McKILLOP A Very Sad Death.—,,Sad indeed was the gloom that was cast over this com- munity on Monday, January 26th, when it became known that James, better known as Jimmie O'Loughlin, had passed away, although not unex- pectedly, as he had been in failing health for some time caused by a form of heart failure., Being born a short dfs'hfance from the farm on which he died, he spent all of his life in McKillop and had very many sterling qualities. Ever upright in his dealings it is truly said his word was as good as his bond, and never did charity knock at his door and was let go unheeded. Being of a very cheerful disposition, he was beloved by both young and old and never was he any happier than when lending a helping band to his neighbor. In the family circle he will be missed most of all as he was dearly cherished, and his loss is keenly felt. All that the 'best of medical aid and kind nursing could do was done, but in vain. God choose otherwise,, and his soul went to meet his Redeemer on above date. The funeral which was very largely attended took place on Wednesday to St. Coluntban, where requiem mass was sung by Rev. Father White, who was in constant attendance during his illness, and his body was laid to rest ie St. Columban cemetery. He leaves to mourn his loss his life part- ner, who was Mary Lavin, and two small children, viz., Jimmie, aged 11, and Bridget, nine years. The pall bearers were W. Manley, Pat Mc- Loughlin, J. Dietz, P. J. Johnston, W. Duffy and Jerry O'Hara.

McKILLOP A Very Sad Death.—,,Sad indeed was the gloom that was cast over this com- munity on Monday, January 26th, when it became known that James, better known as Jimmie O'Loughlin, had passed away, although not unex- pectedly, as he had been in failing health for some time caused by a form of heart failure., Being born a short dfs'hfance from the farm on which he died, he spent all of his life in McKillop and had very many sterling qualities. Ever upright in his dealings it is truly said his word was as good as his bond, and never did charity knock at his door and was let go unheeded. Being of a very cheerful disposition, he was beloved by both young and old and never was he any happier than when lending a helping band to his neighbor. In the family circle he will be missed most of all as he was dearly cherished, and his loss is keenly felt. All that the 'best of medical aid and kind nursing could do was done, but in vain. God choose otherwise,, and his soul went to meet his Redeemer on above date. The funeral which was very largely attended took place on Wednesday to St. Coluntban, where requiem mass was sung by Rev. Father White, who was in constant attendance during his illness, and his body was laid to rest ie St. Columban cemetery. He leaves to mourn his loss his life part- ner, who was Mary Lavin, and two small children, viz., Jimmie, aged 11, and Bridget, nine years. The pall bearers were W. Manley, Pat Mc- Loughlin, J. Dietz, P. J. Johnston, W. Duffy and Jerry O'Hara.
