  	The death of Johanna Madigan of Plymouth on November 15, 1899, at the advance age of 73, removes a well known and respected pioneer of this county. Johanna was born in County Carlow, Ireland, to parents James and Bridget (Cavanagh) Powers. In 1850 her family immigrated to Canada where she met and married Patrick Madigan. They farmed 500 acres in Beckwith Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. On April 1880 the entire family immigrated to the Dakota Territory. There they filed for land that was part of the renowned Griswold Gold mine. Before there was a Catholic Church in the area, some of the first Masses were said in the Madigan cabin. Johanna lived to see the county develop from a wilderness to rich and fertile farmland, railroads, mills, churches, and schools. Preceded her in death was her beloved husband Patrick Madigan in 1894. Deceased was the mother of James, John and Dennis Madigan, all well know citizens and farmers; and three daughters, Mrs. Ed (Catherine) Roach and Mrs. William (Ellen) Kidd both of Plymouth, and Mrs Dick (Mary) Simpson, now of Montana. The funeral occurred from St. Aloysius Catholic Church on Friday and the remains followed to the cemetery by a large procession of sympathizing neighbors and friends.
