Wi Obits Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/WoodObits/272 Surname: CAREY, DEVER, FLEWELLING, MONEGHAN, PAYNE ------------------------- John D CAREY Obit taken from the Centralia Enterprise & Tribune, Saturday, 09 Dec 1893, Page 1 John D CAREY, 1814-1893 A life rich in years of work and usefulness ceased this week in the death of Mr. John D CAREY of this city. He had been ailing for several years past, though his ailment did not confine him to his bed or house. Gradually however he grew weaker until a few months ago he became unable to leave the house, and quietly and painlessly passed away last Sunday, December 3rd. Mr CAREY was a native of Ireland, being born in the town of Seart (hard to read), County of Kerry, March 14th, 1814. In 1837, he came to this country. In 1840 he was married and three years later moved west with his family, settling in Cook Co, IL. In 1846 he came to WI, settling first in Dodge county, then moving to Adams county in 1858, and finally in 1864, he came to Wood county where he has been a resident ever since. Five years ago his wife died, since which time his health and strength gradually failed. Eight children survive him: Mrs W H FLEWELLING, of the town of Port Edwards; Mr D E CAREY, of Grand Rapids; Mrs S A PAYNE, of this city; Mrs John MONEGHAN of Dexterville; Mr J E CAREY, of Eau Claire; Mrs Edward DEVER, of Beloit; M N and W H CAREY, of this city. The funeral services were held at the Catholic church last Wednesday, and a large number of the dead man's acquaintances and friends followed the remains to his grave in Calvary cemetery.
