P. v. DAILY PASSES AWAY.
Bright's Disease the Cause Of His I'm.
timely Death.

Monday night, June S, at the hour of
9 o'clock, Patrick Valentine Daily, the
we'll known insurance man, departed
this life at the family residence, IA Atty
street, St. Anthony Park, at the age of
80 years, the cause of his death being
Bright's disease of the kidneys Though
Mr.. DAILY had been feeling unwell for
about year, he kept at his work until
month ago, when he could no longer
leave his home. During the last three
weeks OF his life he suffered excruciating
pain, which he bore with fortitude and
true Christian resignation. He realized
that death was approaching and made
every preparation for eternity. He was
attended by Rev. Claude GEMS, the ven
cradle pastor of St. Lawrence church,
who administered the sacramcnts and
was much edited by the fervent faith OF
the dying Catholic in glorious immor-
tality. Mr.. DAILY died in peace with God
and his fellowmen. The funeral occurred
on Wednesday morning at 1880 o'clock
from St. Lawrence church, and the re-
mains were laid to rest in Calvary Gene
terry. In the death OF Mr.. Daily the COM
munity has lost an honorable citizen,
the church devoted member, and his
family tender husband and kind father.
He was born near Kanturk, county
Cork, ireland, on Sept. 81, 1860.
When 20 years of age he emgrated to
America, and after remaining in New
York for some time he removed to Gov
ington, KY. From there he went to
Milwaukee, and in 1886 was united in
marriage to Miss Mary L. McNally, an
estimable lady, who survives him with
five charming boys, whose ages range
from five to twelve years. In 1887 Mr..
DAILY came to St. Paul as the represent
tative of the Northwestern Lie Insur-
ance company of Milwaukee. At the
time of his death he was the state man
ager of the Massachusetts Mutual Life
Insurance company, with Offices both
i'll St. Paul and Minneapolis, and was
recognized as one of the best lie under
writers in the Northwest. He was
man of pleasing address and fine con-
versational gifts, and by his courteous,
gentlemanly manners made warm
friends on short acquaintance. Through
his own unaided efforts he attained the
responsible and lucrative position he
held with the Massachusetts Mutual.
The company placed implicit confidence
in him. He was man of high charac-
ter and ability, and would have made
his mark in any line of business or pro-
fessional career, but he was peculiarly
adapted for his chosen work. He was
we'll educated in Ireland, and through a
systematic course of study in this coun-
try he became thoroughly informed on
many subjects, literary, political and re-
ligious. He was talented Irishman
and loyal American. He loved his
native land with intense devotion and
was contemplating trip to it in July,
hoping that the balmy air OF Erin would
restore him to health. The Irish Stand
ard highly esteemed Mr.. DAILY in life
and tenders its sincere sympathy to his
| afflicted wife and children The names
of his boys are Irving, John, Harold,
Park and Orville. Besides his family
he leaves to mourn his death a nephew
and two nieces in St. Paul-Mr. ]. J..
Ahern, Miss Della Ahern and Miss
Della Noonan. He also leaves two
brothers in Milwaukee, four brothers in
Australia, and one brother and two sis
tiers in ireland.
May his soul rest in peace!
