There is nothing in the newspaper noting the first name of this person. However, I found the obit by the listing of Owen McCabe buried in St. Mary's cemetery index. This obit was from the original Tornado newpaper which is in very poor condition. The year of birth appears to read as 1829, but is very faded. The age "64" seems clear, but does not compute if he was born in 1829 and died in 1891.
