A contemporary notice reports that Thomas Horan left his wife and one child without furniture, food or a home, and anticipates an almshouse admission. It supplies family circumstances, not a burial record.
Evidence, credit & reuse: Public domain in the United States: newspaper item published in 1885. The visible surname reads Horan. This is a historical newspaper allegation; Anna is not named in the crop. Her identification and later Blake Street burial depend on the linked modern research, not this notice. No original issue page was acquired.

A Cruel Husband. Thomas Horan, a painter living at the upper end of Congress avenue, yesterday sold all his furniture and left town, leaving his wife and one child without a home or anything to eat. They stopped at a neighbor’s last night, and will probably be admitted to the almshouse to-day. Source note: transcription checked against reproduced clipping. The crop has no masthead, page number or date. September 23, 1885 and the newspaper title are supplied by the reproducing researcher; verify against the complete issue before formal newspaper citation.
