Death of J.J. Farley
John J. Farley, died very suddenly last night at 9:50 o'clock at Ravia, I.T., from congestion of the stomach.  Mr. Farley left Denison yesterday morning to go to Roff, I.T. on business and was apparently in the best of health when he left the city.  He finished his business at Roff and started to return home on the Frisco local.  He arrived at Ravia at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and went with the train crew to the Grand Avenue hotel for dinner, saying that he had drank a glass of lemonade at Roff and was not feeling well.  He asked for a glass of warm water and drank it.  He then strolled down the street but in a few minutes he returned to the hotel and asked for a room, saying he was feeling very ill, but was subject to attacks of stomach trouble and would probably recover in a few hours.  He instructed the hotel-keeper to wire his wife and the K. of P. lodge in this city of his sickness.   A physician was summoned to his bedside, but he grew rapidly worse and died a t 9:50 o'clock.  Mrs. Farley and friends of the deceased in this city were at once notified of the sad occurrence and John L. Higginson went to Ravia early this morning and accompanied the remains to Denison.  The body arrived over the Frisco at 11:15 and was taken to Halton's undertaking parlors and later to the late residence of deceased, No. 231 W. Morton street. - - --Denison Herald

JACK FARLEY DEAD
It was a painful surprise to many friends to learn that Jack Farley was dead.  Mr. Farley died at Ravia Thursday.  He took a drink of hot water which produced congestion, and in a very few minutes death.
He came here, to the best of the writer's recollection, about 25 years ago.  He was for a long period in the service of the Katy as fireman and engineer.  He met with an accident which deprived him of his right hand.  This was about 10 years ago.  He then went into the accident insurance business, and was very successful in railway circles, in fact, he was one of the most popular railway men that ever lived in Denison.
Jack was a rustler and in nearly every political campaign was a conspicuous figure.  He possessed an aggressive personality. His death removed another old-timer.  So many are slipping away to the silent shore.   Mr. Farley had been married a number of years and leaves a wife to mourn his loss.
The deceased was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was about 40 years of age at the time of his death.  He was a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and also of the Knights of Pythias.  The time and place of burial has not yet been designated.  A message has been sent to his relatives at Philadelphia.

CONDENSED HOME NEWS
Jack Farley was buried Sunday from the Catholic church.

Editor's Note:  Jack's widow, Eva, moved to Dallas and became a police matron in February 1906.  This Dallas Morning News article says she started there in 1906, working over a period of 6 years.  Her headquarters were maintained at the old calaboose; she had charge of all female prisoners.  Her rank was "Captain" and she had all the powers of a regular police officer
She was eventually commissioned as the nation's first woman in Texas to hold a police commission. When she was in her late 40s or early 50s (depending on which source you believe for her birth year), she married John G. Huber, a wealthy Muskogee man. They moved to Los Angeles, where he died in 1940 and she in 1943. They are buried in the same cemetery out there. Eva has an impressive FG memorial.
