Obituary of Mrs. Gorman.

Julia Harnett was bom in County Limereck, Ireland, Oct. 29, 1835, and passed away at her home near Rensselaer, Ind., May 24, 1915, aged 80 years and 7 months. She came to Canada at the age of 14 years and was married to Maurifce Gorman 4 years later, and they settled at Morris, 111., some time later coming to the farm where they have lived more than 40 years. To this union were bom 14 children, nine of whom, with the aged husband and father, mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother. The children are Mrs. Nellie Raymond, Jasper county, Mrs. Mary Swanson, Fowler, Mrs. Etta Brandon, x Seattle, Wash., Mrs. Julia Hanger, Lafayette, Mrs. Lucy Markin, Rensselaer, John, of Leroy, Minn., Edward, of Chevantz, 111., Maurice, of Fair Oaks, and Charles, who lives with the parents. All of them were at the bedside of the mother when the end came. Mother Gorman was of the Catholic faith and a kindlier heart never beat in human breast. She never was too busy with her own interests to lend a helping hand to a friend or neighbor in distress. Her remains were buried in Mt. Calvary cemetery, Rensselaer, Ind.
