Biography
John O'Day, born in 1856, lived by the traditions of the Saint Francis Catholic parish and sought to reflect the values of faith, family, and service in his daily life. He balanced the demands of labor with the responsibilities of parish life, providing hospitality to newcomers and a ready ear to anyone facing hardship.
His gentle spirit and devotion to the church are remembered by the faithful, and the Saint Francis Catholic Cemetery marks the resting place of a man who brightened both sacraments and simple neighborly moments.
