The Rev. Father Connell, of Oakland,
was the officiating minister at the ser

| Cumberland accompanied the funeral
party to Oakland, returning to their
homes the same afternoon.
| Meath fiowery mantle they laid him,
The truest and kindest of friends;
Pilgrims, we too, are Fastening on
ward
To meet him at the journeys end.
No more shall we hear the glad sound
of his laughter,
Nor e'er viii we feel the warm clasp
of his hand;
For the angel Of death has called
Michael to heaven
Where may God bid him rest in the
! spiritual land.
