firm be,np Limrick & Maroon, the junior part
ner being MIR. Thomas Marion. The firm was
popular and successful. and made money. On
October s, 1872. Mr.. Linrick was married to
Miss Rebeccs Ann. daughter Of Benedict and
Nancy Thomas By this marriage he had i've
children, all of whom survive him-Ann Eliza,
wife OF C. v. Mead; Ella, wife of James Went
worth; John W.; May. wife of Rev. A. L.
Sharpe, and Nina. The second wife died at
L.imrick Lawn, near this city. April p. 1877.
Mr., Limrick continued to sell goods until about
1s9, when he accepted the position of cashier
of the branch of the State Bank OF Missouri. In
1850. he established the banking house OF Linn
rick & Co.. the silent partner being Col. VIVA.
Moore. of Ray county. the father oil Mis-. W. d.
Rankin. Col. Moore dying about a year after
ward Mr.. Limrick continued the business In his
own name, until the war caused him to close it.
He re-opened it as soon Us the war ended, only
finally retiring In 1879. During the war he spent
a good deal of his time in New York. where he
WAS known rs y bold and skillful Spectator on
the gold board. His confidence in the ultimate
success of the confederate cause brought to him
many thousands Of dollars. some OF his friends
think us much as $3.50 600 at one time. but when
the tide turned the same confidence caused him
to lose u great deal of what he had gained.
Before the war, from 1852 to 1860, when he was
very successful in money making, he improved
what became and is still the most palatial resi-
dence and the prettiest home in l. fayette cOun-
ty, the house alone costing $50. 600. This build
ing. and the development OF The grounds. were
for many years his pride and pleasure.
1t is difficult to write of MIR. Limrlck without
calling up the forms OF his prominent contempt
raries, and reviewing something OF their acts.
but We can take space only to aliude to them.
Their names alone suggest much OF the history
OF Missouri. Among those who were his init
mates who are now dead were. Samuel Walker.

Mr.. Limrick was eminently a man of affairs.
Quiet aud undemn nstrative, methodlcal and
quick. he WAS correct in his habits, and the soul
OF integrity in all his transactions. He was q
firm friend, a kind husband, an indulgent and
loving iather. He was never known to turn
away empty handed a worthy applicant for
charity. Not letting his left hand know what
his right dispensed he constantly gave to the de-
serving poor. Always through life, even during
the power of the WING party IN this county, q
Sossh Nht So wac
yet no seeker after Office or notoriety, preferrlng
the even tenor of an unostentatious life. He
had many friends. all his life, fewer new ones
as one by one his contemporaries were gathered
to their fathers, but always the respect and
kindly feeling of all who knew him. Faithful
as husband, father. friend; true as citizen, Gen.
scientious as man.. he has gone to his reward.
