations.

Death of Mrs. Patrick Charles Jackman
Mrs. Patrick Charles Jackman died at her home near Graettingerlast Thursday morning after an illness of some duration. The funeral was held atGraettinger Sunday. Services were conducted at the Catholic church at thatplace, Rev. J. J. Kelly officiating. The funeral was one of the largest everwitnessed in that part of the county. The burial was in the parochial cemetery.

M., Frank, and James mourn her loss. E. M. is clerk of thedistrict court. James resides in California. The deceased was widely knownthroughout the county. She had taught school for many years and had frequentlytaken an active and helpful part in local educational gatherings. She waseminently successful in her chosen calling and her worth as a worker in theclassroom was recognized. Something over two years ago she became the happybride of one who had longed cherished her confidence and who, of course, dearlyprized her affections. More congenial surroundings or a more encouraging futureshe could not have anticipated. Their union was blessed with a hardy, prattlingchild. There happiness seemed complete when death's dark messenger entered andtook away the joyous, hopeful mother, leaving the devoted husband disconsolateand the helpless child without that love and that kindness which only the truemother can bestow on the dearest object of her caresses. Mrs. Jackman was apleasant, lively, warm hearted lady. There was no enmity in her nature. Thoughstrongly attached to friends and companions, she would not treat unfairly thosewho did not coincide with her. She was an earnest, tireless worker and herefforts were invariably for the good of the community of which she was a member.She was ever guided in her actions by lofty Christian motives. She was loyal tothe obligations imposed on her by her well defined religious convictions. Thoughcalled away in life's prime from the happy home that was so dear to her, shemust have felt a soothing consolation in the consciousness that she had notfailed to profit by the opportunities that had been given her and that she hadperformed as best she knew how life's most sacred obligations. The husband,child, aged mother, brothers and other relatives have the profound sympathy ofall in their sorrow.

McNerney, pastor of St.Thomas church, officiated, as the bride and groom have lived on the north sidefor many years and are to be among his future parishioners. Mr. Joseph Laughlinattended the groom and Miss Anna Jackman was a bridesmaid. The bride was gownedin cream white Eoelinne over white silk and wore a large picture hat. She acarried a white prayer book. The bridesmaid wore cream white chiffon voile and awhite picture hat. The groom was attired in conventional black as was also thegroomsman. The ceremonies were simple. There was an ordinary nuptial mass. MissMary Laughlin presided at the organ. Master William Kerwick played a violinaccompaniment. Mendelssohn's beautiful wedding march was rendered as the bridalparty entered the church and walked up the aisle. A large number of relativesand friends were present to witness the ceremonies. Soon after the brief rightswere ended, the contracting parties were driven to the home of the bride'sparents, Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Jackman, of Walnut township, where the weddingbreakfast was served.
Only Father McNerney and immediate relatives of the bride andgroom were in attendance, though these are quite numerous. Mr. and Mrs. Laughlinleft on the south-bound Rock Island passenger train for Minneapolis where theywill spend a few days. During their brief stay of two hours at Livermore theywere the guests of Rev.

Jackman, were members of the originalIrish colony that settled but a few miles northwest of the city. The bridetaught school for several terms, after which she accepted the position ofsaleslady in the mercantile establishment of Smith and Benda, continuing in theemploy of Mr. Benda after the firm dissolved. She is prepossessing, judicious,cheerful, and deserves well the high regard entertained for her by the many whohave known her for so long in a business way as well as social affairs.

