The funeral of Mrs. Timothy Suffi-

10 O'Clock in the morning. The spa
cious Sacred Heart church was crowd
Led by an immense audience composed
of the many friends of the deceased,
who for years had known and loved
her. The bier of the deceased was
completely covered with fora, trib-
ltes, which came from both relatives
and friends. They were among the
most magnificent that were ever seen
in the city at any time, that spoke in.
terms that could not be mistaken of
the life of one who was taking her fin
al rest after having lived more than
her three score years and ten, and had
left behind her scores of friends who
felt deeply the loss of a kindly advls-
err and faithful friend in trouble. Sell
dom indeed has the Sacred Heart
church been filled with such repre-
sentative audience as that which gath
cred Tuesday morning. There were
people from both sides of the river,
and scores Of people were turned away
from lack of space.
AS Father Prounx spoke of the life
and works Of the deceased briefly
at the close of the services in the
church, there was not dry eye 10 the
church. His remarks seemed to touch
every one present. He spoke of the
wonderful devotion of the deceased,
and the many who would feel most
keenly the loss of a dear friend in ad-
dition to those who were connected by
closer ties. He said the deceased was
one of the most noble examples of
Christian motherhood that he had ever
seen during his passionate, and those
who listened realized that every word
that was spoken was the truth.
The funeral was one Of the largest
ever seen in the city, and the remains
we're followed to their final resting
place by hundreds of people. At the
grave the ceremonies were very sim
pie. A prayer was said and as the
multitude was gathered about the
grave there was a solemn hush about
the grave as though the savior was
there to receive the spirit Of the de-
parted before the friends paid their
final farewell to one who was univer-=
sally loved and respected.
The pail bearers were six grand
children, Hugh and Timothy Nell
raith, William and Chas. Sullivan,
and Edward and Fred Cummings.
