DANIEL MALONEY.

"Poor Dan! So he has gone at last" was the exclamation of many when it was known that Daniel Maloney, for nearly a score of years town clerk and collector for Fairfield, had died at his home in Mill Plain, Sunday morning, at the age of 45. He had never married and his home was with his aged father, Pat rick Maloney. He has been cared for by his sister Kate, the only survivor of a family of five, the mother having died short time ago. Bessie, Mary, Annie and Michael have died. "Dan," as everyone called him, was one of the most popular men of Fairfield. He was genial, warm hearted and accommodating trihe too lenient, perhaps, at times, as town off cer Che was constable also.) He had suf- fered with an abscess of the brain for be- tween three and four years, but had con- tinued to perform his duties as long as possible. The abnormal growth told on his mind and he became almost helpless, mentally. He has since improved, but has remained at his fathers house. Fri day afternoon, he received stroke of paralysis, rendering him helpless and speeches.. He never recovered and died early Sunday morning. The funeral was largely attended on Tuesday, high mass being celebrated ut St. Thomas church by the pastor, Rev T. J. Coleman. A long cortege followed the remains to their last resting place at St. Thomas cemetery.
