Interment was in St. Joseph's Cemetery. ----------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Mary Louise Tinley of 241 Fifth Avenue, veteran physician who was honored last March as the "Woman of the Year," died Friday afternoon at her home. She was 84. Dr. Mary, as she had been affectionately known by her friends and patients, suffered a broken hip in a fall March 8, 1951. Although receiving patients in her office up to February 1953, she never fully recovered. Heart trouble contributed to her death. She and her brother, Dr. Mathew A. Tinley, shared office space in the Park Building for many years. Dr. Mat gave up his active practice last year, but the Tinley suite was not officially closed until last month. She was tops as a doctor, tops as a citizen and tops as a friend. Just one generation removed from Irish peasantry, Dr. Mary was the daughter of Mathew Hale Tinley and Rose Dolan. Her parents immigrated to the United States from Ireland. They moved to Council Bluffs in 1869. Dr. Mary was a lifelong resident of this city. While she was in high school, she was inspired to become a doctor by a visiting woman physician. She was graduated from the old Council Bluffs high School in 1887. She completed high school in three years. She taught five years at Longfellow then Twentieth Avenue and Bloomer Schools. When she had saved enough money, she enrolled at the University of Omaha medical department. She was graduated in 1894 at the head of a class of 21 men and three women. After postgraduate work in New York and Boston, she opened her first office, in September of 1895, in the old Baldwin Block where the Council Bluffs Savings Bank now stands. Around the turn of the century, her old sorrel mare and roomy phaeton were a familiar sight in Council Bluffs as she made her calls. Dr. Mary was instrumental in the education of her brother, Dr. Mat. He was originally intended for the priesthood, but decided to follow Dr. Mary's profession. During World War I, she handled her own as well as Dr. Mat's practice. Religious affiliation was with St. Francis Catholic Church. She was district surgeon for the Union Pacific Railroad for 23 years and also had been physician for the Wabash Railroad for many years. She was physical examiner for baby clinics throughout the county for over 30 years and was a honorary member and physical director of the county 4-H girls for many years. She was one of the first women auto drivers in the city and for many years had license number 69, a private secret between her and auto license Registrar Pat O'Neill. It was the year of her birth -- 1869. About 18 months ago, Dr. Mary and her sister, Miss Aurelia Tinley, built a home on Fifth Avenue and sold the "Tinley Home" at 331 Ninth Avenue. Dr. Mat and Miss Aurelia are the only immediate survivors. The body will be at her home until time of service. Requiem Mass will be celebrated at St. Francis Catholic Church. Msgr. James P. Danahey will be celebrant. Interment will be in St. Joseph's Cemetery. Cutler Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
