Dwyer, Mrs. John Sr. (JUN 1822 - 22 JAN 1890)

Mrs. John Dwyer, Sr., mother of ex-Sheriff John Dwyer, died at her home in the town of York, Clark County, suddenly last Wednesday night. She was taken sick Sunday with Pneumonia, which resulted in her death.

Mrs. Dwyer had been a remarkably healthy woman, knowing but little sickness before that which terminated fatally. She would have been 68 years old in June next. She was a woman beloved by all who knew her, and in her neighborhood none was respected more than grandma Dwyer. She was mother of six children, five now living, John, Frank, Mrs. Wm. Farning, Mrs. F. O. Northrup, Mrs. Thos. Murray and Mrs. Geo. Castner. Mrs. Castner died nine years ago.

The deceased and her husband came to this county in 1858 or 1859. Mr. Dwyer, who died some years ago, engaged in the logging business, accumulating considerable property, the Dwyer farms in the town of York being some of the finest in Clark County.

The funeral will be held today at 10 o'clock, at the Catholic Church, and the remains will be laid to rest by the side of those of her husband, in the Neillsville Cemetery.
