Obituary..

1t is with feelings of sorrow and
regret that we chronicle the death of
NJ. P. Faherty, who was killed in
KaySer yard, on Monday. Feb. 18th.
He had only been firing six weeks.
He was model young man, and
wherever he was known was held in
high esteem, as the large number of
people who followed his remains to
their long. last resting place fully
attested his jovial disposition. He
was a good Christian, and was al
ways ready to help the needy and af-
flicted. His funeral took place on
Wednesday, Feb. 10Th from ST.
Peters Catholic Church, followed l'y
large number of sympathizing
friends and weeping relatives.
And the tears that we shed were warm ones
that fell
AS we kissed and caressed thee in one long
farewell;
When we saw the calrp smile on thy placid,
dead face.
And In aihe cold grave his once lithesome
FORM lies,
For Deaths chilling breath closed those
bright, laughing eyes;
And he sleeps the sweet sleep now Of peace
and of rest.
Now the grave is closed DER him, the reqai-
ems are said.
And lowly he is laid in his lone, narrow bed ;
One more rests lion. side the dead of other
years,
And the fresh sod is wet with our hot, blind
Ing tears.
A FRIEND.
