Died at his home in Graham township, Johnson county, Iowa, on Saturday, Sept.
29th, 1894, James Galvin, age 77 years. Mr. Galvin was one of the oldest
settlers of this township, coming here when the county was almost a wilderness
and working early and late to make for himself and family a home to be his
comfort in his declining years. He was an honest man in the full sense and was
highly respected by all who knew him. The funeral occurred on Monday, Oct. 1st.
and was attended by a very large concourse of people. The remains were taken to
the Catholic churchy in Nolan settlement where Rev. Father Mahoney offered up
the sacrifice for the repose of his soul. The Rev. Father delivered a very fine
eulogy on the life of Mr. Galvin and in his discourse he told of the promptitude
and liberality, of the deceased when last summer the Rev. Father was soliciting
funds for the erection of the new church now nearing completion but which it was
not God's will to let him live to see finished, after the last sad rites had
been performed all that remained of Mr. James Galvin was lowered in a grave in
the family lot in the grave at Nolan settlement, here to rest till the judgment
day. He leaves a wife and four daughters and one son and a host of friends to
mourn his demise. To his wife and family we offer our heartfelt sympathy in
their affliction. May his soul rest in peace.
