OBITUARY.
John Albert Hurd.

John Albert Hurd died Friday morn
ing at his home, No. 1872 Central ave-
nue., where he resided with Mr. and
Mrs. Theron e. Tefft. He had been i'll
for some time, but had been able to
work until quite recently. Death was
due to peculiar ailment, stated to
be Potts disease of the spine, during
the duration Of which, about a year,
his spinal column gradually wasted
away. He had been treated at the
Backus hospital, at one time. but
nothing could stay the course of the
disease, which started, 1t is thought,
from the kick of horse some years
ago.
Mr.. Hurd was born in Essex, Conn,
and in early life was a seaman. His
residence in Norwich covered period
of Is years and for three years he was
sexton of the Second Congregational
church. He was an efficient workman,
of good reputation and was generally
liked. He is survived by one brother,
Frank Hurd of Providence, and one
sister, Mrs. James Kane of New Lon
don. He had been 32d degree Ma
son and a member OF Pyramid temple,
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, of
Bridgeport. He had also belonged to
Fellows.
Miss Elizabeth HeaIey. =
(Contributed)
On December 18th, the anniversary
of her birth, God was pleased to call
to himself his faithful servant, Eliz-
abeth Healey. After long and patient
sufferings of ten months and serious
illness of but a week, she went to sleep
Tuesday night and awoke Wednesday
in the presence of her Saviour.
Elizabeth Healey was born in Kill
larney County Kerry, Ireland, a mem
Der of a splendid and distinguished
Irish family, the daughter of John and
Mary Healey, both now deceased. She
was one of ten brothers and sisters, all
of whom aer now dead with the .excep-
ton of Mrs. Nora Doherty Of Chicago,
Ill. Bishop Egan, the noted Irish
prelate, was a near relative.
Sixty years ago the family settled in
Boston, and since then has always been
prominently identified with the Cath
Ollie affairs of that city. The late Arch
bishop Williams and Bishop Healey
were both intimate family friends.
In July, 1884, Miss Healey came to
make her home with her youngest sis
ter. Mrs. Mary Healey O'Sulllvan. Mrs.
O'Sullivan died Sept. 8, 1892, and at her
death her devoted sister took upon her
self the care of the motherless children,
and it ceased only at her death. This
trust, after the service of God, was
her only object in life, and she was
untiring in her care Of her loved ones.
In her home circle Miss Healey is
mourned by two nieces, the Misses
Mary and Annie O'Sullivan; four neph-
ews, John, Myles, Joseph and Stephen
b., and. her brother-in -1aw, Stephen
OSullivan. She also leaves nieces and
nephews in Springfield, Boston, Chica-
go and New York.
