He had been a resident of Woodbury County fifty-six years. Although Mr. Coyne's health had been failing since he suffered an attack of yellow jaundice in the spring of 1938, he did not become seriously ill until Monday evening, July 17. His condition steadily became worse, and he lapsed into a coma Thursday and remained unconscious until the end came at 3:20 a.m. Saturday. All the children were at his bedside including Neil of Pittsburgh, California, who was visiting here the first time in ten years. News of Mr. Coyne's death came as a great shock to his dear ones and to his friends, who found it difficult to realize that the cheerful man many of them had seen about town Monday actually completed his earthly sojourn. Liver and kidney trouble caused his demise. Sylvester Coyne was born September 15, 1868, at Chrysler, Ontario, Canada, to John and Rose Carr Coyne. He came to the U.S. as a boy of fourteen, the family living at Dunlap, Iowa, a year before coming to Oto. The deceased was employed extensively as a farm hand in the Oto community and worked on the railroad when the Illinois Central tracks were laid through the Little Sioux Valley from Cherokee to Onawa. He was married October 17, 1893, at Danbury to Catherine O'Connell. They farmed in the Oto vicinity until 1901, when they purchased the farm in Grant Twp. eight miles southwest of Anthon, on which they spent 34 happy years and reared a fine family. They retired four years ago and moved to town. The remainder of Mr. Coyne's life was spent at Anthon. Sylvester Coyne was the fifth member of his family to pass away in sixteen months. During that period, three sisters, Mrs. Rose Oregon, Mrs. Catherine Curtin and Mrs. Margaret Farmer, all of Anthon, and a brother, Thomas, of Salix, also went to their eternal reward. Another sister, Mrs. Bridget Malloy of Inkerman, Ontario, Canada is Seriously ill and was not notified of her brother's demise. Survivors include the widow; a daughter, Mrs. John Kvidera; four sons, Thomas and Maurice of Anthon; Hugh of Marcus and Neil of Pittsburgh, California; two sisters, Mrs. Anna Cole of Anthon and Mrs. Malloy of Canada; other relatives and innumerable friends. A fifth son, Bernard, succumbed in 1921. Hundreds of friends from far and near joined relatives in an almost constant procession to the Coyne residence Saturday and Sunday to pay their last respects to the deceased. The funeral Monday morning was one of the largest ever held from St. Joseph's Catholic Church. Requiem mass was celebrated at 9 a.m. Monday by Rev. L.J. Savage, pastor. Rev. Charles Ernst of Akron directed the children's choir and sang during the service. Two former pastors of Mr. Coyne's , Rev. George Cooke of Sheldon and Rev. D.K. Hurley of Marcus, were present as a tribute to one of their most faithful parishioners while they were head of the Catholic Church here. Six nephews, Tom Farmer of Omaha, Ray Williams of Oto, Dan and Raphael Curtin, Leo and Raphael Cole of Anthon, acted as pallbearers. Burial was in Mt. St. Joseph's Cemetery under direction of Hudgel's Funeral Service." ***
