Father Meagher preached tine sermon,
and paid an eloquent tribute to the charac-
ter Of the deceased. He referred to him as
a model citizen, regular attendant at
church and good husband and father,
who had been called away by the will of
God. He was man who did not seek the
applause of his fellow-men in this life, but
rather strove to obtain that eternal happi.
ness hereafter which the Creator had prom
lsed was always in store for him who
speaketh the truth and befriendeth the
poor.
After the services at the church were
concluded the funeral procession moved to
the Catholic Cemetery, where the remains
were inferred. At the grave the choir sang
Thy Will Be Done" "De Profundis'' and
"Our Father" There was an additional
ceremony by the several priests while the
beautiful casket, covered with flowers, was
lowered into the grave.
TRIBUTE TO HIS MEMORY.
AT meeting of the Iroquois Club last
evening the following resolutions of respect
to the memory of the late Captain Thomas
OWyer were ADOPTED:
WHEREAS. The removal from the earthly scene
of his labors and usefulness of one so justly dis
tiDguished and SO widely beloved as was Cap
tain Thomas Dwyer, calls for an expression of
affection and esteem from his associates in this
club, which they desire to put on record.
with scrupulous sense of the high value of
integrity and the majesty of truth, he dis
charged with fidelity his every duty, his every
trust. Simple as child and tender-hearted as
woman, in matters affecting himself he was
keenly and jealousy regardful of the public
welfare. and in the maintenance of sound policy
and great principles he was bold, firm and I'M
compromising. Nevar was friend more true,
more cordial, more self-sacrifcing than was
Captain Dwyer.
His friendship was as discriminating as help
full, anC as inspiring as it was pure and con-
slant. With soul too sincere to entertain sus-
piclon, and purity of mind which excluded
evil, there was a natural frankness with his
friends, and transparency of motive and feel
Ing as charming as it was rare. We may not
invade the sanctlties OF the home to speak of
him as husband and father, or undertake to de-
p1ct his private life. Suffice it to say that,
throughout his long career as an active bust
ness man in this community, he evinced a
faithful devotion to the public interests which
marked MIN as one of the most useful men in
the community.
To assist the needy offer consolation to the
distressed, and to contribute to the happiness of
others, was always a pleasure to him: and
many sufferer will miss his always ready,
bountiful and cheerful aid.
AS his memory is precious to all who associ-
ated with him, so it is specially dear to this
body, of which he was so important and hon.
ored member. We lament his death as dear
and cherished friend; therefore. be it
Resol,ed, That this memorial be entered in tie
Re OF this club and that copy be sent to
the bereaved family of the deceased.