Young Mother Passes Beyond Thursday
One of the saddest deaths we have been called upon tochronicle is that of Mrs. Francis Jackman, which occurred about 2 a.m. Thursday,November 13. Here a young wife and mother was called from earthly scenes,leaving a heartbroken husband and six children - all young and dependent upon amother's care and guidance. Death came at the birth of a baby boy who did notsurvive his mother. Seldom is anything sadder than was this mother lying in thecasket grasping the hand of the infant son, who lay beside her, and for whom shehad sacrificed her life. Yet, sad as this was, there was something so beautifulabout it that eternal hope was enlivened within the heart and soul of everyonewho gazed upon them. Funeral services were held at St. Thomas church at 10o'clock Saturday morning. Burial was in St. John's Cemetery. The pallbearerswere Len Sherlock, Joe Sherlock, Joe Donahue, Adolph Spies, Bud Phelan, and GeneKane. Miss Eva Murphy, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Murphy ofEmmetsburg township, was born on July 23, 1894. She grew up in this vicinity,graduated from St. Mary's Academy, and taught school successfully for severalyears. She united in marriage with Francis Jackman on January 19, 1915. Thisceremony took place in the Assumption Church in this city. They located on afarm in Walnut township. A beautiful new home was built - one of the finest farmhomes in this county. This with excellent barns and outbuildings of every sortneeded on the farm was an opening to a happy and prosperous life. As years wenton they were as prosperous as was possible for farmers to be under existingconditions and their home was one of the happiest that could be found. Thishusband and wife were loving and companionable. They worked and plannedtogether, sharing each other's sorrows and joys, and in all good time they wereadditionally blessed by a family of beautiful, bright children. Six of these,three boys and three girls, survived their mother. The girls are Jean 12, Mary8, Margaret 5. The boys are Robert 10, John 3, and little Dick, who is only 18months old. Mrs. Jackman was a loveable woman. Her manner was mild, gentle andmost attractive. She had a cheerful disposition, and was kind and pleasant toeveryone. She was a wonderful mother, never failing in the least to do her fullduty as such. Her husband never found her wanting. She was a good housekeeperand loved to make her home an ideally happy one. Her death calls us all again towonder why a Divine Providence should permit a husband and little children to bethus bereaved. Her own life imbued with a lively faith and animated withChristian faith would bid her loved ones to submit and say "Thy Will BeDone". God knows best and never forsakes His children. Time may not tellwhy, but eternity will bring the answer, and all will be compensated. Besidesthe husband and six little children, Mrs. Jackman is survived by her parents,Mr. and Mrs. Dan Murphy, and four brothers, Gene, Earl, Morris and FrancisDonahue. To them the Tribune extends sincere sympathy and trusts that time willsoon soothe their sorrow.

From the Emmetsburg Democrat, Thursday, February 3, 1944:
Lieut. Joseph Finn Dies in Australia; Bomber Cracks Up
Popular Emmetsburg Boy Killed When Four-Engined Plane MakesForced Landing.
Emmetsburg and Palo Alto county residents were shockedWednesday to learn of the death of 1st Lieut. Joseph M. Finn, 22, in a planecrash somewhere in Australia. The message came to his parents Wednesday morningand gave the day of his death as Jan. 26. A letter is expected to follow givingmore details of the crash.
The young lieutenant had been transferred only two weeks agoto Australia and had been given a new type of plane, a 4-engine bomber, he hadwritten his parents Jan. 13. The letter reached them here Monday of this week.He said he had just landed in Australia the day before (Jan. 12) and that theyare "pushing us hard to get back into combat duty". Joe had made his25th bombing mission. His letter also told something of the terrific heat in thedeserts of Australia. "New Guinea was heaven compared to where we arenow," he wrote.
Routine Flight.
The fata accident which took his life was not in combat dutybut apparently in a routine training flight. Ironically enough, Joe had survivedmany tough battles in teh New Guinea area and in other South Pacific zones wherehe had flown combat planes for many months, only to lose his live in anon-combat crash.
Before going overseas, Joe had served as an instructor at WillRogers field, Oklahoma, but he wasn't satisfied and wanted to "goacross" and help "get it over with". He left for the SouthPacific Aug. 19, and the night before he phoned his parents from a western portto tell them goodbye. "We could not hear him so plainly," his mothersaid today, "and he called about 6 in the evening so he would find us allat home and could talk to each of us". He flew from San Francisco on aThursday and reached his overseas destination Monday, he wrote them later.
Popular Youth.
Everyone who knew Joe here, and he had many friends, spoketoday (Thurs.) of what a fine boy he was. Old and young alike were saddened bythe tragic news of his death. "There never was a finer lad than JoeFinn", an elderly man said, "he was quiet and as friendly a boy asyou'd ever meet." And that was the general opinion of the community.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. John Finn who live north ofEmmetsburg, Joe attended the rural schools and graduated from the EmmetsburgHigh school in 1939. He then enrolled in the Emmetsburg junior college where hecompleted a two-year course. He was a popular member of the student body and wasan industrious scholar, cooperative and interested in all the school activities.He enlisted shortly after he left college. During his college course, he alsoworked for the Vaughn Cleaners. Joe would have been 23 years old on Feb. 16.
