| 0 N c ILLNESS
Oldtime Resident of Juneau

fects of Cancer.

Peter McCloskey, aged So, died at
1890 O'clock today at his home on
Calhoun Ave, after a long illness

Mr.. McCloskey was a true piO-
neer of the north, ever ready to
lend a helping hand to any one in
need, he was known to the old
timers and new corners, and even
when his illness made it necessary
for him to cease any activity, his
optimism and cheerfulness FREEDOM
mated over his suffering and made
it pleasure for his friends to be
with him.
Mr.. McCloskey is survived by his
wife, a daughter, Miss Laura, and
a son James. who is agent here for
the Canadian Pacific Railway Com
pany, all in Juneau at the present
time.
The funeral will be held at 8
O'Clock Monday morning at the
Catholic Church, of which faith Mr..
McCloskey was a member. Father
A. j. Rocatti will read the service.
