The funeral services of Thomas Nc
Keag, who was found dead in his bed
at Silver Star on the morning of the
deceased was a member of the Masonic
order in Ireland and the lodge of Twin
Bridges conducted the ceremonies. In
terment took place in the Silver Star
cemetery. But lIJtle is known of his
relatives, as he seldom spoke of his
family. From letters round in his trunk
by the ccroner's jury is was learned
that he had relatives in California. His
death was very sudden and a great
surprise to his friends. 1t was learned
at the inquest that the night of his
death he had returned from Butte,
where he went to look after ship
ment of ore, and had laid on the bed
without disrohing for a short rest. His
parNer, sleeping in Ihe same house,
did not try to awaken him in the morn
ing until late, and then it was NE
learned the worst. The Coroner's jury
was empaneled by Judge Bollinger as
soon as he arrived at the Star, and they
found that heart failure was the cause
of death. A silver watch chain and $22J
was found in the pockets of the de-
ceased. Mr.. McKeag has been in this
section some three years, and has fol-
lowed mining. He had yearly income
of about $4,000 from an estate in Ire
land, but never saved any money.
