Read More	Anastasia Morrissey was born July 22, 1864 at Tremont, Illinois, and died at her home north of Mayetta, Kansas, December 11, 1930. She was married in October, 1884, to John Shay of Tremont, Ill. The family left the home state in February, 1909, coming to Kansas, where an uncle, James Cooney, and a brother, John P. Morrissey, had been farmers for twenty-five years. John Shay bought the Wm. Thornburg farm six miles south of Holton and adjoining land on the Reservation which has comprised the home farm for nearly twenty-two years. The husband and father died December 8, 1918, when the influenza left many homes grief stricken. The mother and children, then grown, carried on bravely. Five years ago the mother became an invalid after a severe attack of paralysis. In spite of affliction she was still the patient, cheerful head of the hard working family. She lived for her loved ones and desired for herself only a home in heaven. Two sons, James and William; three daughters, Julia, Ellen and Catherine, and two grandchildren are mourning a true woman called to her reward. Funeral services, conducted by the pastor, Rev. F.A. Geinitz, were held in St. Francis Catholic Church in Mayetta, Saturday, December 13, 1930. The pall bearers were Edward Slattery, Edward Tobin, Edward Whelan, Felix D. Cooney, Michael Fitzgerald, and Wm. Cooney. Burial was in Mt. Calvary Cemetery at Holton. May she rest in peace. The Holton Recorder ~ December 25, 1930 Note: 1900 Census has Birth year as 1867 -- 1870 census has Birth year as 1864 (age 6)
