Died at His Home at s1s Morgan
street at 1t:4o
O'Clock Last
Night.
WAS BORN IN IRELAND
Came Here Many Years Ago, and
Worked on the Government
Lock Of the
Canal.

william H. Kilroy, an old and re-
spected citizen died at his home 319
Morgan street, at 11:40 o'clock last
night, OF complication of ailments,
from which he had suffered for about
five months. He had been in Ill health
all during the past winter.
Mr.. Kilroy was born in Galway,
Ireland, April 8, 1852, and came to
this country in 1868. After working
at his occupation as stone cutter In
number Of cities and at the time Of
the building of the canal an this point
he came to Keokuk and worked on
thu government looks here.
On June 6, 1875, he was married to
Miss Barbara Wendell Schneider, a
popular young woman of the city. who
proved an excellent companion whose
lamented death occurred July 25, four
wears ago, two children surviving.
Miss M. Elizabeth Kilroy. a young
lady of culture, and an efficient teach.
er in the Keokuk public schools, and
one son James H. Kilroy, promis
ing young business man Of the city.
Mr.. Kilroy was well known in Keo'
kuk where he had lived so long, for
the past four years holding the posi-
ton of street inspector, the duties OF
which he performed efficiently. OF
the strictest integrity, he looked close
" after the interests OF the people
whom. he served with the same care
TINT he would look after his own at
fairs. An expert judge of the material
used in street work he was steadfast
AMI conscientious in seeing that the
kind of material contracted for was
used. He was genial, companion
able gentleman and was usually the
life OF the crowd with yhom he was
associated. There was a humorous vein
that continued with him, which was
the source OF much amusement and
real entertainment to his friends ana
companions, but when the serious
times came he regulated himself to
meet the occasion. He carried big
heart in his breast, was sympathetic
in his nature and true friend he
had no enemies as he was careful In
his intercourse with the world to
wrong no man and consequently had
many friends among all classes OF
citizens. He was kind husband,
loving and careful father, generous
neighbor and considerable and valu.
able citizen. There will be feelings
of sincere sorrow as the news goes
round that BILLY" Kilroy is dead.
Mr.. Kilroy was a devoted member
Of the United Presbyterian church. He
was also member Of Keokuk lodge
Of ODD Fellows, Puckechetuck encamp
ment and of Colfax lodge No. 4, Do
gree Of Rebekah.
The funeral will be held at the resi-
dence at O'Clock tomorrow after

Bulletin No. 81

From the opening made available in South
America for United States commerce, by the
European war, it behooves the people OF keokuk,
together with the other cities Of this country to
prepare to meet the opportunity for increased
commerce. This opportunity is one OF the great
opportunities which has come to this country
Previous to the Civil war we carried the
trade of the world. During the Civil war the
carrying end of the worlds commerce was taken
over by foreign nations who have monopollzed 1t
to the present time Today the European sltua-
ton not only opens to us the carrying trade
again. which the Panama Canal makes especial
" good for all shippers waterway leading to
the gulf but opens to us Markets OF which we
had never dreamed.
This is one reason why the people Of Keokuk
should plan for the citys growth and the cltys
industries and be willing to assist in every reas-
enable manner.
