Biography:
Anastasia was first married to James Conway and later to Patrick Cuskelly. She had two children with Patrick Cuskelly, Mary (or Mamie or Mae) and Anastassia. She also raised two Conway Children. A source from the Cuskelly side of the family claims these were not her children, They were either adopted or the children of her brother in law taken in by her. Of course they could have been Children of James Conway. The names from the obit below: Mrs H Mckeever is her daughter Anastassia, Mrs Sam Peterson of Altoona, Wis is Bridget Conway and Mrs. Theo Schweitzer is her daughter Mary.

Obituary:
PIONEER WOMAN CALLED HOME.
Early Monday morning at 1:30 o'clock a gentle soul after long, patient suffering, was relieved of all her pain, having quietly stolen away to a happier world.
Deceased, Mrs. Pat Cuskelly, mother of Mrs. H. Mckeever, of this city, with whom she had made her home for many years, was 75 years of age. She was born in Tipperary, Ireland, March 1st, 1841. When nine years old she came over to this country with the family, settling first in Wisconsin and later in Minnesota.
At the age of 17 she was married to James Conway and several years after her husband's death, was united in marriage on November 20, 1866, to Pat Cuskelly, who survives his wife.
In 1880 they came to North Dakota, making their home at Mandan for about three years, before moving to Dickinson. Mrs. Cuskelly had been an invalid for 36 years and was always given the most kind and considerate care by her daughter, Mars. Mckeever, and family, who regarded the aged lady with all love and respect.
Although sick, now and then, she was not seriously ill until she took to her bed the early part of last week. She passed away quietly and without apparent pain at 4:30 Monday morning. Toward the last she regained consciousness and was able to recognize different members of the family.
Funeral services were held at St. Patrick's cemetery. Mike McGinley, Pat McGinley, P. B. Corbett, Mike Drury, Chas. Nolan and John McAndress acted as pall bearers.
Deceased leaves besides her husband, and resident daughter, two other daughters, Mrs. Sam Peterson of Altoona, Wis., who arrived with her daughter, Florence, for the funeral, and Mrs. Theo. Schweitzer of Bingham Canyon, Utah, who was too ill to come, ten grandchildren and one great grandchild. A brother, John White, resides at Grand Forks, and two other brothers are at Neenah, Wis., and Waseca, Minn. A sister of Mr. Cuskelly, Mrs. D Hart, and son, Joe, of Ellendale, Minn., were also among the out of town relatives present at the funeral.
Deceased had a great number of friends here and the funeral was one of the largest ever taken place here. A wealth of flowers, from friends, including a pillow from the Lady Maccabee order, were offered in consolation. The bereaved ones are extended sincere sympathy in their loss.

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for the many kindnesses extended us during the illness and death of our mother and grandmother, Mrs. Pat Cuskelly, and also to thank especially the Lady Maccabees for their flowers and kind sympathy.
Mr. and Mrs. H. McKeever and family
Mrs. Sam Peterson
