The TALES you probably never heard about

NELLIE ELIZABETH O’BRIEN

[Welland Tribune, 18 January 1889]

Death, always regrettable, seems particularly sad and untimely when taking those in the prime of youth. Many friends mourn the death of Miss Nellie O’Brien, daughter of late Daniel O’Brien and Mrs. Thomas Dooley of this town. Nellie O’Brien’s death occurred on Tuesday at the age of 20 years, the cause being pronounced inflammation of the bowels by the attendant physician. The funeral took place today (Friday), to meet at the house at 9 a.m., services at the R.C. church in town and burial in grounds adjoining.
