JOHN HENRY HORISKEY
---
John Horiskey, one of O’Neill’s best
known and best loved citizens, died
at his home in this city Sunday eve
ning at 8:30 o’clock of a heart attack
with which he had been stricken less
than an hour before, He had suff
; ered a similar attack about a year ago,
| before which he had been in almost
' perfect health from which he appar
ently had suffered no serious ill ef
fects. Mr. Horiskey would hane been
77 years old on November 22. He was
born at New Ixmdon, Connecticut,
and at the age of ten years removed
from there with his parents to Elkader
Clayton County, Iowa, where he grew
to manhood and where on February
17, il873, he was married to Kathryn
Kennedy. Mrs. Horiskey passed away
several years ago. Of their nine child
ren two died in infancy and Joseph C.
last year. Those surviving are Mary
C„ Michael H., Walter and Dorothy at
home and John C. of Cody, Wyoming,
and Mrs. W. H. Miller of Salina, Kan
sas. One sister, Mrs. Margaret Har
ley, now with her daughter, Mrs. Thos.
Hopkins of Osage, Wyoming, also sur
vives him.
John Horiskey was one of the real
pioneers of Holt County. He came to
the county in 1879 by covered wagon
and filed on a homestead about 11
miles northeast of O’Neill. He return
ed to Iowa late in the same year and
came back to Holt county with his
young family in .the spring of 1880,
again making the trip In a covered
wagon. The family lived on the home
stead undergoing the hardships and
vicissitudes of pioneer life until the
great blizzard of 1888 which practi
cally wiped out all of their posses
sions, after which they moved to
O’Neill which has been the family
residence since.
John Horiskey was truly one of
O’Neill’s best loved citizens. He was
a man’s man, a young man’s man and
a children’s man. Whom the children
love is good, and the children loved
him. He was well read, as active
mentally as any ^young man, lived in
the pesent instead of the past and
was possessed of a keen wit, a true
sense of humor and a big heart which
made his presence agreeable and de
sired wherever men were assembled
together. He was a raconteur of rare
ability. His stories' of the pioneer
days and his account of the first kero
sene lamp that came to Iowa were
vivid portrayals and classics of hu
mor. One lived them as he recounted
them. He was about the streets un
til a short time before his sudden and
fatal illness. Hearts tightened and
there was sadness when word came
that John Henry Horiskey was dead.
It still is hard to realize that he is
gone. He will be missed and his mem
ory long cherished by those who knew
him.
The funeral services were held on
Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock, from
St. Patrick’s church, the Reverend M.
J. Brady celebrating the Requiem
Mass and delivering the sermon. Bur
ial was in Calvary Cemetery. All of
the children were present at the fun
eral service, and also John W. Horis
key of Orchard, a nephew, and Miss
Kathryn O’Connor of Lyons, Nebras
ka, a niece.
