Saturday, 17 March 1900

         Thursday evening, March 1, MRS. JAMES MIDDLETON
       died at her home in Birch Cooley after a brief ill-
       ness occasioned by bronchitis. During her illness
       everything possible was done to relieve her and
       save her life, but all medical treatment and the
       best of care seemed of no avail other than to
       alleviate her sufferings. MRS. MIDDLETON'S death
       is perhaps as much regretted by the community in
       which she lived as would be the death of any other
       woman in Birch Cooley. She was an old settler, an
       exeplary woman, one of the best neighbors and a
       good and true Christian. MRS. MIDDLETON, whose
       maiden name was MARGARET DUNNIGAN, was born in
       the county of Wicklow, Ireland, 66 years ago and
       came to this country at the age of 22 years and
       settled in the state of Connecticut, where she
       was married three years later to JAMES MIDDLETON.
       Six years after her marriage she removed with
       her husband to Wisconsin, where she resided until
       coming to Birch Cooley thirty-one years ago, where
       she resided up to the time of her death. She was
       the mother of four children, two sons and two
       daughters, who, together with her husband, sur-
       vive her. The children are JOHN, JULIA, DANIEL
       and ANNA, all of whom were at the bedside of
       their dying mother. The funeral took place from
       St. John's church in Morton on Saturday morning,
       and the remains were interred in the cemetery
       close by, Rev. Father O'Connor officiating.
