The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1902-11-29


1899, when strike was made in the
property, he sold his one-third interest
for $780, 900 cash. For the past two years
or more he has made his home in this
city. He had large real estate holdings
and in addition was interested in a
number of mining propositions, both in
this state and in Nevada.
The funeral took place from st.
Mary'S cathedral on Tuesday morning
under the auspices of the knights of
Columbus. In the large gathering of
friends were many old residents of Ne
vada who had known and loved the de-
ceased from boyhood as well as promi-
nent citizens of Salt Lake.
The cortege left the residence on
Fourth East street at 10 o'clock, ac-
companied by the knights of Column
bus, of which order Mr.. Dooley was an
enthusiastic member. The chancel was
covered with sweet offerings of flowers,
and the music was exquisitely rendered
by the cathedral choir, under the di-
rection of Miss Nora Gleason. Requiem
mass was celebrated
The body was shipped on the 1890
train to San Francisco. Mrs. Dooley
and Will Dooley, the brother of the
deceased, accompanied the remains,
which will be laid in the family lot at
San Francisco, where the mother was
buried six years ago.
To the bereaved ones the earnest
sympathy of all is extended. May the
desolate wife and loving brother look
forward to a blessed reunion with their
loved one, who has gone to the home
where death and sorrow never enter.
Rev. Father Morrissey, a close friend
of Mr.. Dooley, paid beautiful tribute
to the life and character of the de-
ceased in the following sermon:
But the just man, if he be prevented
with death, shall be in rest. Wisdom

My Dear Friends-There is no time
when faith in a future life seems so
necessary to us as when in the awful
presence of deaths dark angel; there
is no time when the soul of man more
imperiously Graves for the goal to
which Christianity points, than when
sorrow and pain and suffering are upon
it, and that too, in the midst of all
the pleasures and sweets and aff1uence
which the world, in other circum-
stances, could bestow; there is no time
when the inconvenience of a good
Christian life and habits in the pres
ence of a sneering, hooking and scott
ing world seem so we'll worth enduring,
as when we stand by the bedside of
dying Christian man who has so en-
dured, and listen to his words of faith,
his aspirations of hope and his yearn-
ings of love; and when we see before
our very eyes the confidence, the res
lgnation, the calm, the peace which
such a life and such habits beget-
which are at once their result and their
reward-there is no time when we shall
realize the value and advantage of a
ant onfso 6any
ly than when we shall stand, as we
shall one day soon, before the portals
of the inevitable-of the great I'M
known; no time when virtue will taste
so sweet, no time when it's absence will
be more keenly felt; in a word, there
is no time when the truth and meaning
of these words of the Wise Man will
be so impressively borne in upon US
and perhaps surprise us-as when life's
tide is ebbing from the shore But
the just man, if he be prevented with
death, shall be in rest" All, my friends,
there is no man so wretched as the man
who lives without faith; there is no
man so miserable as the man who goes
through life without his God; there is
no man so pitiable as the man who
suffers. and whose suffering has, for
him. no meaning; who has a mind and
knows not; who has heart and feels
not; who has soul and endures not;
whose tears of anguish whose cry of
pain and sigh of sorrow find a respon-
SiVe echo-noWhere, because he does not
realize or appreciate the sublime and
consoling teaching of the Savior, who
says to the believing sufferer: Blessed
are the meek (the patient) for they
shall possess the land. Blessed are
they that mourn, for they shall be
comforted. =. Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward is very great in
heaven. '-(Matt. V, App
Religion, my dear friends is the hope
of suffering, patience is its soothing
balm, while resignation is at once it's
victory and its crown. But suffering,
when separated from religion, from
patience and resignation, is truly dis
heartening, for then suffering has
neither principle nor end, nor recon-
pense, 1t was this patience, this res
ignation, that characterized through a
life of almost unbroken suffering the
noble Christian man whose body lies
shrouded before us here today, and to
whose loving memory you and l pay
this last tribute of respect. Bending,
and. betimes, writing, in the throes
of fell disease, which was slowly, but
none the less surely, gnawing his very
life away. through his life he suffered
he suffered as child, he suffered as a
boy, he suffered as a man-yet patience
shone through it all as brightly as the
lightning'S flash through the blackness
of the storm. True, he would sit for
together and tell you long and
racking stories of his sufferings, but