Brother and Sister in Navy.
Surviving are his parents, three brothers, John, Emmetsburgauctioneer, Dave, a high school student, and Pat, in the navy; two sisters, Nickin the local junior college and Mary, a navy nurse at San Francisco, Cal. Maryphoned her parents Wednesday night after the Red Cross had located her with thenews of her brother's death. She expects to go overseas in about a week.
The sincere sympathy of the community is offered the Finnfamily in teh loss of their son and brothers.
From the Emmetsburg Democrat, Thursday, Feb 10, 1944:
Services Held Here For Lieut. Joe Finn
Taps sounded for Lieut. Joseph T. Finn here Tuesday morningfollowing impressive memorial services at St. Thomas Catholic church for thepopular Emmetsburg boy who lost his life in an Australian plane crash Jan. 26.
Business houses in Emmetsburg closed during the services andthe church was filled to capacity, with many standing in the rear, to honor thememory of the young officer, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Finn of Emmetsburg. Altarsof the church were draped in purple, the emblem of mourning, and the first goldstar appeared on the parish service flag of 114 stars, which with an Americanflag stood at either side of the main altar.
Requiem Mass.
The requiem mass was said by the Rev. Edward Vollmer, with theVery Rev. W.F. Mason, the Rev. J.J. Keane of Estherville, and the Rev. LeoBerger of Sibley present in the sanctuary.
An escort of American Legion and V.F.W. members marched to thefront of the church following Lieut. Finn's family. Legionnaire Phil Bough, ascommander of the firing squad, Jack Higley as chaplain and Buford Henry as colorbearer were among the escort. Legion Commander Joe Passell was in charge of thegroup, and two soldiers home on furlough, Cpl. Fritz Gilman and Duane Moses,also were in the escort unit.
Father Vollmer paid tribute to the young service man and hisparents in a most impressive and appealing sermon, using as his text: "I amthe resurrection and the life; he shall be dead, shall live." JohnXI:25,26. He gave an explanation of the mass and quoted the well-known phrase ofSt. Paul: "It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead."The consolation that prayer offers, when death has taken a loved one, is awonderful thing, the priest pointed out, and is a plea to God on behalf of thosewho no longer can help themselves.
The real heroes of any war, Father Vollmer said, are theparents, especially the mothers who "die a thousand deaths" fromanxiety, loneliness and heartache when their sons are called. "They are theunsung martyrs who must go on living and suffering, after their boys have madethe supreme sacrifice." He reminded them of Mary, the mother of Christ, whosaw her Son die on the Cross, and who carried on, despite a broken heart.
Referring to Lieut. Finn, the pastor quoted from St. Johnagain: "Greater love than this no man hath, that he lay down his life forhis friends." Our boys in the service of their country sacrificeeverything, even their lives, that we may enjoy our rights of freedom andliberty, hence we who are living in safety and comfort should never begrudge ourlot, Father Vollmer continued.
Military Escort.
At the conclusion of he services, the military escort formedtwo lines outside the church while the Finn family walked down the steps betweenthe formation. The choir sang teh novena hymn for peace, the words, "Helpour soldier sons at war, give them courage, prudence and grace if they die"seeming particularly appropriate.
Chaplain Higley read the Legion prayer and Commander Passellgave the memorial ritual for departed comrades. Then the military escortpresented arms as Dick Frost, trumpeter, sounded taps. In the distance ananswering taps echoed, sounded by S.J. Brownlee. Both boys are local high schoolstudents. This concluded the memorial ceremony.
It must have been a source of comfort to Joe's parents to knowthat their son was given every honor and tribute possible as his friends,numbering in the hundreds, paid their last respects to a neighbor boy who madethe supreme sacrifice

Death of Regina Joynt
Dec. 3, 1914 -Jesup, Buchanan Co, Iowa
The people of this community were very much surprised when onThanksgiving afternoon at fur oclock it was announced that Regina Joynt haddied.
