Isham, Mary #3 (19 DEC 1859 - 11 OCT 1905)

Tuesday morning, Geo. Isham and little 11-year-old daughter arrived here from Texas, bringing with them the body of Mrs. Isham (Mary), who died of tuberculosis in Texas, whither they had gone for her health, last week Wednesday.

Mr. and Mrs. Isham will be remembered by many of our readers as former residents of this place, at one time owning and occupying the Fred Schwenskofski home on Court Street.  Mrs. Isham was the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter McGinnis, a sister of Mesdames John Welch and emery Brule, and Miss Lillian McGinnis of this place.  Mrs. Isham was 44 years of age and is survived by her husband, a grown son, Forest of Madison, and the little 11-year-old daughter, besides a father, 8 sisters and 3 brothers.  The funeral was held from the Emery Bruley home Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Hauck officiating, with interment in the Catholic Cemetery.
