McNEIL - PALAS
At St. Bridget's Catholic church in this city at 5:30 o'clock on
Wednesday morning April 30th, occurred the marriage of Mr. Daniel
McNeil and Miss Anora Palas, Rev. Father Clune tying the nuptial
knot. Following the ceremeony the wedding party repaired to the
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Palas, where an
elaborate breakfast was served, after which
the bridal couple left by auto for West Union, where they boarded
the Rock Island Passenger for Cedar Rapids and other points. On
their return they will settle down to housekeeping in their
beautifully furnished home in this city. The contracting parties
are among Postville's most widely known and highly respected
young people, and with their myriad friends the Review
joins in extending to them its kindliest wishes for health,
happiness and prosperity.
OBITUARY
"Grandma" Coyle, the venerable mother of Mrs. John
Sanders, passed away at the home of her daughter in this city at
about the noon hour Wednesday, after many years of patient
suffering. She was a grand, true, noble christian woman, who in
the fullness of years has been called to her reward. Margaret
Holmes was born in Westchester Co., New York, June 26, 1837.
Later her parents removed to Ohio and then to Wisconsin. Here she
passed her girlhood days and was married to Dr. Gilbert D. Coyle,
Sept. 2, 1863. Their married life was spent in Iowa and Kansas.
In January 1878 her husband died. She had but one child and their
life has been spent together with the exception of ten years
while Mrs. Coyle was caring for her aged mother. Mrs. Coyle has
been a resident of Postville 31 years. She was a very active,
energetic woman until rheumatism afflicted her. She has been a
great sufferer and for nine years has been unable to walk.
Notwithstanding her affliction she has retained her interest in
outside affairs, spending many pleasant hours in reading and
visiting with the faithful friends who often
came to see her. She leaves to mourn her loss one sister, two
brothers, one daughter, three grandchildren and one
great-grandchild. She was a member of the M. E. church and Rev.
Mellott conducted her funeral service today at half past two
o'clock at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Sanders. Interment
