FUNERAL OF JOSEPH BRENNAN.
st. Patricks church was filled yes
| terday morning with sorroWing friends
of the late Mr. Joseph Brennan, who
died at his residence on Franklin street
on Christmas eve. There seemed
something particularly fitting in his
| ldhlIlS away Oll Tire eve VI tlAS ohS''S
Christmas festival, for which for so
many years he had prepared the music,
and it seemed as though the echo OF
the angels Song" which for thirty
years he had so faithfully rehearsed on
that eveng, must have come to COM
fort him.
Mr.. Brennan was born in Bridgeport,
and was an organist from his four
teenth year. He was the first Ameri-
can born musician who became organ
ist in this diocese, which is no small
praise
| Mr.. Brennan was of a most retiring
disposition, especially devoted to home
and family, true friend, kind neigh
br, a devout Catholic, charitable, but
in every act particularly unostenta-
tious. He was particularly fond of
children, and to his widow and large
family the sincerest sympathy is eX-
tended for the loss of him whose life
had been one of devotion to them, 20
duty and to musical culture. Seven
sons survive: Mr., Joseph Brennan, DR..
| A. K. Brennan, Linus Brennan, the Or
gasist; Samuel Brennan, HillhoGse
high school '97, and Masters Walter
and Stephen, and the Misses Agnes
and Alice Brennan.
Three brothers also survive: Messrs.
James and John Brennan of Bridge
port, and Edward Brennan Of South
| NorWalk.
At the solemn mass of requiem the
Father Russell was celebrant, Rev.
Father O'Connor, deacon, Rev. Father
| IN, TNo+ Iaa,,
> O'Connell, master of ceremonies. Rev.
Father Mulholand of st. Francis was
also present.
The music was particularly fine, for
when Mr.. Edward Mclaughlin, long a
member of st. Patrick's choir and an
intimate friend of the late organist,
had made arrangements st. Mary S
choir had kindly volunteered. Profess
sor Rice, organist of that church, Off
ciated in that capacity at ST. Patrick s
yesterday. Schmidt's mass was sung.
Miss Sullivan sang very sWeetly Come
Unto Me-; Edward Sheehan sang with
much expression Fear Not Me, O
Israeli THY Will Be Done" was
beautifully rendered by Misses Sull-
van and Ward, and Messrs. Sheehan
! anu lITdD. Inc CHORUS was very me.
| Those present from ST. Patrick's were
Misses Maggie Hogan, Anna Flood,
Nellie Brown, Mamie Maroney, Nellie
Conway, Josephine Conway, Misses
Murphy and Graham, and Messrs. Nc
Laughlin, Edward Brennan, organist;
John S. Bree, John Smith, Joseph H.
| Clark, George Fl. Smith, James Get
tings, William Tobin, William Casey
and John Kennedy, whose fine voices
rendered the services particularly i'm
pressive. Rev Father Russell paid a
merited tribute to Mr. Brennan. He
| first spoke of the certainty of death.
Many of his SMILES We're very beauti-
full. He pictured life as a stage. OF
| the chasms the pilgrim would meet,
and Of the One hand that was always
stretched forth over that abyss to help
those who would take it. Then he paid
a beautiful tribute to the thirty years
faithful service of Mr.. Brennan as or
| ganist and member of st. Patrick's,
of his big-hearted character, of his
humility, charity, devotion to family
and love for little children; of his
! qualities of mind and heart, of his
| clear Judgment, quiet life, devoid of
all pretence. He then spoke of the
promised reward, and that crown of
glory which had been promised to those
who had served Him as faithfully here
