WEXFORD.
| We regret to announce the death OF
Mr.. Thomas Kehoe, of "The Cap" En-
niscorthy, which took place on Jan. 10.
The deceased had reached a ripe old age,
and went to his grave without an TN
kindly memory clinging to his life. He
was brother Of the Very Rev. Philip
Kehoe, o. S. F., Wexford, and father
of Sister Mary Xavier, Presentation Con-
vent, Enniscortly. Up to year ago,
MIR. Kehoe was blessed with excellent
health, and his splendid vigor and phys
ique were envied by men of half his
years. The large attendance at his funeral
on the 18th to Glenbrien churchyard
bore striking testimony to the esteem
and affection with which he was regarded
by the people of the parish in which he
lived, and of the inhabitants of Ennis
corthy.
