BARTENDERs To ATTEND FUN
ERAL.
Yesterday morning there passed away
at his late residence another OF the most
respected members OF the Bartenders'
union. In the person OF Mr.. Cornelius
Cronin.
Among the older members OF the union
there was not member more respected
than was this man and To do him honor
all the members OF the union will as
semble at his late residence tomorrow at
2 p. IN. and march In a body TO the
church.
Mr.. Cronin was one OF the hrst men 10
become q member OF the local and when
the body was first organized and strug-
Cling for foothold IN the community
he was one OF the foremost champions.
II was very largely due TO his steadfast
upholding OF the principles OF unionism
that the body was allowed 10 live, and
the Organization has never forgotten the
services rendered.
For nearly a year now, before death,
Mr.. Cronin was in rather poor health and
the union lost the services OF one OF Its
hardest toiiers While not able TO attend
any OF the meetings vet ne was interested
In the proceedings OF each session TO such
an extent that whenever a brother would
visit him one OF the first questions asked
would be concerning the last meeting.
Mr.. Cronin when in good health worked
for the most OF his time az Walter Ma
ginn's place. and 1t was from there that
he went TO his home Ill last spring. II
was thought by all that he would be able
TO recover finally from the sickness with
which he was afflicted. but later com
plioation of diseases set In which finally
overcame the robust frame and iron con-
stitution OF the man.
So deeply srieved are menber OF the
union at the demise OF this respected
brother that there will be scarcely man
among them who will not be seen paying
his respects TO this loyal brother. tie
leaves a widow and daughter and a host
of sorrowing friends. In life he was a
member Of the Catholic Knights. the HI
bernians and the Irish Volunteers.
At the next meeting the union will
draft resolutions on the death and take
other steps to show their appreciation OF
the man.