The surprise was greater as many of our people had seen andspoken to her on the streets only thirty-six hours before the report of herdeath.
On Wednesday morning as usual, Regina prepared and went toschool but after being in the school room one hour her teacher discovered shewas not well and advised her to go home, which she at once did, and on herarrival home retired to bed and remained there till she was called in death onthe following afternoon.
On Thursday morning doctors from Waterloo and Independenceheld a consultation and learned that her case was a very serious one, and thatit was doubtful if she would live throughout the day.
Regina Margaret Joynt was born in Jesup on July 22, 1908, andwas the only child of Dr. and Mrs. M.J. Joynt.
She was a lovely child and on account of her pleasing ways wassought in companionship by old and young. She will be sadly missed by herparents, especially by her mother, who in times of solitude, forgetful of thechilds death, will listen for her little footsteps at the time she should comehome.
The leaves falling gently while she passed away as if naturehad in preparation a bed of down to rest the body of the dear child.
Death takes her in the season when nature slumbers afterexhausting her forces to fill the granaries of the world.
It is sad. Yet to yield to the cry of the heart and wish herback were to doubt the wisdom and providence of the Creator. So there isresignation to the decree of God and serenity and peace induced by the knowledgethat her short life was a pure one, a kin to the redeemer whom she just began toserve.
The funeral was held at the Catholic Church Saturday morningat 10 oclock, the pastor, Rev. Father Horsfield, officiating. The auditoriumof the church was taxed to the limit. The beautiful floral gifts bore muteevidence of the love so many felt for her. During the services S. Murray ofDubuque sang. Interment was in Athansius cemetery. Out of town relatives andfriends who were here to attend the funeral Mr. and Mrs. Michael Joynt, Josephand William, the Misses Laura and Mildred Joynt, Mrs. Leahy and Daniel Sherlock,all of Emmetsburg; Miss Gertrude Joynt of Des Moines; Dr. Albert Joynt,Waterloo; Dr. and Mrs. Robert Joynt, Marcus; Mrs. and Mrs. Magnus Rooney and C.Considine, Dubuque; Dr. and Mrs. Nestor, Waterloo; Dr. and Mrs. Lester,Manchester.

Notes for ALBERT JOYNT:
From the Emmetsburg Democrat, 26 Aug 1914:
Dr. Bert Joynt is Home From Northern Germany
Was Hungry in London and Found Shores in Greenland Very Cool
Dr. Bert Joynt arrived home from Vienna, Austria, Ghrusdaymorning. He left for that place in January to take a post graduate course inspecial surgery. He left there June 30 and went to Konigsberg, which is situatedclose to the Baltic Sea and not far from the Russian border. He decided afterwar was declared to remain in the hospital in which he was takin his courseuntil the close of hostilities, but he discovered that the cost of living wasadvancing so rapidly that he could not afford to stay. Saturday morning, August1, he paid the usual price for his breakfast at the place where he was stopping,but in the evening he was charged five times the amount for his supper. He andhis companion, who was also a student, concluded that they would take the firsttrain to Berlin, but they could not secure tickets. However, three extras wereleaving some time later and they managed to come away. The train ahead of tehmwas wrecked by a Russian who threw a bomb under the bridge over which it waspassing. The offender, was, of course, promptly taken in charge by the militaryauthorities. The train on which Dr. Joynt came had soldiers in each car and onthe footboards around the car. The windows were closed, the lights turned downand the passengers forbidden to look out. Dr. Joynt says he did not care to askany questions and was willing to obey all instructions to the letter. Militarydiscipline in Germany is very strict.
Berlin was reached at 1:30 Sunday afternoon, but the Doctorand his friend could not secure their passports or tickets until 11:00 o'clockMonday. However, they did not have any delay or difficulty in identifyingthemselves as American citizens. They found 10,000 Americans in the city whowere anxious to come away. They walked from the depot to the place where thetrain was making up and they managed to get seats before the rush. They thinkthe train they came on was the last one out. A large number of people were leftbehind.
