The Newtown bee. (Newtown, Conn.) 1877-current, 1889-01-18

The people of Newtown were greatly
shocked, Monday afternoon, to hear of
the death of Rev James McCartan, pas
tor of st. Rose church. Father Nc
Cartan was born In Ireland, but came as
n boy to America. After a course in the
grammar schools of New Haven, he en-
tered st. Charles college at Ellicott City,
Md. At the Sulpitian Seminary of st.
Mary, Baltimore, Father McCartan COM
pleted his course of philosophy and
theology. Among the eminent men who
studied with him may be mentioned
Cardinal Gibbons; Bishop Keane, rector
of the Washington university; Arch
bishop Gross of Oregon; DIR Chapelle
of Washington and many others. After
being ordained, Father McCartan was
for some time assistant to Bishop Nc
Farland at the cathedral, Providence.
Thence he was transferred to st. Peters,
Hartford, where he labored Zealously
for two years. Then came promotion
to st. Andrews, Colchester, where, rs
pastor, he endeared himself to all, ire
spective of creed. His labors in the
parish of Colchester and missions were
appreciated and duly rewarded and the
name of Father James McCartan will be
ever held In deep veneration by his old
parishioners of Colchester. In the month
of August, 1873, Father McCartan was
promoted to the parish of st. Rose, New
town. From the beginning of his pas
torate, he made friends among all classes
of people In Newtown. Father McCartan
was true gentleman in the best sense
OF the word. But he was more, a sim
cere Christian, with heart full of love
and charity for all mankind. The poor
ever found In him friend in the fullest
meaning of the word. TO say that Father
McCartan had gained the respect and
esteem of his fellow citizens is to put II
feebly. With all creeds and classes, he
was always afiable and kind. How he
was beloved by his own people, no words
can tell. He ruled his flock with rule
OF love and kindness. Until broker
down by disease, he was n most earnest
untiring worker in his Masters vine
yard. Even when sick, he endeavoret
to assist In the work of the ministry
His last public service was on the frs
day of the new year, when, sitting in thu
confessional, he spoke words of conso
lation and encouragement to his goo'
people.
Though ailing for a long time, nothing
serious was feared until the morning o
his death. lie calmly asked for the sac
raments of the Church and, bestowini
his blessing on all his people and friends
he calmly fell asleep in the Lord.
IL was the cherished wish of his hear
to be buried In the ehurch-yard, near
the beautiful temple he had spent hi
best years In erecting and in the midst {
the people he loved so well. Father Nj
Cartan's life work is over. she fougl
the good fight, he kept the faith; no
he has finished his course and gone
his eternal reward" His host of frient
will know him no more on earth, bl

PASTOR AND PRIEST.

James McCartan, born in Ireland 81
wears ago, came to America with his or
phaned brothers and sisters, grew to
manhood, worked his way through col
lege with such assistance as they could
give him and was ordained to the priest
hood % years ago. Colchester was his
first charge and from there he was plac-
ed over several parishes, coming to New
town about Is years ago.
Here he labored with zeal and earnest
ness, loving hts flock and beloved by
them. Through his ministrations, the
parish increased in strength and power
and, through his efforts, a parochial resi-
dence was built, then the building called
st. Patrick's hall, In which, for time,
week day services were held, while the
new church was being built; then, the
browning work Of his life, the splendid
edifice which bears the name of st. Rose
church and which was built through his
efforts, aided by the generosity Of his
people. who, inspired by such an exam
ole as he set, could do no less. WheI
the corner stone was laid, the member
ship Of the church was given at 500; nov
Il IA about 1900.
No priest could have more fully enjoy

or better deserved such trust, than he

Wednesday night and those who entered
the church, Thursday, found it appro.

around the gallery were streamers Of
mingled white and black, signifying
grief for the dead priest, mitigated by
the thought of heavenly purity ano
bliss. The white pillars were woune
| with broad bands of black and rosettes
of black and white were fastened at eacl
post. The organ loft was also draped il

The nation today by wise observ-
ance does universal homage to the
valor and patriotism of the dead sol
diers. Well and fitting is this testi-
monial of remembrance, and while re-
membering the virtues of the dead,
let us not forget the living. Among
US are thousands upon thousands of
survivors equally deserving, who join
us to-day in respectful and loving
homage to the departed comrades,
and deserve at the hands of the ma
ton and the individual citizen, the
earnest, tenderest and most grateful
and liberal consideration in all partic-
ulars. All honor to the memory of
those :'who sleep the sleep that knows
no wakiag," for this is all We can de
for them; but the living, moving,
equally valiant survivor, for his few
remaining years should have some
more substantial testimonial from the
nation and its citizens. His pathway,
thorny and hard, should be smOothed
and made more pleasant; kind atten-
tons and words should be his from
all, and ample provision for his susie
nance at the hands of the nation his
deeds preserved are proper due from
its untold wealth.
