of Undertaken Thomas keenan,, had
died at his home on West Broadway,
following an illness of only a few
days of double pneumonia. Since
leaving Notre Dame University he
was associated with his father in the
undertaking business, and each year
developed in him the greatest asset
that any man could possess, a noble,
upright character, whose heart was
ever tender and true, whose ears
were ever open to the tale of sorrow
and woe, and whose hand was ever
extended in charity to the unfor-
tunate and afflicted From his boy
hood up Tommy Keenan, lived his re-
ligion in every act of his life. His
was a CHEEKY, happy nature, with al
ways a genial smile that many will
miss. He was a member of the
Hibernians, Mackin Council and the
st. Vincent de Paul Society. Sur
viving him are his wife and one child,
his parents and one brother and
three sisters, to whom is extended
most sincere sympathy in their sad
bereavement. The funeral will take
place this morning at 9 o'clock from
Holy Cross church, with a solemn
high mass of requiem. May his soul
rest In peace.

fearful jealousies on the part OF her
more powerful neighbor, who pro-
ceeded to crush Ireland again by
acts of repression. This led to re-
bellion and bloodshed and the execu-
tion of Robert Emmett, followed by
the destruction of Irish industries.
Then came seventy years of horror,
broken only by the gurgling cries of
strangled people. Young Ireland
rose in 1s4S, led by dozen educated
young men, but the effort was futile.
Famine had starved to death a MILL
ion people the year before, another
million fled to foreign shores, the
| life blood of the nation was ex-
hausted and her children scattered to
the four corners Of the earth, but
preserving good memories.
