of his sisters, Misses Laura and Rene
Barcelo, who were also sisters of George
Barcelo, of this city, and we're among the
five hundred passengers whose lives we're
lost on the morning of July 4th aboard
the La Bugogne, off Sable Island:
On Thursday last the Catholic com.
munity Of Midland we're shocked on the
receipt of the news of the great loss sus-
tanned by their beloved pastor, Rev.
Father Barcelo, on the occasion of the
death Of his sisters, the Misses Laura
and Rene Barcelo, of Montreal, who were
on the Inflated steamer Burgogne when
over five hundred lives were lost.
To the people of the parish it was al
most personal matter, for besides the
deceased ladies being such near and dear
relatives to one to whom they are bound
by the strong ties of love that usually
exist between pastor and people, they
had, during recent visit to their rever
end brother here, learned their many
good and amiable qualities, and are there
fore in position to understand to GER
tain extent the great loss that their pas
tor has sustained, and many prayer has
assembled to the great white throne for
the consolation of the survivors as we'll
as the repose of the souls of the departed.
The Misses Barcelo we're on their way
to France to enter Franciscan convent

The Catholic Record extends its SYM
pathy to Father Barcelo and his family
and we pray that the Great Consoler,
through the intercesslon of the Mother
of Sorrows. may give them courage and
strength to bear up under this great
affliction. Requiescat in Peaeel
