IN good works and memorable acts of chart
Y which will not soon be forgotten. Not

out BY our citizens in general, who, while
protesting . different creed, had ever q
happy welcome for him. Father O'Neil
was born in the county Of Kerry, ireland,
on the 18th Of October, 1890, and died at
I'VE o'clock yesterday afternoon, in the
eightieth year of his age. He came to Sa-
vannah about thirty-seven years ago, and
was, up to the time of the appointments of
:. =. Garland, first Bishop Of this Diocese,
OF the Church in this city. Within the
past few years, on account Of his advanced
fstate Of hfe, his active duties as q minister |
Of the Gospel were considerably curtailed. |
Up t0within ten days, the deceased has |
enjoyed his usual good health. Though |
siling ct times, nothing serious was appre-
hended until within the past three days,
when it was observed by his attending
physician that q general prostration of the
system had taken place, consequent upon
his old age. The body has been laid out
in the sacred vestments of the deceased,
and embalmed, preparatory to its transfer
from ho RfohOn5n IN, %bo |
dral Of st. John the Baptist, where it will
remain until borne to it's final resting place
in the Cathedral Cemetery. Right Rev.
Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, a protege of
Father O'Neirs has been telegraphed for,
and will leave fer Savannah this morning

ceased. Bishop Quinlan, of Mobile, has
also been autographed for, and will pro- ,
baby be in attendance upon the burial
services, as would the distinguished I
Fathers of the Church throughout the i
States, but for the absence of
