Timothy Killoren, one of this
city’s well known and aged residents, passed away at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Frank [Ella] Flaitz, of 87 North Noble
street, at four o’clock Thursday afternoon. The end came following
an illness that had kept him confined to his bed since last November. The immediate cause of his death was heart trouble, which developed
in connection with a number of other ailments. Mr. Killoren was aged
eighty years and had been a resident of this city for the past
forty-eight years. He was united in marriage to Miss Bridget
Tighe fifty seven years ago. She answered the final summons
sixteen years before the call came for her aged companion. To this
union four children were born. Two of them died when they were
small. Besides the daughter, Mr. Killoren leaves a son, Owen W.
Killoren, of 279 West Broadway. There are also nine
grandchildren.
Mr. Killoren was a faithful member of
St. Joseph’s Catholic church and was a regular attendant at all the
services so long as his health would permit. He was held in high
esteem by all who knew him and his friends were many.
The funeral services will be held at
St. Joseph Catholic Church at nine o’clock Saturday morning, Rev.
Father Ketter officiating, and interment will be made in St. Joseph
Catholic cemetery, in charge of Stewart & Fix. The casket will
be open at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Flaitz this evening from 7
to 8 o’clock and from 7 to 8 o’clock Saturday morning.
