A strong effort was made to locate
some relatives, especially sister Of
the deceased, who is supposed to live in
Louisville, KY, but it was all to no
purpose. A telegram placed in the
hands of the Chief. Of Police Of Louis.
Vile brought no response, whatever,
and as Michael Tierney had died with
out the ministration of any OF his
kindred so he was laid to rest where
only those who knew him in later
years could follow him to the grave
and there was not one relative to shed
tear above him.
