Gilheney
Mrs. Mary Gilheney, an old resident of Davenport, died last night at 11 o'clock at Mercy hospital where she had made her home for the past fifteen years. Mrs. Gilheney had not been in good health lately and yesterday afternoon when one of the sisters went to her room to visit her she found her suffering considerably. She had become enfeebled by the extreme heat and this induced apoplexy, which resulted in her death last night.
Mrs. Gilheney was 79 years and was born in County Leithrim, Ireland. She came to America at an early age and lived in Rhode Island, where she was married at Providence to Patrick Gilheney. They came west soon afterwards and made this their home. Mr. Gilheney died about twenty-five years ago.
The deceased had no children of her own, but shared with her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Flynn and her brother, Patrick Tague, in the care and rearing of their families. She leaves a number of nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews in the city to whom her memory is endeared by many acts of loving kindness and solicitude.
Scarcely twenty-four hours before her death in the same hospital building from where her spirit departed there came into the world a tiny little great-grandnephew, the son of Mrs. Albert F. O'Hern, who was the grand-daughter of the sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Flynn.
The nearest surviving relative is Mrs. N. Reynolds of Providence, R.I., a sister of the deceased.
The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock from the Sacred Heart cathedral, with the interment in St. Marguerite's cemetery.

Mrs. Elizabeth Flynn
Another old resident of Davenport has departed from this life, Mrs. Elizabeth Flynn, who died this morning at her home, 408 E. 12th Street. Thus another of those, whom the prevalent grippe has claimed for its victims. Mrs. Flynn was sick only about a week, having complained of a cold, which afterwards developed into a case of pneumonia, beneath which she sank until death relieved her from from her suffering. She was an estimable woman, beloved by all her acquaintances for her gentleness and kindly spirit. She leaves two children to mourn her loss; a son Thomas, and a daughter, Mrs. Michael Feeney. Mrs. Flynn was a native of Ireland and had reached the age of 65 years. She was a resident of Davenport for 30 years. Funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from Sacred Heart Cathedral.
