Martha
McCall Tiearney
On Friday
afternoon, 20 Feb 1925, after a brief illness in her home on Church
street, Waterford, death claimed one of our most kindly hospitable
women, in the person of Mrs. Joseph Tiearney.
Mrs. Tiearney was
a daughter of the late Jacob and Sarah McCall, early pioneers of
Norfolk County. She was born in the township of Charlotteville in
1854.
In 1882 she was
united in marriage to Mr. Joseph Tiearney, also of Norfolk. Four
children were born to them, of whom three, Charles, Jean and May are
still living.
For more than 30
years they made their home in Chicago where Mrs. Tiearney was a
devoted member of several activities including, apart from her
church, The Eastern Star, True Kindred and I.O.F. associations. A
life long active member of the Episcopal or Anglican church, she
will be greatly missed by a wide circle of friends.
The funeral was
conducted on Sunday afternoon in Trinity church, by Rev. F. G.
Richard, the service being largely attended.
Interment took
place in Oakwood cemetery, Simcoe.
The pall bearers were her relatives, Messrs. Bruce and Ralph McCall,
and friends James Johnson, Samuel King, Wm. Kickley of Simcoe, and
Alvie Erwin of Waterford.
