Read More	From the Nebraska Signal, 1920: SLOAN, ELIZABETH—Mrs. Elizabeth Sloan, daughter of Phillip and Ann Magee, was born at Anahern, County of Caven, Ireland, March 26, 1830. She attended the parish school and also the then new national schools where she acquired a fairly liberal education for that country and time. She was the oldest child of the family and upon reaching womanhood, came to America, when it took eleven weeks to accomplish the voyage. She landed in Philadelphia where, she first went into service and later an apprenticeship, she became an accomplished tailoress. Her industry and thrift enabled her to contribute to the home folks during those years of Irish distress and also pay the passage for two brothers and a sister to America. In Philadelphia she met and was married to James W. Sloan, and shortly thereafter moved with him to Monticello, Ia., in 1858. At Monticello they resided on a farm until 1883, when they moved to Plattville, Taylor Co., Ia, whence in 1897 Mr. and Mrs. Sloan came to Geneva, where their four sons then resided. At Monticello ten children were born unto them, five of whom passed away in childhood. Five survive her: William J. , Ashley, Mont; Charles H. Geneva, Neb., Mrs. Mamie Sickels, Athelstan, Ia., Robert J. Kansas City, Mo; and Frank W. Geneva, Neb. She was born, baptized, reared, lived and died in the Catholic faith. She passed away after nearly a year of sickness at the home of her son, Frank in Geneva, October 28, 15 9 o'clock a.m. 1920. Her remains were temporarily placed in the mausoleum at the Wyuka cemetery at Lincoln, Neb., Monday, November 1, 1920. Here her remains will rest by the side of her husband until a suitable vault is constructed in the family lot in the Geneva cemetery. Mrs. Sloan was truly a mother in Israel. She was one of the good of the earth. Those who knew her well feel that she was worthy and believe that she is in heaven. Her life was long and in it she did much that was good and holy. Four score and ten years on earth is seldom given to man or woman. This measure was granted to her and she wasted none of it. She was devoted to her work and what her hand found to do she did with patience and industry that was a marvel to her friends and neighbors. Friends wondered that one so slight of form and limited stature could do so much. She did much for her friends and neighbors, but the center of her interest here was in her home. Few husbands and wives have closed happier lives than did she and her husband who preceded her in death nearly four years. She would sometimes speak with tender recollection of the little ones who lie under the evergreens of Oakwood cemetery, Monticello, Ia., but very often she would speak with interest, pride, and affection of children who were living. Of these latter, she never wearied in telling the incidents of their childhood, their development and education, over which she had watched with a mother's care and loved to tell of their doings and delighted in their measures of success. From early life she was a zealous advocate of temperance and took special pride in giving advanced education to her children. But zealous as she was in her work, devoted as she was to her family, she never faltered in the Catholic faith, in which she was born, baptized, lived and died. Her life was one of earth's best examples of Christian faith and Christian conduct. The world is better for her having lived in these four score and ten years of industry, devotion and Christian fortitude. A touching tribute to the sweet nature of the deceased appeared in the profusion of floral offerings from not only friends about Geneva, but from those who knew her in many cities of the state and from several places outside Nebraska. She loved flowers and highly appreciated things that were beautiful and good. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Father Agiu of St. Joseph's church. These were exceedingly appropriate and impressive and the reverend father's just and sympathetic words, personal to the deceased; were generously bestowed as they were richly deserved. Among those relatives in attendance at the funeral from a distance were Mrs. Margaret Clark, only surviving sister of James W. Sloan, deceased, whose home is in Philadelphia; Harry B. Sloan, a grandson (son of William J. Sloan.) Fort Collins, Col; Mrs. Mamie Sickels, daughter of the deceased, Athelstan, Ia.; Robert J. Sloan, Kansas City, Mo.; Sadie Stairy a niece of the deceased, Sioux City, Ia. The Nebraska Signal November 4th, 1920 page 1.
