OBU UARY.
Rev. John II. Dunn.

Rev. John Patrick Dunn, pastor of St. Johns
Catholic Church, Thirteenth street, above Ches-
nut, died at the parochial residence adjoining
the church yesterday afternoon, after short
illness. He had been for many years subject to
a palpitation of the heart and for the past week
he has been especially feeble, showing symp-
toms of increasing malady from a complication
of causes, and on Sunday last he was so DANCE
rously i'll that prayers were offered for his re-
covery in several of the churches. He con-
tinued to grow worse during all Sunday night
and Monday, and yesterday afternoon death put
an end to his su1ierings
Father Dunn was clergyman much respected,
and was one of the Oldest priests in the Diocese
of Philadelphia. He was born in the city of
Dublin, Ireland, in the year 1905, and was edu-
Gated at the celebrated Maynooth College. He
was ordained priest by Archbishop Murray, of
Dublin, and after being on the mission in Ire
land for several years. he came to this country
when quite young man. and locating in Phila-
delphia, he was stationed at st. Mary's
Church, Fourth street, above Spruce where he
was associated with Very Rev. DR.. Bauer (the
them Father Peter Richard Kenrick now Arch
bishop of st. Louis, Right Rev. Francis Patrick
Kenrick, Chem coadjutor Bishop of Philadel-
phia, and other dignitaries of the Catholic
Church. He built the Church of st. Philip de
Neri, on Queen street, above Second, and being
its pastor during the memorable riots of 1874 he
made a narrow escape with his life from the in
furiated mob.
He subsequently went South, and on his return
to Philadelphia was appointed pastor of the
Church of st. Charles Borromeo at Kelyville,
subsequently of st. Teresas, Broad and Catha-
rine street. and finally of st. Johns.
AS an extempOre speaker Farher Dunn had
but few equals, and the eloquence of his sermons
on Sunday afternoons, with the instruction to be
derived from them by his flock, caused an at
tendance at vespers at st. Johns which could
not be found in any other church of the diocese.
He was a man of great firmness of character,
and unusually dignifed. He was member OF
the Bishops Ordinary Council, and his opinions
carried with them weight and significance
While the entire Catholic community will
mourn his loss, the congregation of st. Johns
will, in particular manner, regret his decease.
as that church was the scene of his more recent
active labors in this diocese.
