Mrs. McTaggart lived an active life up to the day of her death, and has been about the home as usual until a short time before the death angel came. Not feeling quite as usual, her family physician had been summoned, but in a short time she quietly passed to her reward, the reward of an earnest christian woman. Ellen, daughter of the late Michael and Anne Carr, was born in Franklinville, New York on Nov. 1, 1853, and passed away at the home of her son, Joseph on the home farm in Cox Creek vicinity, Friday, April 26, 1935. On June 14, 1878 she was united in marriage to Michael McTaggart and to which union 14 children were born, all of whom are living except one son, who died in infancy. Seven years ago the golden wedding was observed. Since the death of her husband on April 15, 1831, she has continued to live with her son, Joseph and wife. Mrs. McTaggart has enjoyed a remarkable life. Saw the Cox Creek church built and lived in its shadow for almost sixty years. Her father was instrumental in having the church built, donating the land for the church location and was the first to be laid away in the Cox Creek cemetery. She is survived by six daughters, who are: Mary (Mrs. J.P. Funk), Anna (Mrs. Paul Reimer), of Edgewood, Catherine (Mrs. F.W.

All were present at the funeral service with the exception of William. Forty-three grandchildren also survive. The funeral service was held Monday at Sacred Heart, Cox Creek church, with Rev. Father P.J. Boyle conducting the service. He was assisted by Rev. Father Torpey of Fairbank, Iowa. The mass servers were four of her grandsons and the casket bearers her six sons.
