OBITUARY ---------------

OWEN McGARVEY

Redwood City Democrat

April 22, 1897

All that was mortal of the late Owen McGarvey was laid to rest in Union Cemetery last Sunday, his long siege of illness having terminated in death Thursday night. The funeral took place from the hall of San Mateo Lodge No. 16S F & M of which the deceased was an honored member, and under whose auspices it was conducted. In addition to the ceremony of the order, Rev. F.H. Maar spoke a few words of religious consolation. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful and a very large attendance attested the high esteem in which the departed was held in the community, where he had lived more than forty years. He was a native of New York aged 67. He leaves a sister, Mrs. Leonard, two daughters, Miss Lottie McGarvey and Mrs. J. W. Bell, and two sons W J. and Henry.