Flushing, Holland, was reached the following morning at eighto'clock. While there both gentlemen's passports were demanded several times.People seemed alarmed and it was impossible to find anyone who would carrytrunks or other luggage. The Doctor and his friend had to walk quite a longdistance and they were frequently stopped by soldiers, who inspected theirgrips. Tuesday forenoon at eleven o'clock a steamer left for London. For sometime before their departure they were roped in on the docks and were not allowedto leave. They reached Folkstone, England, at six o'clock Tuesday evening andLondon about nine o'clock. They had in their possession $385 in German money,$100 in American currency, and two shilings and six pence in Englishdenominations. All the cash was paper except 6 pence. The banks were closed andthey could not make any exchange. They put up at a hotel, but the followingmorning the German and American money would not be taken in payment of theirbill. They could not secure breakfast and they had two pence between them. Theybought a bun and a doughnut and ate them in an alley. They had to leave theirgrips at the hotel as security for their lodging. Their bill for supper and bedswas 34 shillings , which was something over $8. Wednesday night they thoughtthey would have to sleep in the public park, but they went to a small boardinghouse where the landlady said she would trust them until they could change theirmoney for English currency. They secured a small room and both occupied anarrow, poor bed. They were glad to get it. The next forenoon they bought a cupof coffee. They did not have enough cash to invest in a daily newspaper, butthey secured one that another gentleman had finished reading. In glancingthrough it they noticed an item stating that Americans were being cared for atthe Savory hotel. They located the house and registered, but they could notobtain any information that was satisfactory. They went to the American embassyduring the afternoon where they deposited 100 marks for two pounds of Englishmoney. This was quite an accommodation. When they return the amount they willget back their German currency.
During the evening they learned that an American gentleman,who was formerly connected with the Pennsylvania system, but who is now managerof the Great Eastern Railway company was changing money for Americans in orderto help them out for a short time. Dr. Joynt's companion approached him andswapped $20 for four pounds of the standard of the English realm. He told thegentleman that he had also a friend in need and he was given twice the amountusually allowed to single individuals. Later Dr. Joynt went in to see him, butdid not tell him that he was one of the parties who had been accommodated. Hefinally succeeded in exchanging $10 for 2 pounds of English money.
He and his companion next went to the offices of the Conard,the White Star and the Red Star lines. They offered to work for their passage toNew York or Quebec, but they were told that a number of ship crews had beendischarged and that there were not any jobs for passengers. Thursday they foundthat they could secure steerage berths on the Allen lines, which belongs to theCanadian Pacific railroad company. They were told to take them quick as otherswere rapidly applying for accommodations. They paid down a pound each. Laterthey managed to exchange a few American bills for English currency. They thenhad enough each to bring them to Quebec. During the evening they started forLiverpool where they met Dr. White of Clinton, Iowa, a friend, whom they knew inVienna. He loaned them 10 pounds each. With this amount they felt they couldreturn home from Quebec.
They left Liverpool Saturday evening at eight o'clock on thesteamer Virginian. It was the third boat that had started from the harbor thatevening. The boats were sailing about two hours apart. The other two vesselswere the Teutonic and Lucona. The Virginian came over the north route passingquite a distance north of Ireland. The passengers were told while on the voyagethat the captain of their vessel was sailing under sealed orders. He opened themat various places and received wireless messges directing him about the courseof his voyage. It seems that an English cruiser was following closely so as toguard against attack by hostile vessels. At one time the Virginian was close tothe coast of Greenland. Thursday and Friday after leaving Liverpool the weatherbecame very cold. The ocean spray froze when it fell on the deck of the vessel.While on the voyage the pasengers saw scores of large icebergs. At times theypassed through heavy fogs. The accommodations were very poor. The Doctor and hiscompanion, however, climbed regularly to the upper deck where they were allowedto remain most of the days and evenings. The officers of the vessel knowing thecirc*mstances were not very strict in enforcing the rules. While on the tripthey had to sleep on ordinary shelves. Their bedding consisted of some coarseexcelsior, over which was spread Irish linen cloth. It was as stiff as harvetcanvass. Their bedding was so hard that their ears, the sides of their faces andtheir heels became sore. There were 1500 persons on the boat, including thepassengers and the members of the crew.
