The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-12-09

In the midst of this work and direct
ly after the death of Rev. Edw "a
Farrelly, pastor of ST. Marys parish
in Milford, he was assigned by the
bishop of Boston to the Milford parish,
Aug. 49, 1857, and entered at once upon
his duties.
His work in Milford has been c%larac-
terized by the same qualities of men
tai and physical activity as in previous
fields. When he first took charge of
the parish he was called to minister to
residents extending from the borders Of
Worcester almost to Dedham and from
Marlboro to the Rhode Island border.
As these communities grew, parish af-
ter parish. was created until now the
prosperous parishes Of Hopl1inton, Hol-
liston, Ashland, Westboro, Upton, Med
way, Grafton, UXbrdge, Baskerville
and others show the extent of the par
ish and the great growth of his
church.
In his pastorate OF more than 40 years
in Milford, he saw its resources, influ-
ence and numbers doubled repeatedly.
He saw new parish after new parish
created, and still the parish of Milford
left with more than its original mem
bers and prosperity. He stimulated
his parishioners by his own activity,
and made the comparatively small par
ish noted for zeal, piety and liberality
He began to work for a new church
of the massive stone style he loved so
ell. and his energy soon produced
such material results that the first

stone of the present imposing edifice
was laid by Right Rev Bishop Will
liams now archbishop, and assisting
clergy and prelates, on June l, 1865.
The first mass in the new church was
celebrated Dec. %, 1870, and the church
was dedicated June 80. 1875, by Right
Rev. Bishop de Groesbriand of Yer
mont assisted by a large gathering of
clergy.
Within four years the church has
been completed with an imposing Lat
eran tower, III the top Of which two
fine bells are hung; a massive granite
tower erected III the new st. Mary
cemetery-a facsimile Of the famous
round towers of Glen-a-Lough, Ire
land; a new St Mary's cemetery laid
out for the increasing needs of the

RIGHTS QUESTIONED.
Can Grafton Public Property Be Used
Privately.

Grafton, Dec S-The high school
students and Professor George Rugg,
who organized history club Tuesday
evening in the consultation room of the
public library, and decided to hold
weekly meetings in the same room, are
having their right to 1.-THE use Of the
room questioned. The club is an ex-
elusive organization, and only for mem
bers, hence the question arose. 1t is
stated on good authority that the Sc
lectmen, the library committee, the
book committee and those desiring TO
consult books, are the only ones haV-
ing right to the use of the rooms at
present.
The reading room has for some time
been used by Miss Brigham for edca-
tional purposes, other than those for
which it was especially intended, and
no objection has arisen, but on the adj
vent Of a second society desiring TO
use public rooms for private purposes,
the right of either to the rooms is being
questioned. 1t is only by the permls-
sion of the library committee mat such
organizations can use the rooms, and
such permission VIII probably be Sc
cured by MIR. Rugg and the students.
The annual fair and sale of the Uni
tartan Society was held in the Unltar-
ian Church parlors this afternoon and

ticles were offered for sale and brought

Fitchburg, Dec S.--The second death in

Delaney was recruit of Co. d, Sixth

when the troops started for the front. He
went through the entire campaign with

was Immediately removed TO the Bur
bank Hospital, where everything possible
was done for him.
Besides q mother. he leaves two broth
ers. His uncle took charge of the body
and although the funeral arrangements
are not vet made, the company of which
he was a member will without doubt turn
out to do escort duty.
The first death of the local companies
was in the same company, when William
Chute of Leominster died at Ponce of the
same disease. Armorer Burke of this city,
in company with Undertaken Richardson
of Leominster, are in Porto Rico at the
present time, and will return soon with

against the inroads of old age and the
approach of disease up to within a few
months.
He has had several attacks within the
last year that seemed the forerunner of
his death, but his strong constitution
pulled him through each time. But
at last nature gradually succumbed,
and the venerable clergyman went as
slowly and painlessly into the hereafter
as the sunset lines fade from the
ocean.
