He is survived by widow and two sons, Dennis and Thomas; also three brothers and two sisters, John and Thomas of East Hampton and James of Springfield, Miss Katherine of South Deerfield and Mrs James Mcintosh of Nauga- tuck. MT Clancy was born in North ampton, Mass. where he learned the plumbing and timing trade and work ed at it for time there and in other places before coming to Waterbury. About twentythree years ago he ac- cepted position with tho late Charles Thatcher and remained with him until he went into business for himself in 1891 in Brooklyn. A skillful work man and very agreeable gentleman, MT Clancy soon built t,p large put ronage and conducted the business with great success until his health failed and he Was obliged to retire from active participation in it and one of his sons assumed the manage ment. He was a member of Court Stephen J. Meany and Waterbury council of the Catholic Benevolent, le- zion. Few men held a warmer place in the hearts of his townsmen than Michael. He was modest, unas- suming citizen, who tried hard to do the right thing by everybody, always pleased at the success of his neighbors and ever ready to offer a helping hand to those who needed assistance. Although not native of Ireland he had strong inherent love for the birth place of his parents and during the time of the National league move ment in that country he was active in the local association and contributed literally to the different appeals made for aid by the Irish Parliamentary par ty. He was faithful husband, kind father and an exemplary citizen andpassed on to his reward leaving his family an unblemished reputation and enough of the worlds goods to enable them to take care of themselves.
