Say not good night. but In some nap
pier cline bid me good morning.
Theodore Walsh. whose sad death we
chronicled a short time ago, and VINO met
his sad fate by falling from his train pc
ing instantly killed was the son OF the
late James and Anna Walsh. born az
(lttleton. January 13. 1875 and lived IN
that town until four years ago. he moved
TO this city with his mother ana sister
where he lived until he received the sum
mons that his life work was complete.
Death has surely passed over the sllVery
heads and taken the youth. There is
something peculiarly sad in the carry
death of this worthy young man, pelhg
the only support of his widowed mother
and sister, who needed his loving care
and assistance and TO cheer them on their
tourney through life. Called in the early
spring time of y juth and purity caIled'
when he had a mission TO perform IN look
ing after those entrusted TO his core. we
cannot understand 1t to-day but by the
light of future years, when the day
breaks. and the shadows flee away, we
shall know and understand II all. one
thing we do know, God doeth all things
we'll"
The deceased was an exemplary young
man. an example of Christian piety. lie
was a universal faVorite with his COM
panions. Had only lived here rev sum
mers, vet he had gained popularity that
few young men attain in community.
His genial disposition won for him host
of friends. In conversation with friend
a few days previous TO his death. ne re
marked his income was not sufficlent 10
keep his mother and sister as he would
like TO, and in view of this fact, he car
ried sufficient insurance TO take care OIL
them in case of death. This illustrates
the thoughtful dutiful disposition of the
deceased. He was noted for his Kindness
TO his friends and his cheerfulness at
home. Death has found shining target
Youthful manhood has been denied long
Of hriu
ity has set at monday. How sadly will he
be missed. not only in the home circle, but
among his friends, yet To live in hearts
you leave behind 1t MOTTO die" Thus up
on the threshold of early manhood. death
has closed a beautiful life-the life of
Christian. and one that is worthy Of imi-
tation. What more beautiful eulogium
can one have? He was a kind. dutiful
SON. a dear brother. a sincere friend and
leaves behind him to mourn his loss and
cherish his memory, his mother, sister
and three brothers. To them the SYM
pathy of the entire community goes out
in full measure.
The many beautiful floral offerings that
covered the snow white casket of the de-
ceased. not only from the orders he be-
longed to, but from individual parties,
held. The bunch of pure white lilies.
which rested on his breast were symbol
ical of the purity within. The solemn re-
QUEEN mass was sung by Rev. Father Nc
Geligot and responded to by Mrs. James
Moran. At the close of the mass Father
McEiligot paid a deserved and beautiful
tribute TO the deceased. He was buried
under the auspices of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, with the B. r. T. and A.
o. u w, who attended in a body, and
marched to the cemetery and
there with reluctant hands consigned the
remains to the grave. amid hosts of sor-
sowing friends.
Farewell dear brother. but not forever,
There shall be a glorious dawn.
We shall met and know each other
on the resurrection morn.
