Death of Patrick n. Manure.

Patrick II. Mcguire, So, died Satur-
day night about 1880 at his home at II
Reed street from consumption. He
had been in failing health three or four
months. Mr.. Mcguire was a native
of Dorset, this state. In his early
manhood he was a fireman on the Rut-
land railroad. After going through an
accident in which he was injured and
the engineer killed, he joined the reg
ular army and during his five years
enlistment saw service i'm the closing
months of the civil war, in the recon
struCtiOn period in the south and at
frontier uutpOsts in the West. He
came to Trattleboro about 1870.
His father, who was a brick and
stone mason, had charge of the work
on the Unitarian church. and his sons
worked there with him. Patrick be-
came a wonderfully deXtrous work
man. He could see through plans with
remarkable aCuteness, and in his han
diwork was craftsman of great
speed and accuracy. For years his
time had been spent largely in the EN-
ploy of the BrattlebOro Retreat, having
an important part in the reConstruC-
ton of the buildings and in the cree
ton of the stone tower in the Retreat
park.
Mr.. Mcguire is survived by his
wife, who was Mary Barry of Brattle-
boro. and by three sons, John, Patrick
and Daniel, and two daughters, Mary
wife of John Clair of Holyoke, and
Miss Katie. He also leaves four
brothers, Charles of Providence, r. l.,
Thomas and Frank of Rochester, n. H.,
and William, who lives in Missouri,
and a sister, Mrs. John Milott of Rut-
land. The funeral was held at the
Roman Catholic church at o'clock
Tuesday morning, Rev. Father Gun
ningham officiating. The burial was
in the Roman Catholic cemetery. The
bearers were Patrick Guiheen, Charles
McMenniman, Patrick Lillis, Timothy
Aher, Cornelius Sullivan, Thomas
Long.
Among the relatives here to attend
the funeral were Mr.. and Mrs. John
Clair of Holyoke. Mr.. and Mrs. John
Milott and son of Rutland, Charles Ma
guirc of Providence and Thomas and
Frank Mcguire of Rochester, n H.,
and Mrs. Fay Bowker of Providence.
