Sarah (Davidson) Ahern Mrs. James Ahern died at Tiburon Friday morning after a very short illness. She is the wife of Jimmie Ahern, the engineer on the California Northwestern railway. She was taken sick Thursday afternoon while Ahern was at Mirabel with the picnickers. He was the engineer on the picnic train. From news received here it seems that about time Ahern blew his engine whistle to encourage the racers on the track his wife was being seized by a fatal sickness. She leaves a husband and 2 little children besides brothers and sisters, as follows: James Davidson of Yreka; Mrs. George Sullivan; Misses Ella, Clara, Ruby, and Mary Davidson. Her mother died about a year and half ago. Mrs. Ahern was well known here, where she had resided and her many friends will learn with regret of her demise. It is thought probable the funeral will be held here. Who Caused Her Death -- The Bulletin says: With her lips sealed as to who gave her the medicine which caused her death, Mrs. SARAH AHERN of Tiburon died suddenly Friday. The circumstances surrounding the case are such that arrest may follow the investigation made by the coroner. Mrs. Ahern is the wife of J. Ahern, who is connected with the California Northwestern railroad, and in the little town of Tiburon had always commanded the respect of all who knew her. Friday morning she was taken suddenly ill and Dr. Florence Scott of Belreden was sent for. The physician discovered that the case was very serious and at once sent for Dr. Dollischon. The two did what was possible to relieve the sufferer, but she died in a few hours after they were called in. Before her death Dr. Scott endeavored to get the patient to tell who was guilty of malpractice, but she would say nothing other than that a friend had given her medicine. After her death, however, Mr. Ahern found a small box and some cards bearing the name of Mrs. J.A. Achard of 415a Third Street, San Francisco. Coroner Eden was notified and held an inquest. The facts as above stated were brought out, and Dr. W.J. Wickman, the coroner's physician made an autopsy, finding that the woman was a victim of malpractice and that death was due to septicema. James Ahern, the husband, remembered seeing Mrs. Shiland visiting his wife. Mrs. Shiland was called as a witness, and was put through a rigid examination. She admitted calling on Mrs. Ahern, but denied giving her any medicine or attending her. This is the second time she has been called before the coroner's jury. Three years ago she was a witness in a San Francisco case. The jury was given the case and returned a verdict that Mrs. Ahern came to her death from blood poisoning, due to causes unknown. Mrs. Ahern was a native of Petaluma, aged 31 years. [see also: Agnes Jane Ahern, Henry M. Ahern ] — The Marin Journal 16 May 1901

Frank J. Ahern Frank J. Ahern, a patrolman of the Tenth police district, is dead from an accident so singular that it is doubtful if a similar one ever happened. His revolver, which he carried in his right hip pocket, was discharged by his night stick as he tossed it over his shoulder. The bullet lodged in his right leg. Blood poisoning ensued and he died. The accident occurred on the night of Sept. 5. Ahern had gone to a patrol box at Euclid and Fountain avenue to ring in. As he was standing at the box with the receiver at his ear, he swung his night stick and rapped on the pavement. As the stick rebounded he gave it a toss over his right shoulder. The end struck the hammer of his revolver. It was discharged and the bullet struck him in the leg. The shock caused him to fall. Although suffering greatly, he drew himself up to the box and sent in an ambulance call, after which he reported to his sergeant what had happened and was relieved. The ambulance took him to the City Hospital. He remained there a week and then as he seemed to be improving he was taken to the home of his mother, Mrs. Margaret Ahern, at 3042 Cass avenue. Ahern was rapidly recovering when a few days ago, blood poisoning set in and he died on Monday at noon. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Eva Ahern, and three sisters and five brothers. Patrolman Ahern had been on the force five years. Until three weeks before the accident he was in the Ninth district. His home was at 2627 Dickson street. He was 27 years old. The funeral will take place Wednesday morning from St. Bridget's Church to Calvary Cemetery. Services will be conducted by Rev. Father Carney. — St. Louis Post-Dispatch 11 October 1904

