William j. Rooney; whose death oc- cured early Friday morning at his home on West Town street. was born August 3. 1894. in Norwich Town, the son of George and Mary (Murphy' Rooney. When six years old he re- ceived an injury on the school grounds which proved incurable. Such brave, patient endurance of much suffering is rarely seen in so marked a degree. When asked how he was, the cheery answer was "All right" or Feeling fine" For the past year he failed steadily, the end coming painlessly.
 In his studies he showed much en- thusiasm and was a promising pupil. He enjoyed the interests of his many hoy friends, and they in turn were de- voted to him. He was one of a mum her confirmed at Sacred Heart church September 8, 1910. In their loss the parents and uncle who have cared for him have the sympathy of neighhors and friends.
