OBITUARY OF TV GOLDEN FROM O'NEILL PAPER:
DEATH COMES TO A PIONEER--T. V. GOLDEN
In the passing of T[homas]. V[incent]. Golden, O'Neill has lost one
of its most prominent citizens. For forty-five years he has been an
important factor in the shaping of affairs in O'Neill. Always a man
of keen foresight and faith in the community, he undoubtedly had more
to do with the building up of the business district than any other
individual.
Up to a few weeks before his death he took an active interest in
civic and educational affairs, having been at different times member
of the school board, city councilman and was mayor of O'Neill from
May 1914 to May 1915.
Thomas Vincent Golden was born in Davenport, Iowa, December 22, 1853;
and spent his boyhood in Iowa and Illinois.
He was married September 2, 1881, to Annie Beck, at Mount Ayr, Iowa,
moving to O'Neill in 1883, where he resided until his death.
Mrs. Golden preceded him to eternity twelve years ago.
Few were aware of the seriousness of his condition until hearing of
his death Sunday morning. The end came in St. Joseph's hospital
where, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. F. J. Dishner, he had gone
for treatment ten days previous.
His remains were brought to O'Neill Sunday night and after a requiem
Mass at St. Patrick's church at nine o'clock Wednesday morning he was
laid to rest in Calvary cemetery.
The pall bearers were: Active, J. F. O'Donnell, J. B. Ryan, S. J.
Weeks, J. A. Donohoe, R. R. Morrison, M. H. McCarthy. Honorary, T.
F. Birmingham, R. R. Dickson, John Carr, J. B. Mellor, Pat Stanton,
John A. Robertson, M. F. Harrington, John Harmon.
He is survived by a brother, John Golden, of Creston, Iowa, a sister,
Mrs. Sarah Hammond, of O'Neill, and the following children: J.
P[urnell]. Golden, Casper, Wyoming; Mrs. Peter. F. Morgan [Lily], of
Atkinson; Mrs. I[van]. J. Kinsman [Bernice], of Columbus, Nebraska;
C[lear]. C. Golden, of Cheshire, Connecticut, and Mrs. F[rank]. J.
Dishner [Martina], M[ax]. J. Golden and [granddaughter by Martina]
Miss Miriam Golden, of O'Neill, Nebraska.
All of the children were present at the funeral services.
Northeast Nebraska will keenly feel the loss of T. V. Golden.
