McCarthy, Taleda (17 Feb 1901 - 9 May 1922)

Miss Taleda McCarthy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben McCarthy, died at the home of her parents in this village (Thorp, Clark County, Wis.) on Tuesday evening, May 9th, 1922. Miss McCarthy was born her on Feb. 17, 1901, and about two years ago went to Eau Claire where she attended a business college, after which she was employed in the W. W. Skinner's Abstract office at Chippewa Falls. Nearly a year ago she became ill and returned to her home here with symptoms of tuberculosis, gradually failing until last week, which ender her sufferings. It is sad, indeed, to see one so well equipped for life taken so unexpectedly, yes for her there was no standing on the border land, gazing into the unknown, for death came as the sunset dies along the hills when the day is over. She leaves to mourn her untimely death her father and mother, three sisters, Mildred, Loretta and Eileen, two brothers, Emmett and Sylvester.

The funeral took place on Saturday morning last from St. Bernard's Church, Father Neises officiating, interment following the services at the Catholic Cemetery.
