Mrs. Meehan was 45 years old at the time of her death and had been a resident of Warner township for thirteen years. She leaves a husband and eight children to mourn her departure. The children are Mrs. W. E. Tew of Willmar Minn., William Meehan of Denver, Colo., James Meehan of Warner, and five younger ones living at home. 

Mrs. Meehan was a devout member of the Catholic Church, a fond wife, a kind mother and a considerate neighbor. Her death will be sincerely mourned.
