DEATH AND FUNERAL OF REV.
VIM. DOOLEY.
Popular Assistant Priest of st. Mary
Parish Is Suddenly Called to
His Reward.

ed this life at 6:15 p. M, after an i'll
ness of eight days. For some time
Father Dooley had suffered from APP
pendicitis, but owing to his general
good health and cheerful disposition at
all times, nothing serious was antici-
pated by his friends. On December
Is, Father Dooley was taken suddenly
i'll at the parochial residence and was
removed to the hospital that evening.
An operation was performed Saturday
morning for appendicitis, followed by
another Sunday afternoon. On the fol-
lowing Tuesday he was again operated
on for adhesions, but the hand of
science was arrested by the Divine
Physician and despite the best efforts
of the ablest skill and the constant and
loving care of the sisters, God saw best
to call His faithful servant from his
successful earthly career to his eternal
home. His death was peaceful and re-
signed, fortified as it was by all the
helps that the mother church holds out
to her devoted children at this most
solemn hour. Owing to illness in his
home, his father, Stephen Dooley, of
GAINESVILLE, Wis, was the only relative
with Father Dooley during his sickness
and death.
On Christmas afternoon his body was
removed to st. Mary's Catholic church
and laid in state, where so often and
so lately he had officiated. Throughout
the day and all during the night par
ishioners and friends visited the church
to pray for the repose of his soul and
to view the remains.
At 10 a. m. on Monday the Office for
the dead was chanted by twenty-nine
of his brother priests, followed by a

THE DEAD PRIEST.
GA shadow slept folded in vestments,
The dream of a smile on it's face.
Dim, soft as the CLEAN after sunset
That hangs like a halo of grace
While the daylight hath died in the
valley
And the twilight hath taken it's
place
A shadow! But still on the mortal
There rested the tremulous trace
Of the Joy of the spirit immortal
Passed up to its God in His grace.
A shadow! Hast seen in the summer
A cloud wear the smile of the sun?
In the shadow of death there is flashing
The glory of noble deeds done.
In the face of the dead there is glowing
The light of a holy race run,
And the smile of the face is rejecting
The CLEAN of the crown he has won.
Still shadow sleep on in the vestment
Unstained by the priest who has gone,
Yea, sorrow weeps over the shadow,
But faith looks aloft to the skies,
And hope, like rainbow, is flashing
Ger the tears that rain down from
their eyes;
They murmur on earth DE profundis'
The low chant is mingled with signs
'Laudate' rings out through the heav-
ems
The dead priest has won his faiths
prize"
