Fanefal of Pat Shea,

The funeral of the late Pat Shea, Esq,
whose death at AIaryyille was noted in our
last issue, occurred yesterday evening from
the residence of the deceased's father-in law,
Mr. P. W. Ashe, and the appropriate fu
neral service WAS conducted at the Catholic
church, Rev Father Marion officiating,
with a large congregation in attend
andce. There was a large procession
of members of the Catholic Knights of
America, Irish Mutual Benevolent Society,
and Irish American Literary Society, all in
command of Mr.. F. J. Callan. The body
was taken possession of and buried by these
orders, to all of which deceased belonged.
The pail bearers were P. T. Mackey, Pryor
Brown, Dennis Gleason, Charles Douglas,
Thos. O'Conner, I. Murphy. The
remains were conveyed to the
Catholic cemetery, their final resting place,
followed by one of the largest funeral pro-
cessions ever seen in our streets.
The deceased was one of Knoxville's best
known young Irish fellow-citizens, with
bright promise of the future, and the es-
! TEEN in which he was held was manifested
by the very large turnout at the funeral,
not only of his own nationality but Others
J He was a son of our worthy and influential
townsman, Mr.. Martin Shea. He was mem
Der of the legal fraternity, and practieed at the
| Knoxville bar for some years, but early last
spring gave up his practice, and went to
assist his father and brother on their rail
road contracts, partly for the benefit of his
falling health. The change did not prove
beneficial, however, and he continually
wasted away until death came to his relief.

bereaved friends have the heart felt sympa
