Funeral Saturday
Mrs. Joseph Hyland Passed Away at Home in Brookside Thursday

Mrs. Joseph Hyland, an old and highly respected resident of Brookside, passed away at 3:00 last Thursday morning of heart failure, aged 72 years.

Deceased had been under the doctor’s care the last eight months and seemed to be getting better until about four weeks ago when she had a bad spell. She rallied from that however and so far recovered that she was able to visit her daughter, Mrs. Frank House, in this city, two weeks before her death. A few days later she had another attack from which she never regained her strength although she was able to sit up just a few days before her departure, which came very peacefully.

Deceased whose maiden name was Mary Dougherty, was born in Ireland Oct. 10 1836 and came to this country when 14 years of age, with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Doughtery, who settled in Canada. A few years later she married Joseph Hyland. After leaving Canada they resided in New York city for some time, coming to Oconto County 38 years ago making Brookside their home.

Deceased is survived by her husband, five sons, John of Spruce, Joseph, Thomas, Patrick and Abraham, of Brookside, and two daughters, Miss Johanna of San Diego, Cal., and Mrs. Frank House of this city. All were present at the funeral except Miss Hyland.

The funeral was held at 10:00 Saturday morning from Little Suamico Catholic church, with internment in Brookside cemetery.
