Arthur Hurley, the esteemed pastor of
st. Joseph's church, died at his resi-
dencc here on July "a, at o'clock in
the afternoon. He had been ailing for
a number of years. and although re-
lieved from the ardnous duties of the
parish by Father Cowley, his consttu-
ton was so impaired by illness that
he finally succumbed to the strain. lie
was taken i'll Sunday. June Is, but not
seriously until Saturday. July "a, when
he unexpectedly passed away. in sptc
or the earnest efforts OF the best medical
attendance. Having weathcrcd so many
gales his parshoncrs. though attentive
ana sympathetic, were not alarmed,
and the announcement of his death
came as Il shcrk to all and cast a gloon
over the entire parish and surrounding
country. He was about SO years of
age, was born in the County Cork. Ire
land, was ordained Il priest, coming to
this country in 1869. He had been par
lsh priest in several parishes in The
state, coming from Austin to this pa~
ISL i'll 1881 and officiating as pastor
ever since. His death will be keenly
felt by all who knew him, and his ia
miliar figure upon the altar of our
church will be sadly missed by the pco-
pie of this parish. 1t is safe to say :hat
no parish in the arch Gc"ese of st. Paul
has been more fortunate in having a
truly good priest than that of Rose
mount, and that Father Hurleys priest

evidenced by the large throng OF poo
