CORK.
Widespread regret -tyns5-a evoked
among all sections and classes in the
Middleton district, by the demise, on
Sept. 6, of the Rev. J. D. Greene, @. G.,
Dungourney. The deceased had. been
in ailing health. for some time past,
but hardly any one anticipated that
the end was so near, A few weeks
ago he recovered from-a serious attack
of pneumonia, and subsequently went
to Fermoy, and took part in the cleri-
cal Retreat there; but on his return he
again felt unwell, and it was deemed
prudent by his medical advisers that
he should take sojourn at Youghal.
He failed rapidly, however, and the
end came, on the above date. Father
Greene was an ideal Irish priest, an
incorporating. Nationalist, and a
man of distinguished ability. During
his last illness he was visited by q host
of priests and laymen, fact which
was conclusive evidence of his wide
popularity, and now that he has gone
to his reward, after 80 years service
in the ministry, his death is deeply re-
GREETED.
