  Mrs. Margaret Connor
  The remains of Mrs. Margaret Connor, who was killed by a train last Saturday were laid to rest at Calvary Monday morning. Funeral services were held at St. Mary's Church, Fathers Donahue, Conway and Tonissi officiating. Father Conway spoke feelingly of the loss sustained, not alone by the church, but by the entire community, in the death of Mrs. Connor. She had, he said, been one of the pillars of the church since its inception, thirty-seven years ago. At service last Sunday morning he had remarked the fact that her place was empty for the first time within his recollection. She had been a hard working woman, burdened with the care of a family, her husband having been an invalid for ten years prior his death. She had been faithful over a few things and had now gone to be made ruler over many things.
  The church was filled with those gathered to pay respect to her memory and many beautiful floral pieces were presented. The body was carried from the church by Messrs. Mathew Larkin, P. O'Neil, George Kearney, William Currey, Mathew O'Connor, and William Devine. It was taken to its last resting place in Calvary Cemetery.

  A Shocking Accident
  At 8:30 this morning, Mrs. Margaret Connor, well know to all old Evanstonians, was struck and instantly killed by a train on the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad at Grove street and Benson avenue. Mrs. Connor had just left St. Mary's Church, where she had been attending mass. Going down Maple avenue to Grove street she started over town. At the Benson avenue crossing she found the railroad guard gates down, but as a Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul train going south had just passed, she supposed the gates had been lowered for that, and that the gateman had been slow in raising them. She walked around the guard and started across the Northwestern tracks, not noticing a train coming at full speed from the north. The gateman saw her peril and rang his alarmbell as loudly as possible, but before she could get across the train was upon her. The cow-catcher struck her, throwing her forty or fifty feet, breaking her neck and arm, bruising her in a shocking manner, and killing her instantly. In an incredibly short space of time a crowd had gathered, and loving hands bore all that was mortal of the poor woman to Hebblethwaite's undertaking establishment. The coroner was immediately notified, and an inquest will probably be held this afternoon. No fault can be attached to the gateman for the accident, as his gates were down and his warning bell sounding.
  
  Mrs. Margaret Connor was the widow of Patrick Connor. She was born in County Wexford, Ireland, sixty-five years ago. For the past thirty-five years her home has been in Evanston, where she had lived, loved and respected by all with whom she came in contact. She leaves four children, James, John L., Edward F., and Bridget, all of whom are grown.
  
  Mrs. Connor was a faithful and conscientious christian woman, indefatigable in her attendance on divine service, true alike to her God and her church. In speaking of her this morning Father Conway said: "Too much cannot be said of her christian character. She was one of the founders of our church and has been untiring in her efforts to keep up its standard. Unflagging in her devotion, she was a constant attendant on all services and was at mass but ten minutes before her sad death. She was scrupulously honest and outspoken, disdaining subterfuge, but always kindly spoken and thoughtful of the feelings of others."
  
  High mass will be celebrated by Fathers Conway and Donahue at St. Mary's Church Monday morning at 10 o'clock, after which the remains will be taken to Calvary Cemetery for interment by carriage..⁶