The vessel reached Quebec on Sunday evening. The trip was madein eight days. On landing they were treated like the ordinary emigrants. Anemigrant train hauled them to Montreal. They arrived in that city Tuesdaymorning. From there they came directly to Chicago.
Dr. Joynt says the English people are very bitter against theGermans and that the Germans are more hostile toward the Russians than theEnglish. He thinks the Germans have a great army. The Austrian army is large butthe soldiers do not compare with those of the kaiser. While at Konigsberg he sawfrom four to five airships going up daily. an raising towards the Russianfrontier. He considers them useful chiefly for observation purposes. Still, hethinks the French air craft is the best in Europe. He did not see any of theregular soldiers in England or in France, but he was told that the French have avery capable land force. The English fleet is, of course, superior to anythingin the world. The Germans are intensely loyal to the kaiser. Many of them wouldgo to extremes to serve him. The German people think the kaiser's oldest son,the crown prince, is more responsible for the war than is the emperor.
Prince Ferdinand, of Austria, who was killed in Servia [sic],was considered a deserving man. Still, the Austrians did not seem to be veryindignant over his death. Dr. Joynt does not care very much for the Austrianpeople. They do not compare with the Germans, Belgians or English. ....

Sunday's Sioux City Journal contained the following writeup ofDonald Joynt, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Joynt, who is attending college atLoretta, Pa.:
"Donald Joynt, captain of last year's undefeated Trinitycollege team, playing with another eleven this season which is enjoying the samesuccess as the Trinity squad had last year.
"Joynt, who is playing halfback position on the St.Francis college team in Loretto, Pa., is being mentioned in the eastern papersas one of the outstanding players on the St. Francis team and is said to beplaying his usual hard game which is well known to all followers of the Trinityteam last year. The former Trinity captain is given praise for his defensivework in preventing the opponents of the St. Francis team from scoring and isresponsible in many instances for touchdowns of the St. Francis eleven.
"Coming from Emmetsburg,Iowa, where he played on the St.Mary's Academy eleven while in high school, Joynt played with the Trinity teamfor several years. Last year as captain, he led his men through a season inwhich they neither lost a game nor were scored on."
The teams Donald has played with have not been scored on fortwo seasons. A later communication from Mr. Joynt states that his team defeatedBeckley college last Friday, 32 to 0. This makes the thirteenth successivevictory for the teams on which Donald has played. On next Friday St. Franciswill meet Duquesne college in the Johnstown, Pa., stadium. This promises to beone of Donald's biggest games.

Notes for TERENCE BRENNAN:
Headline: BRENNANS LONG A GRID FAMILY
This is a yarn about the Brennans, who have been closelyidentified with football since the days of the five-point touchdown. A friendfrom Livermore passed it along to me.
We had been discussing Terry Brennan, the Notre Dame halfback,who had run the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown against Army.
"An interesting coincidence," my friend suggested,"is that Terry Brennan's father once ran 90 yards for a touchdown againstNotre Dame. He played with Marquette.
"Yes," he reminsced, "his father was born andraised in Emmetsburg. In fact Terry's grandfather was town marshal in Emmetsburgfor many years.
"I remember the day Terry's father scored the touchdownthat gave Marquette a tie with Notre Dame. I think it was in 1911.
"Old Martin heard the news up in Emmetsburg and wasjustly proud. That night as he made his rounds as marshal, he visited with oneand all.
" 'Did you hear about young Martin?' he'd inquire. 'Heran 90 rods for a touchdown against Notre Dame.' "
A true Iowan was old Martin. But 90 rods equals 495 yards.
* * * * * *
In South Bend Saturday night, after the Notre Dame-Tulanegame, I met Martin
Brennan, Jr., father of Notre Dame's Terry. Mr Brennanpractices law in
Milwaukee.
I mentioned the story, as it had been told to me, and askedhim if it was
accurate.
"Not quite," he replied. " I scored thetouchdown that tied Notre Dame,
but I didn't run 90 yards.
"Dad was quite a man," Mr Brennan said.
Somebody asked him one time what he thought of football.
" 'Bah,' he answered. 'Tis like throwing one ear of cornto 22 hogs.' "
