PASSING OF A PIONEER
Mrs. Grace Ellen SWINDELL Succumbs to Old Age
     At the family residence 114 Iowa street at 8:55 o'clock this morning
occurred the death of Mrs. Grace Ellen SWINDELL, relict of the late Robert
SWINDELL, who passed away Thanksgiving day 1893 in the eighty-fourth year of
her age.
     The deceased was born in County TYRONE, IRELAND, April 12th, 1813 and came
direct to Davenport in 1842, where she continued to reside up to the day of
her death. Mrs. SWINDELL and her late husband, Robert SWINDELL were both
pioneers of this vicinity and together they saw the primitive village of
some odd thousands of inhabitants grow to the stature of a metropolis. Old
age was the cause of death to both husband and wife. Both sprang from sturdy
stock and deserved well of the community in which they lived.
The deceased was a pious, christian mother, a kind and benevolent neighbor
and her demise will be mourned by all who knew her.
     Five children survive, two daughters, and three sons Mrs. Alonzo MULVANE,
Mrs. William MULLEN, H.H. SWINDELL, Robert F SWINDELL and John W SWINDELL,
all of this city.
     The funeral will take place Thursday morning at 9 o'clock from the late
residence, 114 Iowa street, with services at St. Anthony's church of which
the deceased was one of the pioneer members in the time of Rev. J.A.F.
