Thelan. of Ladd, a week ago last Sunday, was born in County Waterford, Parish of Lismoor, Ireland, May 8, 1817. He came to this country, first stopping in La Salle, in early manhood.

Those surviving are: William Bernard of Dimmick, John Joseph and Phillip of Ladd, Mary Elizabeth Cahill of St. Edwards Neb, Ellen Alice Thelan of Ladd, Bridget Ann McDonald of Westfield, and Thomas Scanlan of St. Edwards, Neb. Mr Scanlan, at one time owned the very land that the greater portion of Ladd now stands upon but selling out at a handsome figure. He reinvested in Nebraska land and realized another jump. At the time of his death his property was estimated to be worth in the neighborhood of $75,000, consisting of land in Bureau and livingston counties, Illinois, and land in Nebraska. This property was left in equal shares to his children. The funeral was from the Catholic Church last Wednesday morning, Father Vitus of St. Bedes' College officiating. Interment in St. Vincent's Cemetery, La Salle, Where the earthy body of this faithful wife was laid away three years ago. The funeral was very largely attended.
