RESOLUTIONS ON JOHN BURNS.
AT the close Of Mr.. O'Connor's poem,
Eugene M. Morlarty, for the committee
appointed at a recent union meeting of
the A. o. H, to draft resolutions on the
death of John Burns, presented the fol-
lowing, which were adopted by the au-
dience:
Mechanics Hall, March II, 1898.
This audience having assembled under
the auspices of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, it has been thought meet
and proper that the members of the or
der, at least, should at this time and
upon this occasion express their appre-
citation of the sterling integrity and
lofty patriotism of a recently deceased
member, the late John Burns.
! Mr.. Burns was born in June, 1850, IN
| the county Of Roscommon, Ireland. He
died Feb. 28, 1898.
| At an early age he left his native
land, like so many millions of his race
to carve mis- own way through the world
in the great American republic. He
selected the heart of the old common
wealth Of Massachusetts, as the city Of
his adoption. Here he made his home
and here he spent most of his life. L
was here, too, that ne was best known
and here he developed those traits o.
| character which commanded the respec
| of his fellowmen and endeared him t
| his associates.
John Burns was a splendid type of thu
Celtic race. He was honest and straight
forward in his dealings; frank and can
did in expression. A man of pronounced
| opinions and positive convictions, he die
not hesitate to express them freely anC
! fearlessly.
| Unselfshness and devotion to prin
ciple an undying love for his native
land and answering loyalty to the lane
of his adoption were prominent charac
| teristics Of his nature.
He was a good citizen a reliable
friend, loving husband and father HI
was charitable, generous and ever ready
to contribute to any worthy cause Thu
untimely death of such a man is t
be sincerely mourned, not only by tht
Irish-American societies to which he be
longed, and for which he did so much
but by the community at large
Resolved, therefore, that this audienc
records it's sincere sorrow at the pre-
mature death of the late John Burn
and its coincidence to his widow ant
family.
Resolved, that. as humble tribute 0
respect to the memory of the deceased
