Irish, Beatrice Clara (28 May 1898 - 28 October 1962)

A requiem high mass was read Wednesday morning in St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Neillsville for Mrs. Harold Irish, 64, of Neillsville, who died October 28, following surgery in a Marshfield hospital. The Rev. Fr. Bernard T. Kelly officiated and burial was made in the parish cemetery.

A rosary by the Parish Council of Catholic Women was said Tuesday evening at the Bergemann Funeral Home.

The former Beatrice Clara Lezotte, daughter of the late William and Clara (Noll) Lezotte, was born May 28, 1898, in Shortville.  She moved to Alma Center with her parents when she was a small child and received her education there.

On April 1, 1918, she was married to Harold Irish in Alma Center. They have made Neillsville their home since.

Mrs. Irish was a member of the Parish Council of Catholic Women’s Society, belonged to St. Mary’s Circle and was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Neillsville.

She is survived by her husband and two daughters, Mrs. Louie Zschernitz of Neillsville and Mrs. Frederick Jeske of Dodgeville; and by 12 grandchildren.
