DEATH OF MRS. EDD HEVERN

On Saturday morning September 14, at 12:45 the angel of death visited the home of Ed. Hevern taking his beloved wife just a few hours after the death of his brother, Frank. She became ill early in June and was a patient sufferer perfectly resigned to the will of God.

Mollie Nugent was born near Elkader, Iowa, June 18, 1865, where she grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage with Edd Hevern April 8, 1907, and resided on a farm northwest of Rock Valley until her death.

She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, three brothers, Henry of Elkader, Joseph of California, and T. F. Gunter of Clara City, Minn.

Funeral services were held in St. Mary’s Church, Tuesday morning, Reverend Father O’Rielly officiating and the remains were laid to rest in St. Mary’s Cemetery. Her funeral was largely attended by friends and neighbors showing the high esteem in which she was held in the neighborhood.

Those from a distance attending the funeral were, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Gunter, of Clara City, Minn., Henry Nugent and Florence Loftus, of Elkader and Mason City, Francis Hevern of Hillsboro, N.D., Carer Roberts, Ethan, S.D., Henry and James Donahoe and Mrs. Guilleane of Sheldon, Frank Freeland, Freeland Park [state torn out], Mr. and Mrs. Jas.

RESEARCH NOTES

A brief obituary in the Alton Democrat, September 21, Rock Valley news, gives the cause of her death as Bright's disease, and says she is survived by her husband and three step sons, Francis of Sioux Falls, James of Boyden, and Joseph at home; also by three (unnamed) brothers.

The Sioux County Cemetery Index has Hevern, Mary A., Mrs., d. 15 Sep 1928, St Mary’s Cem Rock Valley IA.

Her death certificate has Mary Hevern; born June 5, 1868 in Elkader, Ia.; parents James F. Neugent and Anna Elizabeth Nolan, both born in Ireland; wife of Edward Hevern; resident of Rock Valley 38 years; informant Patric Henry Neugent; died Sept. 14, 1928, cause rather illegible but looks like “Anasance”, duration 2 months 14 days; contributory cause, mitral stenosis, duration 3 years.

FindaGrave.com has her born 18 June 1865 in Elkader (but the photo of her headstone gives only her death date). It gives her husband’s full name as Edward Timothy Hevern (1866-1959).
