Father Cosgrove was selected by
the priests OF the Davenport diocese as
the one whom they would like to have

sent to the cabinet of cardinals in
Rome. Bishop McMullen wished to
have Father Cosgrove appointed adj
ministrator of the diocese in the event
Of his death and prepared letter to
this effect, sealing 1t with instructions
that 1t was not to be opened until mis-
death.
He also wrote to Pope Leo, stating
that Father Ccsgrove had performed
the work of the diocese admirably
during his Illness.
The provincial bishops did not rec

AS there was some delay message

Father Trevis at the suggestion of
Father Niermann, asking that no
bishop be appointed until the priests
of the diocese had been heard from
The petition for the appointment Of
Father Cosgrove,, signed by nearly
every priest of the diocese was then

Bids Farewell
to His Friends

There have been no unusual fea-
lures of his last days. He knew his
end was near and prayed his God to
take him. at his divine pleasure. He
received the calls of few old friends,
ms brother bishops and the older
priests of the diocese, who had so
ably assisted him during his life.
Archbishop Keane, Archbishop Ire
land, Bishop Scannell and others
nave been callers at his home within
the past few months. His sisters,
also, residing away from the city,
have been here to bid him farewell.
Besides these and the members of
his household, but few have seen
him. His days have been spent in
quiet prayer and meditation
Always stunning publicity and os-
tentation, he was unassuming In his
manner and character. Although a
peer in the Roman Catholic church,
and the head of great organization,
his habits We're plain and demo-
cratic. Officiating in princely robes
and with all the pomp and ceremony
of the church at the functions OF
special occasion, without the sane
tuary, he was plain practical bus
mess man. going and coming quietly
and avoiding notoriety of any Sort
Although known by his personal
friends to be a warm patriot, loving
the land Of his birth, and giving. an
example of good citizenship, he
Stunned demonstration Of his feel
ings. When public occasion demanded
a hearing from his office, one of his
able lieutenants was delegated for the
honor.
His face has been familiar one on
the streets of Davenport. He always
walked, never using a carriage and
seldom riding in the street cars.
A week never passed, before his
final confinement to his home, but ne
paid visit to st. Ambrose college,
to the Immaculate Conception acade-
my and to st. Vincent's home, insti-
tutions whose growth he fostered with
loving care.

Creation Of
Davenport See

The Davenport diocese was created
In July, 1881. The Dubuque diocese
had been constantly growing in the
number of it's churches and the duties
had become too arduous for one
bishop.
An agitation was started to have the
diocese divided and Davenport was
selected as the head of the field of
Catholicism In southern Iowa.
When the Davenport diocese was
formed, Bishop McMullen was selected
as It's official head He was conse--
Grated in July, 1881 in Chicago and
came to Davenport Immediately.
On his arrival in this city he i'm
mediately selected st. Marguerites as
his cathedral. Father Cosgrove was
pastor there at the time and the new
bishop Immediately elevated him to
the position of vicar general. -Four
months after Bishop McMullen be-
came the head of the diocese he was
stricken with the dreadful malady that
was destined to cause his death. All
the duties Of his bishop see immed-
lately devolved upon the vicar general
and he was practically the head of
the diocese from it's inception.
Bishop McMullen rallied for time
after he was first stricken but soon
became worse again and passed away
after he had been bishop less than two

Guides Growth
Of St. Ambrose

While to Bishop John McMullen Is
due the credit for the foundation Of st.
Ambrose college, Davenport, the semi
nary for young men,, nevertheless it is
due to the untiring efforts of Bishop
Cosgrove that the institution has
reached the position which it holds to-
day.

caused dissention in other episcopal
communities. A rigid justice has ac
companied his erudition, resulting in
discipline which has met with the
approval of his small army of priests.
As an orator he had few equals in
the vicinity. Possessing a musical
clear voice, fine enunciation and
practical wisdom, his sermons at
tracted attention in all quarters and
drew TO his church, men of all
creeds. During the last years of his
life, he seldom preached, an affection
of the throat making it impossible for
him to use his voice in extended dis
course.
But always, when in attendance at
high mass at the cathedral, he pro-
nounced the episcopal blessing from
his throne at the conclusion of the
mass, the congregation kneeling with
bowed heads, and the clear bell-Hke
voice resounded down the huge edi-
flee with an impressive solmenity. His
beautiful voice was apparent also In

