Obituary:
James Hurley, 90-year-old retired Town Chilton farmer, died on Thursday morning at the St. Nicholas hospital in Sheboygan following a one-year illness.
He was born in Town Chilton on March 23, 1858 on the family homestead, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hurley. He attended rural public and schools and parochial schools. He came into possession of the 80-acre homestead on the death of his parents and operated it until 1916. He then sold the property of D. D. McHugh and retired to this city were he had lived since. For years he worked about here at odd jobs to relieve the monotony of retirement.
He was married to Miss Mary Carroll at St. Augustine church at Chilton. She and a new born infant died in 1897. Following her death he married Catherine Stack. She also preceded him in death.
Until ill health overtook him, Mr. Hurley had a keen mind and memory and could recall the details of many local events that dated back nearly three-quarters of a century.
The only immediate survivor is one brother, William of Wauwatosa. Several nieces and nephews also remain.
Funeral services will be at St. Augustine church, the Rev. Roland Ahearn will officiate and burial will be made in the church cemetery.
