WILLIAM GARRITY, aged 50 years,
died quite suddenly at the family resi-

Friday morning at 1:30 a. m , of valvu-
lar heart trouble, after an illness of
several weeks, although not consider
cd dangerous .in fact he had notified
the railroad officials that he would be
able to report for duty within few
days. During Thursday he was feeling
remarkably well and took walk about
five O'Clock in the evening. When he
retired for the night he rested well and
slept until midnight, when he awaken
ed in great distress. His wife assisted
him to the bath room where he conld
have his easy chair and felt easier, re-
questing his wife to return to her rest.
1t was only a few moments when he
called his wife to him and passed to
the great beyond, leaning upon her
shoulder. DR. H. S. Falk was called
but found the patient beyond mortal
help.
MIR. Garrity was born at Schenectady,
N. Y, sixty-two years ago next month
and early in life, when very small
child, was left an orphan. When yet
a boy he secured employment in the
locomotive works in that city and early
took an engine on N Y. 9. r. r., com
ing to the Buffalo Division thirty years
ago, running between Emporium and
Buffalo, twenty eight years of this time
having resided in Emporium with his
family, highly respected.

Marys; Anna l., at home and Ray w,

the funeral; also William Garrity,
nephew, of Schnectady, N Y.
Mr.. Clarity was considered one of
the most trusty engineers on the road
and when the Buffalo Flyer was placed
on the schedule he was given the run.
quiet, intelligent and pleasant
gentleman az all tines he made friends
and retained them. His domestic re-
lations were pleasant and SO fond
was he of his home that he repeatedly
doubled the road in order to be with
his family, if or only two or three
hours. The PRESS, and we know our
citizens generally, cannot speak too
highly of the deceased-a faithful hus.
band, devoted father and true MAN.