Christmas time and on Holy Thurs

Well Fitted
for Hard w ork

Resolved down to its elements, the
secrets of mans success in his
chosen field may usually be ascribed
to capacity for hard work. Sent
into pioneer field a young priest,
with all the enthusiasm and energy Of
youth, Father Cosgrove came to Dav--
export in its formative period and
threw himself into the work Of up
building his church. Perhaps, as in
all new settlements, there was more
opportunity for the right man than in
older communities. Be that as it
may, he came to Davenport at time
when conditions were ripe for prac-
teal ecclesiastical work. With the
backing of a great organization be-
hind him, and the help of Jealous de-
voices of his raith, rich in fervor and
worldly goods. he saw at once the
possibilities of his work, the oppor-
'tunity of laying a broad foundation of
usefulness for his church.
The history of the community has
shown his fitness for the position
which later he was called upon to fill.
Davenport was the starting point FOR
the paths of early pioneer priests. In
building up the church in this city he
established center from which the
efforts of missionaries could be direct
ed with system and effect.
When the growth of the Iowa do
cese had reached a point where It's
work became too great for one man
to direct, a division was made and
the southern part of the state became
a. new see. Although another man
was made the first bishop, his mis-
fortune Of poor health threw the work
on the shoulders of his vicar general,
Father Cosgrove, and from the incep-
ton of the diocese the late bishop had
been head of the new see.

surroundings and not be lost to the
faith Of their fathers, Bishop Cosgrove,
In 1898 brought the Sisters Of the
Humility Of Mary to Davenport and
established with their assistance ST.
v1ncents' Orphans Home. The old
Roraback homestead at the northwest
corner Of Fifteenth street and Grand
avenue was purchased and the home
conducted there. This was the home
for one year. The Sisters then pur-
chased the property at their present
location, about quarter Of mile
west OF the northwest corner Of
Central park. Here they built per-
manent brick home and here they have
been established since. Two years ago
an addition was built to the home and
more property purchased The large
brick structure now stands I'M the
center of 20 acres Of property.

His Work as
a Shepherd

The two decades which expired
since the conservation of Bishop Cos
grove to the time of the elevation of
Bishop Davis as his successor, was g.
period Of strenuous work for the pre-
late. He figured very little before
the public eye, coming and going to
and from Davenport on his trips
through the southern half of Iowa,
sometimes for months, constantly on
the road, visiting different churches
and pastors every day, guiding, adj
vising and directing the affairs of the
parishes, taking a personal interest
in every young priest. helping them
in their careers to guard against mis-
takes and do the work of their Mas
ter rightly. Perhaps no man has
covered more thoroughly the. terri
tory embraced in the southern half
of Iowa, than has Bishop Cosgrove.
No settlement or cross roads, where
there was a Catholic church but was
visited by him periodically.
Even to the casual observer, the
building could be seen, though the
master workman was invisible. The
work which was intrusted to his care
by his temporal master, the late Pope
Leo, was faithfully performed, and
he goes to Him for whom the task
was undertaken to render an account
of the stewardship. The Davenport
diocese has grown from a few scatter
ed and poor parishes to a network of
churches covering every county and

Lays Down His
Heavy Burden

These functions became too ardu-
Gus, however. and for over year ne
has failed to appear in his accus-
toned place within the sanctuary,
leaving the duties to his coadjutor.
He was present at high mass on
Easter Sunday of last year but since
then has been stranger to the ca

In his private chapel at home, until
the past few months, he has per-
formed the solemn rite allowed by mis-
priestIy office, members Of his house,
hold, only. gathering to witness the
ceremony.
With the selection of a coadjutor,
empowered by Rome to do the work,
which requires the prerogatives of a
bishop, he gradually put aside the
duties of his large see. and retired to
his home to await the call of his
Master. knowing that his years were
numbered and that he would soon be
called on to render an account of his
stewardship.
His work was accomplished with the
handicap of illness. For years he had
been a sufferer and had resorted to all
earthly help to lengthen his years and
render him capable of serving his
church.
The burden, however, was to-
