Begley, Bertha (10 September 1878 - 15 December 1951)

Mrs. George Begley, age 73, died at an Eau Claire hospital on Saturday, December 15. She had been hospitalized since she suffered a stroke and a fractured hip on November 28.

Funeral services were conducted on Tuesday at two o’clock from the Georgas Funeral Home with the Rev. Virgil Nulton officiating. Interment was made in the Neillsville City Cemetery.

Mrs. Begley, nee Bertha Head, was born on September 10, 1878 to Herbert and Alice Squires Head at Humbird. She had been a lifetime resident of Clark County. She taught school for several years. On July 2, 1902 she was married to George Begley at Humbird. They moved to a farm in the Town of York, where they resided until 1920. They then moved to the city for four years and returned to the farm, where they lived until 1927, when they purchased a smaller farm just north of the city limits. They farmed there until 1949 when they purchased a home on West Fifth Street.

Mrs. Begley is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Fred (Blanche) Mohr, who recently moved to her mother’s home to care for her; one daughter-in-law, Mrs. Archie (Lila) Begley of Sparta; and two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Marion Begley and Miss Grace Begley of the city; also eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
