Mrs. John Ireland, a resident in this community for 33 years, died at her home in Shell Lake at nine o'clock Thursday morning, Feb. 4, 1937, after a serious illness for ten days. The past few years Mrs. Ireland had been in poor health and was taken critically ill on January 25th.

Those from out of town who were present at the funeral were Mrs. Geo. Haffenden, Mr. and Mrs. John Thew and Miss Cora Ireland, all of Minneapolis.
In Memoriam
I hear a long low murmur
Like winds in the wintry pine
A passing sigh as we say good-bye
In this lonely heart of mine.
But the murmur low
Is the passing snow
That heralds the dawn of spring
And my aching heart
Feels a sudden start,
The birth of a song to sing
So the hills will 'mind me of snow white hair
The sun, of your eyes so fine
In tomorrow's spring, we again shall sing;
Little Mother of mine.
