death of Mrs. Laurence Barry, wife of the
oldest son of the late John Barry, Tip
perary, Munster Ireland, is announced.
Her death will be mourned far across the
seas in Australia, New York, New Jer-
sey, Chicago, Denver, California. 1T will
be mourned wherever a drop of the,
Hickey blood has raised its religious
monument and name. The deceased had
a love and reverence for the Hickey blood
in her veins. because from it she pos
sessed the qualities and graces to work
out her salvation in fear and trembling.
Mrs. Barry'S death was in keeping with
her life; it was the death of a true Cath
ole. In reality her mortal sickness was
a slow martyrdom, a lingering heart dis
ease. but she rallied and struggled, her
mind bright to the last. But she felt the
hand of death long before the final call.
Her friends and children hoped against
hope, wondering at her admirable resig
nation. She herself was never unde-
ceived. She arranged her affairs and
placed herself in the hands of God There
was in her no agony at being torn away
from the husband and children she loved.
The will of God she always sought, and,
recognizing, bowed. Her life was noble
and she was nOblest in her death. She
had many devoted friends, but to her
husband and children her loss cannot be
measured. There never was woman
more loving in her nature or better loved
than Mrs. Barry.
