Death of a Pioneer Priest.

A noble, self-sacrifcing life, blame
less ministry, was closed with the death
OF Father John C. Ahern, of Big Stone
City, S. D., which occurred Monday
evening at oo4 Fourteenth avenue in this
city. FIR. Alern was born in Yougllal.
Ireland, about 20 years ago, and when
scarcely more than boy was ordained
priest. He came to America in 1875
and was one OF the pioneer evangelsts
of the then sDarse7y settled Dakotas.
He continued his priestly labors in the
West until within few months of his
DEATH His last pastorate was at Big
Stone City, S. D.
With the patience and fortitude which
was characteristic Of the man through
out his life, he bore uncomplainingly
tor many years painful nalady. In
April he came to Minneapolis to seek
relief from malignant form Of cancer.
but medical skill was unavailing and
peace came only with death. He was
accompanied to this city by his sister,
Miss Kate Ahern who has been his
companion and l1ousekecper since his
ordination. During the weary wait for
death the clergymen OF this city and OF
St. Paul were constantly by the bed
side OF the afflicted priest. Former,
parshioners journeyed many miles to
cheer and console their beloved friend.
Thursday at ten o'clock the funeral
services were held at the Church OF the
Ascension, the remains lying in state
for an hour previous. The casket heavi-
ly draped in black stood in the center

QUEEN mass, Rev. Father LaGardeur
singing the offcrtory.
"My Lord is my Life and my Saliva
ton. Whom have l to fear?' This
iervid. iaitll-inspired psalm OF the Royal
prophet was an appropriate text for
Father Cleary's eloquent eulogy on the
character OF the departed priest. The
speaker declared that self sacrifice, Civ
ing tip wholly and entirely to God, the
life, the talent, the energies of the man
is what it means to be priest. The
priests field of labor may be wide or
narrow, it may be far removed from
places endeared by association, but the
priest laboring only for God, needs not
environment. To give sympathy AMI
succor to stricken ones is the office of
the priest For consolation in his own
sorrows he may turn alone to God. The
recompense for this self placement,
this jealous labor for the salvation of
souls is surely great; heavenly reward
