Largely Attended.
 The funeral of Miss Mamie Quin- Ian, who was killed in a wreck at Sandy Hook, Thursday, took place yes terday afternoon at 2:3O from the home of her mother, Mrs Edgar smith of so Cherry street, and at 5 o'clock from St Francis church. The tuner al was one of the largest ever held ID Naugatuck Hundreds of sorroWlng friends blocked Cherry street waiting for the funeral to pass. There were 5 hacks and about as many single teams. The Children of Mary of which the deceased was a member, attended the funeral in a body. Dele gates were also present from the La dies of the MaccabeeS and Q. Q. F. When the funeral arrived at the church the large edifice was already filled and those who came With the funeral cortege had hard work Secur- ing even standing room. So large was the number of people present that hundreds could not secure en- trance to the church. As the funeral procession entered the church Miss Fannie Higgins effectually rendered an appropriate solo and when leaving the church Nearer, My God, to Thee was touchingly rendered by St Fran cis' choir. Services were conducted by the Rev Father Sheridan. After the funeral service Father Sheridan spoke feelingly for some time on Miss Quinlan's sad death. In part he said: '.So much has been said, so many Kind words have been spoken in re. gard to the splendid character and pleasing disposition of Mamie, that I can hardly find words sufficient to add to what has already been said. But personally feel deeply her sad death, and so do those associated with me. We came in contact with her many times as 3 member of the Children of Mary, as a member of the Altar soci- ety and as a member of the choir We knew her as 9 smiling, beaming pleas ant girl. At all our bazaars, festivals and fairs, or any affair whatever con nected with the church, Mamie was. always willing to come forward and help, always with that same smiling face, and happy, pleasing manner that brought to her so many hundreds of friends. All who knew her knew that she was a devoted Christian girl, de- voted to God and the exercise of his commands. I am sure that the pure, noble life she led has been an exam pie to many, and that her example has been the means of making many far better than they were h conclu- | sion, Father Sheridan said: God has said, Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee the crown of life | Who told her He would give her the crown of life? God Himself, who | created her and endowed her with 1 that smiling face, that cheerful dispo- l sition and pleasing manner.'' Father 1 Sheridan closed his remarks by asking l those present to pray for the repose of her soul, and he also reminded those present that a requiem high mass would be celebrated this morn l ing at 8 o'clock and he wished and he said it would be the wish of dear Ma mic, if she could but speak, that those of her many friends that could should ! attend her requiem. After Father Sheridan finished his remarks dry eye could not be seen in the church.
 Hundreds of people visited the ceme- tery and many and copious were the tears shed when the body of Miss Ma mic Quinlan, beloved, respected and honored by all, was slowly lowered to it's final resting place.
