Mrs. Cruise had not been entirely well for some time but had not taken to her bed until two weeks ago. Everything possible was done for her but to no avail, and with her eleven children at her bedside she passed peacefully away last Saturday. The funeral service was held at 9:30 Monday morning in St. Patrick’s Catholic church. An audience estimated at 500 persons was there assembled to pay their last respects to this pioneer mother, who has entered into her reward after a long, useful, and exemplary life in Massena and vicinity, and who has reared eleven representative citizens, many of whom reside in this vicinity. A wonderful profusion of floral offerings gave evidence of the esteem in which Mother Cruise was held. Interment was in Reno cemetery, the six sons bearing their mother to her last resting place beside the husband and father who passed away some fifteen years ago. A solemn Requiem high mass was sung by the pastor, Fr. P.R. O’Donnell, who was assisted by Fr. P.N. McDermott of Atlantic, as Deacon of the mass. Fr. D. Dower of Reno, served as sub-deacon and Fr. F.J. O’Connell of Des Moines, officiated as Master of Ceremonies. Father O’Conner, of Wiota served as assistant in the sanctuary. George Anstey, grandson of the deceased, and Donald Amdor, were the altar boys. Music for the mass was sung by Mrs. Frank Kopp of Anita, who was assisted by Misses Mabel and Reba Cullen and Earl Cullen. Fr. O’Donnell paid an unusual tribute to the memory of Mother Cruise and lauded the many sacrifices that she has made in the rearing of her family, to the faithful fidelity she has always exhibited in the practice of her religion and to the legacy of the wonderful memory of a life well lived which she bequeaths to her family. Mary McGarry, daughter of Owen and Mary McGarry, was born on the 6th day of January, in the year of 1852 at Lysergol, County Roscommon, Ireland. Here she grew to womanhood and became a teacher, following in the footsteps of her father. On the 24th day of October, 1872, she became the wife of George Cruise, and immediately following the wedding they set out for the United States, locating in Braddyville, Ill., where they spent one winter, coming in the spring to Adams county, Iowa, and settled on a farm five miles west of Mt. Etna. Here on this same farm Mr. and Mrs. Cruise lived for forty years, coming to Massena in 1913, where she has since resided. On this same farm the following eleven children were born and reared: Thomas of Imperial, Nebr., Joseph of Mt. Etna, M.H. and Mrs. Martha Vasko, of Omaha, Mrs. Mary Anstey, Mrs. Rachel Clinton, Mrs. Bertha Shey, George, Eugene, Catherine, and John, of Massena.
