Michael P Kane Died at Clinton
He Was a Son of Our Esteemed Townsman, J.J. Kane

M.P. Kane, son of J.J. Kane of this city, passed away at this home at Clinton
Monday night of last week. He had not been seriously ill. His brothers
Ed and Charles of this place and his sister, Mrs. Ed Bradley of Graettinger,
attended the funeral, which was held at Clinton on Thursday.
Mr. Kane was born in this locality on March 17, 1874. His age was 51. He
was married in this city in June 1897, to Miss Winnie Joynt, but she died
a number of years ago. His second marriage was to Miss Katherine Broderick
of Clinton, who, with one son,Raymond, survives him. His aged father, now
almost 83, five brothers and four sisters also mourn his death. The brothers
are Charles and Ed of Emmetsburg, Joseph and Robert of Bowman, North Dakota,
and John of Cando, North Dakota. The sisters are Mrs. Ed Bradley of Graettinger,
Mrs. Emil Dahl of Rehm, North Dakota, Mrs. Britt Cattern of Camp Crook,
South Dakota, and Mrs. James Dower of Marengo, Iowa. Miss Katherine passed
away seven years ago and the mother two years ago.
Mr. Kane was a switchman, fireman and engineer on the Northwestern railroad
for many years but had to retire from train work on account of the condition
of his health. He was genial and warm hearted and was a most likable gentleman.
He was employed in the census department for some time but of late years
conducted a grocery store at Clinton. All who knew him as a boy and young
man in this vicinity and who cherished his friendship and his other redeeming
qualities will learn with deep sorrow of his death. Our sympathy is offered
to the brothers and sisters and especially to the aged, honored father
in their bereavement.
