Died At His Post of Duty
This community was deeply touched
Sunday morning last upon learning of
the sudden and tragic death of Engineer
James V OConneJl the previous night
under touching aud unusual circum
stances
Deceased had been called to go on
passenger train No 14 for St Louis
and although not feeling well responded
and started out of the McCook station
on the journey Before reaching the east
yard limit however he was stricken
down with an attack of heart disease
and literally died at his post of duty
Fireman R F Lowmari backed the train
into the station and a now crew was
provided tho engine the train in due
time resuming its journey
It was not known that the departed
was afflicted with a serious heart
trouble indeed Engineer OConnell was
a retiring quiet unassuming uncom
plaining man and perhaps his nearest
and dearest had no idea of the serious
ness of bis malady although it has been
known by some that he suffered some
what with h i s heart on occasions
Hence his death under the pathetic cir
cumstances came as a stroko of light
ning from a clear sky
Engineer OConnell came to McCook
in 1888 the time of the Reading and
Burlington strikes and during the six
teen years of his residence in our city
has had the esteem of all both in and
outside of railroad circles He had the
friendship of his fellow railroad men
and stood high in the regard of his su
periors as an efficient dependable engi
neer
Ho leaves an invalid wife and nine
children most of them small They
have the deepest sympathy of this whole
community in this sudden though
peaceful death of a devoted husband
and father
The funeral was held on Thursday
morning in Si Patricks church Rev
J J Loughran conducting the solemn
requiem mass The church was crowded
with sympathizing citizens Many beau
tiful floral offerings from individuals
and orders were in charming evidence
Interment followed in the Calvary ceme
tery of this city
A sister of the deceased accompanied
the daughter Sadie home from Phila
delphia both arriving on Wednesday
and in time to attend the funeral
Deceased carried 2000 in the A O
U W and 81250 in the Burlington
Voluntary Relief
He also carried 150 in a Philadelphia
burial association
James V OConnell son o f late
Thomas and Sarah OConnell was born
in County Derry Ireland June 15th
1855 He came to America when a child
living in Pore Richmond Philadelphia
Pennsylvania until the year 1888 when
herooved to McCook where he resided
until me aay 01 nis aeaui uctooeriotn
1904 Deceased was united in marriage
to Mary A Cassidy in 1879 Eleven
children were born to them nineof them
surviving together with an invalid wife
Departed had four sisters aud three
brothers all of the sisters and two of the
brothers surviving
