GRANNAN, ANNA JANUARY 26, 1917

The Bourbon News, Paris, KY 26 Jan. 1917
The funeral of Mrs. Anna Grannan, aged 85, who died at her 
residence on Main Street, in this city, after a short 
illness of pneumonia, will be held at the Church of the 
Annunciation this Friday morning.

Mrs. Grannan was the widow of Mr. Joseph Gannon, who was a 
well known resident of Paris. Mr. Grannan preceded his wife 
to the grave in February, 1897.

Mrs. Grannan was a native of County Roscommon, Ireland, 
where she was born on October 19, 1832. She was the daughter 
of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Walsh, and emigrated from the old 
country to America in the early days. She was married to Mr. 
Grannan in Maysville, coming to Paris in 1860.

Mrs. Grannan was a woman of remarkable mentality and one of 
her chief pleasures in her later days was to have friends 
call and tell her of the important news happenings of the 
day, both at home and abroad.

She is survived by the following children: William Grannan, 
Miss Elizabeth Grannan both of Paris, Miss Mary Grannan and 
Mr. Edward Grannan both of Cincinnati, and Mr. Joseph 
Grannan, of Kansas City, Mo., all of whom were at her 
bedside when the end came.
