circle where he will be most missed,
He is survived by his wife, one song

one, He was genial and sociable and
was possessed of a fund of native
Irish. wit which flashed out quite

keen were his other senses that
his lack of . vision was not partieu-
lady, noticeable. In religion he was 'a
Roman Catholic, He had never mar-
ried and is 'survived' by but one bro-
ther, with whom he had always liv-
ed,
The funeral took place on Monday