MRS. O'HERN'S FUNERAL. ——— Held From St. Bonaventure's Church, Allegany, This Morning. This morning from St. Bonaventure's church, Allegany, occurred the funeral of the late Mrs. Ellen O'Hern, widow of the late Patrick O'Hern of this city. The solemn requiem mass was celebrated at 10 o'clock, the Very Rev. T. F. Hickey, vicar general of the diocese of Rochester, preaching the sermon. Burial was made in the Catholic cemetery near the church. Yesterday the solemn requiem high mass was celebrated at St. Elizabeth's church, South Sharon, by her four sons, assisted by the neighboring clergy. Her six sons acted as pall bearers. The church was filled by sorrowing relatives and friends. In his sermon today at St. Bonaventure's church Father Hickey said: “Mr. and Mrs. O'Hern were among the pioneers, who by labor and money assisted materially in erecting the first buildings of St. Bonaventure's college, in which later their first son was raised to the holy priesthood. It is worthy of note that the early priests of St. Bonaventure's, among whom were the present apostolic delegate, Most Rev. Dionide Folconio, were frequent visitors at the O'Hern home. Mrs. O'Hern had a great love for this church and for the Franciscan Fathers and for upwards of fifty years was a devoted member of the Third Order of St. Francis.” “Christmas 1904, her third son was ordained priest by Rt. Rev. B. J. McQuaid at Rochester. On the following day she had the peculiar happiness of witnessing solemn high mass at St. Patrick's cathedral, celebrated by her four sons and two nephews of the same name, Rev. Maurice and William O'Hern.” At this time Very Rev. Father Hickey spoke most eloquently of her queenly place among women, as the mother of three priests and a fourth one near ordination. “Such is the life of one of God's choicest women. Always humble, unassuming and kind towards everyone, she had a solid faith and piety that made her brave any and every sacrifice for the sake of her religion. Though mother of so many vocations, she was never known by a single word to influence any of her children in making a choice in life. Her part was prayer and example, the rest she left to God.” Mrs. O'Hern was a remarkable woman in many ways. She was born at Daugh, county Kerry, Ireland. In the year 1839, her maiden name being Ellen Casey. She came to this country in the year 1850, when 11 years old. In June, 1857, she was married to her late husband at Cuba, N. Y.

Captain Ahern was taken ill last Thursday while at work at the National Biscuit company's factory and had to be taken home. He returned to work Saturday morning, but was again forced to quit at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and never rallied from his illness, due to stomach troubles and complications. A resident of St. Joseph for the past twenty three years, during all of which time he was employed at the factory of the National Biscuit company, of recent years as a foreman of the candy department, Captain Ahern was very well, especially in secret society circles. BORN IN IRELAND Born in Ireland June 1, 1849 and came to the United States at the age of 6 months. He lived for some time in the east and when he came to St. Joseph went to work at once for what was then the Sommer-Richardson factory, since merged into the cracker trust. He came to St. Joseph twenty three years ago (1882) to enter the employ of F. I. Somers who was then engaged in running the biscuit factory now owned by the National Biscuit company. He is survived by his widow, one son and one daughter. The daughter is Mrs. Joseph Theissen, a resident of St. Joseph, who was born of his first marriage. Harry A. Matthews is his stepson. For nearly twenty years he had been a member of the Pocahontas Tribe No. 10 I.O.R.M. During the years from 1898 to 1900 inclusive, he as captain of the Wa-Ga-Sa-Nu-Da-Han-Ga degree team, famous throughout the United States for its degree work. This team made trips to different parts of the country to be present at big initiations. He was regarded as one of the finest degree workers in the country. HOLDER OF HIGH OFFICE From 1898 to 1900 Captain Ahern was great Sachem of Missouri, the highest office of the order in the state. The widow and several children survive. The following honorary pallbearers have been chosen, all of whom are past grand sachems of Missouri: David Daniels, Jacob Wickenhoeffer, John D. Flint, William B. McNutt, John Dobler, and August Heschong. The active pallbearers, selected from among the younger members of Pocahontas Tribe, will be J.V. Dewey, Charles Matthews, Peter Roesler, William Wolff, Q. Cole, and C.F. Keller. The funeral will be from the wigwam of Pocahontas Tribe No. 10. I.O.R.M. Fifth and Edmond streets, at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.

William "Willie" O'Hearn A distressing and unfortunate accident happened at the Walhonding railroad crossing, on Main street, early Monday morning that cost William O'Hearn his life. He was coming to town in a single buggy and as he approached the Walhonding railroad a freight train came along going south. After the engine crossed the street the horse slowly approached the passing train. Suddenly the animal shied and turned down along the track in the same direction the train was going. After proceeding about thirty feet a switch light was encountered and the buggy became entangled in the brace rods. The train was between the only spectator, G.F. Raby, and the unfortunate lad, but it is thought that the lad was thrown against the side of the rear cars of the train. When the train had passed the boy was picked up and carried to the waiting room. He was living, but unconscious, the skull being crushed in just above the left ear. Later he was carried to the home of John Mutchler where he died in the afternoon. He was born in Jefferson township, Knox county, July 22nd, 1897, and was aged 9 years, 6 months and 26 days. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church, Wednesday morning at ten o'clock conducted by Father Ryan. Interment in the Catholic cemetery.
