Read More	From the Emmetsburg Democrat, Thursday, March 19, 1931: The Funeral of Mrs. W. Keating Services at Assumption Church Saturday. Burial in St. John's Cemetery Last Wednesday evening as we were issuing the Democrat, we received word that Mrs. Walter Keating, whose serious illness was mentioned elsewhere in the Democrat, passed away at 5:30 p.m. at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James P. Jones of this city. The funeral was held Saturday forenoon. Services were conducted in the assumption churchof which she has for 35 years been a member. A solemn requiem high mass was celebrated by her grandnephew,Father Leo Berger. He was assisted by Very Rev. J. G. Murtagh and Rev. Jas. Shannahan. At the close, Father Murtagh preached an impressive sermon and spoke eulogistically of the exemplary life and the sincerity as a Catholic of Mrs. Keating. The burial was in the family lot in St. John's cemetery. The pallbearers were six grandnephews of the deceased-Earl Hoben, Bert Higgins, Walter Higgins, John McCormick, Ed Donahue and Ervin Joynt. Catherine Joynt was born at Gort, County of Galway, Ireland, November 1847. Her age was 83. Miss Joynt attended the local schools and grew to womanhood in her native country. March 21, 1867, the parents and several members of the family came to the United States and located in the vicinity of Dyersville, Dubuque County. Miss Joynt was married at that place November 25, 1875, to Mr. Walter Keating. They lived on a neighboring farm for many years. In 1896 they came to Palo Alto county and located on the Peter Jones farm in Great Oak Township, which Mr. Keating had previously purchased. Seven years later they bought a home in the fourth ward and moved to Emmetsburg. Mr. Keating died in October 1917. Mrs. Keating is survived by one son, John D. of Chicago, and two daughters-Mrs. Jas P. Jones of Emmetsburg and Mrs. W.T. O'Brien of Des Plaines, Illinois, which is a suburb of Chicago. There are three grandchildren. Mrs. Keating was the last member of a family of ten. Her brothers Patrick, John and Michael Joynt, old residents of our county will be well remembered by many of our readers. Mrs. Keating was one of the quiet, refine, dignified old ladies of our county. As stated elsewhere, she was the survivor of a large family of ten brothers and sisters. She was anything but pretentious but she had a well trained mind and she kept posted on current affairs. She was for her years well preserved physically and her mental faculties were clear to the last. She was ardently devoted to her religion and she observed strictly its teachings in all that she said and did. She was very witty. Her replies to inquiries or comments by others in conversation were always to the point, although she was not in any sense sarcastic. She had due regard for the feelings of those among whom she mingled. Our community did not know a mother who was more exemplary or high minded. Her passing is sincerely regretted by all who knew her. General and profound sympathy is offered to the surviving son and daughters in their bereavement. Contributor: Colleen C (50070893)
