Emmetsburg Democrat, July 8, 1948

Services Held For Mrs. Paul Schany, 75

Funeral services were held Monday, July 5 at St. Thomas church for Mrs.
Paul Schany, 75, with the Rev. Clarence Farrelly officiating. Mrs. Schany
died at her home Friday evening, July 2, following a severe stroke.

Pallbearers were William Paul Schany, Robert L. Schany, John J. Schany,
Richard L. Schany (all grandsons), Emmet C. Jackman and John D. Jackman,
both nephews of Mrs. Schany.

Burial was in St. John's cemetery, with the Martin Funeral home in charge
of arrangements.

Mary Ellen Jackman was born July 20, 1873 in Emmetsburg. She was the daughter
of Patrick R. Jackman and Margaret Brennan Jackman. She lived her entire
life in Emmetsburg, and as a young woman, she was united in marriage to
Paul Schany at Graettinger. Three children wre born to the couple, all
of whom survive. They are John of Watsonville, Cal., Leo of near Emmetsburg
and Mrs. Bernadette McClellan of San Francisco, Calif., John, who is on
a vacation trip, could not be reached in time for the funeral, but he had
visited here recently.

Mrs. Schnay was a member of the Catholic Daughters of America and was a
lifetime member of the Catholic church.

In poor health for the past few years, Mrs. Schany had been feeling better
in recent weeks and the day before her death, she had gone to St. Thomas
church for a few moments in the evening and had planned to attend an early
Mass the day of her death. She suffered a stroke early in the morning,
however, and failed to rally from its effects. Deeply religious, Mrs. Schany
was a quiet, home loving person, devoted to her family. With a good word
always for others, she did many kind deeds for neighbors and friends, never
wanting or expecting anything in return. Her death has brought sadness
to the many who knew and admired her. She is survived by her husband and
three children, two brothers, Francis Jackman and P. C. Jackman, three
sisters, Mrs. Robert Laughlin, Mrs. Bridget Kane and Alice Jackman, and
a number of grandchildren, nephews, nieces and other relatives. Preceding
her in death were a sister, Mrs. Thomas Kirby of Sioux City, and a brother,
Joe Jackman of Emmetsburg.
