He was more or less of an invalid for a number of years. His last serious illness was of perhaps three weeks duration. The funeral was held Saturday. Services were conducted at the Catholic church at Ayrshire, Rev. E.J. Smith, the pastor, officiating. He spoke feelingly and instructively of the life of the deceased and the obligation of his relatives and friends in remembering him in their prayers and offerings. The remains were brought to this city and interred in St. John's cemetery. The pall bearers were John Anglum, Thomas Fagan, Michael Daily, Thomas DeBolt, Peter Mulroney and Thos. Dawson. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends. Thomas Shea was born near Waterford, in the county of Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1841. When he was 10 years old his parents emigrated to the United States and located near Pittsburg, Pa. In 1866 they came to Palo Alto county. Mr. Shea was married in June 1879 to Miss Bridget Martin. Mr. and Mrs. Shea settled on a farm in Nevada township where they resided until 1892 when they moved to Ayrshire. The death of Mr. Shea is mourned by his wife and their nephew, J.J. Martin, who made his home with them from the age of two until he reached the years of manhood. Mr. Shea was a genial, friendly, warm hearted gentleman. He was devoted to his family and friends and he was exceptionally hospitable and generous. He led a worthy life and he passed away consoled by the conviction that eternal rewards crown the efforts of those who guard carefully every spiritual and temporal treasure entrusted to them. His death, aside from the sorrow it has brought to his loved ones, is sincerely regretted by Emmetsburg pioneers who entertained a very high regard for him. Widespread sympathy is offered to the surviving relatives. [From the Emmetsburg (Iowa) Democrat, Dec 19, 1923. Contributed by Cindy Massi.]
