MISS NELLIE CAHILL
JANUARY 4, 1895
After a protracted illness, Miss Nellie Cahill passed to her eternal rest Friday night ,
December twenty-eight, at eleven o'clock. Miss Cahill had been an invalid with the
dread disease of consumption, for seven years, and though she fully realized that she
could never regain her health she was always cheerful. During her years of suffering she
made friends of all who met her by her bright and happy disposition, and none knew her but
to love her.
Deceased was born in Peoria county, Illinois, December 15, 1854, and had lived almost all
her life in the city of Peoria, where she conducted a dress-making establishment until her
health failed. Four years ago she came to her parents home here, where she spent the
remaining days of her life. Besides her aged parents she leaves three sisters and two
brothers to mourn her loss.
The funeral services were held from the SS. Peter and Paul's church Monday morning at
nine o'clock, Rev. Rather Quinn celebrating requiem high mass, and the remains were
laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery.
