taken suddenly sick and in few days died.
The house being small and the number attend
ing the funeral so large, persons coming from
the Sans Creek neighborhood, Carroll county.
where he commenced his ministry after emil
grating to this country from Ireland, it was
necessary to hold the services under the tree,
hat tn int ri h.
ner of the dwelling. The remains were inter-
red in the Wheeler graveyard, located several
hundred yards back of the house, and in after
years, when the property was owned and oc-
cupied by the late Daniel Lee, the body was
exhumed and reinterred in Mount Olivet Gene
terry, on the Frederick road. 1t has been sug-
gested that IL the tree is purchased spot sur
rounding it large enough to build an iron rail-
ing around the tree will also be secured. The
tree could then be preserved as memento of
