April 8, 1908 - The Democrat - Friday our citizens learned of the death of John McCormick of this city, who been been a patient sufferer for several years. The funeral was held Sunday and was very largely attended. Many came from a distance to be present at the last sad obsequies. The remains were taken to Assumption church immediately after last mass where the brief burial rites were parformed by Very Rev. T J Smith. Monday morning tbere was a requiem high mass for the deceased. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. Mr. McCormick was born in the county of Sligo, Ireland, in 1836. He came to the United States in 1859. November 1, 1862, he was married to Misa Ellen Gammon at Canaudauga, New York. Mr. and Mrs. McCormick moved to Waterloo, Iowa, October 20, 1866. There they resided on a farm until 1887 when they came to Palo Alto county and located southeast of town. In 1899 they came to Emmetsburg to spend their remaining days. Seven children were born to them: four eons and three daughters. Two sons and one daughter are living. They are Frank and John and Mrs. J.D. Higgins, all of this vicinity. Mr. McCormick was a man of exeptionally good habits. Morally, his career was in every sense above criticism. Though not a total abstainer, he always practiced and counseled moderation. He would not dethrone his reason by the abuse of intoxicants. He was upright in his dealings with others. He was decidely economical and he wanted that which justly belonged to him, but he would not knowingly wrong any man. He was a tireless worker and he made his efforts count. He accumulated considerable property and he took good care of his premises. About his farm home there was every evdience of prudential supervision, order and arrangement. He was genial and neighborly. He could give and take. He reciprocated the kindness and the assistance of friends and he tenaciously clung to those in whom he had reason to confide. He was a home man. He never neglected his family. The high esteem in which the surviving members are held bear testimony to his sincerity and his zeal as a husband and father. For twenty two years the writer knew Mr. McCormick as one of the staunchest and most substantial of friends and it is with genuine regret that we learned of his death. The sympathy of all is extended to his afflicted wife and to the surviving sons and daughter.
