Funeral services were held today at 10 am from St. Josephs Catholic Church, with Fr. L.C. Becker officiating for Mrs. Katherine Mulvaney, who passed away Tuesday, April 5 at St. Mary's hospital, Milwaukee.

On March 22, Mrs. Mulvaney slipped and fell to the kitchen floor at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Thomas Nolan, 2544 N. Farrell St., Milwaukee, where she had been living for several years, and sustained a severe fracture of the hip. She was taken to the hospital where she succumbed two weeks later to an illness which developed from her unfortunate accident. Mrs. Mulvaney was 91 years of age at the time of her death.

The body was brought to the L.A. Heuer funeral home in Clintonville and on Thursday was brought to the Gagnon's funeral home in this city. Interment was made in the Catholic cemetery.

Many of the older residents of Oconto will remember Mrs. Mulvaney for she was a resident of this city for over a period of 47 years. Born in Cedarburg on October 19, 1847, she came to this city following her marriage to Bernard Mulvaney, Sr., in 1870. The Mulvaneys were among the early settlers of Oconto. Mr. Mulvaney passed away on October 6, 1906, but Mrs. Mulvaney continued to live in this city until in 1917 when she went to Milwaukee to make her home with her son, Bernard, Jr.

She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Thomas Nolan and Miss Laura Mulvaney, both of Milwaukee; three sons, Bernard Mulvaney, Jr., of Clintonville, James Mulvaney of Milwaukee, Dr. F.M. Mulvaney of Marion, and one sister, Mrs. Eliza Walsh of the town of Oconto.
