Ellen Finnegan...Mrs. Ellen Finnegan, wife of Michael Finnegan, passed away this morning
at 1:30 o'clock at the family residence, 2234 Main street. She had been ill with
catarrhal fever for a week, but the immediate cause of death was heart trouble. Mrs.
Finnegan was 81 years old and was born in County Tipperary, Ireland. The early part of
her life was spent in Ohio, but she had lived in Indiana for fifty years. She came to
Lafayette twelve years ago. She leaves a husband and four children, all of whom were at
her besdide when the end came. The children are Mrs. Jacob Schick, of this city; Michael
Finnegan, of St. Louis, John Finnegan, of Fickle, and Luke Finnegan, of Indianapolis.
Mrs. Finnegan was one of the oldest members of St. Mary's church and her religion was
exemplified by her daily life. She was a true wife, an affectionate and indulgent mother
and was a kind friend. She had a wide acquaintance and was held in high esteem by all who
knew her.---Lafayette Jo!
