The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1905-09-23


On Thursday, Sept. A. the Feast of
the Exaltation, the shadow of the cross
fell with saddening gloom on three
young hearts within our academy. when
the news came from California that
Mr.. Frank McNulty had died the Tues
day before. About one short month ago
he sought that genial cline hoping to
recover his health, but the grim mes
senger had already started on his in

medical aid could effect the devoted
father was taken from his loving chill

motherless darlings, and entertained a
tender memory of the dear departed.
A devout Catholic, he realized to the

Creator and his family. and one of our
latest recollectionS of him is as he

weakened, emaciated state he went
with his children to adore in loving
reparation the crucified God who was so

learned to seek consolation where it
may be alone found, in the heart of
Him who is heart of all.
Deeply significant is the fact that it
was on the feast of Mary's dolors. all
that was mortal of Frank McNulty was
consigned to earth.
The funeral took place from st. Jo-
seph's church and was we'll attended by
numerous friends who sought to testi-
