He visited Emmetsburg on several occasions and will be remembered by many of our readers. He is survived by one son. Mr. McNally was born at West Port [co. Mayo] Ireland in 1835. He came to the United States when a comparatively young man. He served for some time during the Civil War and after returning home, spent most of his life in Wisconsin. His wife and one son are dead. His death is mourned by four brothers-Myles, John and Ed of this city and Alex of Rockford, Iowa. All have the sympathy of our many readers. [Note: wife and surviving son's names unknown. All that is known of the descendants of Thomas follows. He was a deserter in the Civil War so was not available for pension.
