1930 Obituary for Thomas Kavanagh

[unknown newspaper]

Pioneer Dies

Death claimed another of our oldest and most esteemed pioneers of the Rainy River district when Mr. Thomas Kavanaugh passed away at his home about three miles east of Pinewood on Thursday last.

Mr. Kavanaugh was one of the first to settle on a farm on the banks of the Rainy River many years ago. We understand that he was something over eighty years of age. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife and also a grown up family, who have the sympathy of the whole community in their sad bereavement.

Mr. Kavanaugh had been very feeble for the past two years. The funeral service was held at the Roman Catholic Church, Stratton, on Saturday last, where interment took place. A large crowd of sorrowing friends attended the funeral.
