Helen M. Carr was born on the 1st day of January, 1845, and therefore, in but 11 days more would have celebrated her 80th birthday. She spent her early years at Farnham, in the Province of Quebec, Canada, her birthplace, but followed the multitude of her countrymen to the New England states, where she was married at Worcester, Massachusetts, to James P. Colleary on January 4, 1870. Glowing reports from California induced them to seek the land of gold and sunshine, traversing the easiest route, via. the Isthmus of Panama. Mr. Colleary obtained employment on the great ranch of Miller & Lux, which extended from the Oregon country to far Texas. Eventually he was made foreman of the San Mateo unit just south of San Francisco, California. After a few years [line cut off at fold] Guernesville, near Santa Rosa, across the bay to the north. But times became hard, and with loss of employment in the sawmill at that place, necessity compelled the father to move. The vast country to the north was still but sparsely settled, and reports from restless wanderers and those already established induced many to undertake the hard journey toward another Land of Promise. The Collearys became members of a little train of five covered wagons. Now one, now another, dropped out, satisfied with what they found, or perhaps unwilling or unable to continue, until but two remained. From friends in the Klickitat country the Collearys had learned of the easy procural of good land, accessible to the markets by its nearness to the great Columbia river, with a healthful and moderate climate. So they made their way to Goldendale, Washington alone, arriving in 1879, and soon took up a "squatter's right" claim in Pleasant Valley, with no improvements but a few rails. Here the last of their seven children were born who, through the ruggedness of their inheritance and bringing up, still survive: Charles, of Vancouver, Washington; Will, of Toppenish, Washington; Mrs. Leo Grant, of Ocean Park, California; Mrs. Michael Curran, of Heppner, Oregon; Mrs. O. C. Groshong, of White Salmon, Washington; Mrs. Thomas Twohig, of Goldendale, Washington; and Mrs. A Davenport, of Goldendale, Washington, who were all able to be present at the funeral. On Mr. Colleary's death in 1901, his widow moved to Goldendale, Washington. The old home is now the property of Andrew Swan. In 1918 she married T. C. Flannary, who survives. Mrs. Flannary's life was typical of the self-sacrificing, hard-working pioneer woman, who struggled cheerfully and persistently to raise their children and accomplish the tasks set before them. Ever ready to help others, she assisted many little souls into the world, nursed young and old back to health when medical attention was difficult, if not impossible to procure, and followed others with tears and prayers to their last resting place. She was faithful in all things - to her God and His Church, to relatives, friends and everyone who came within the range of her boundless sympathy, and, therefore, she takes before the judgment seat of her Maker a multitude of good deeds, well done. Her family extends sincerest thanks to all who helped them in their hour of bereavement.
