Mary Moran Old Out East Mourns Death of Familiar Figure - Ardent
 Church Worker.
BY THE OUT EASTER

An old out east resident YVES buried Thursday morning, in the person of Mary Moran, who for many years lived in the old Moran homestead on East Main street just at the beginning of the road way supported by Q high dry wall, opposite the Scovill plant, com monly known as Department or building No. 1l2.
 old out east had known Miss Moran for these many years, Q good soul, who had been employed at the old spoon shop from the days of the reign of the late Capt. David B. Hamilton. She was one of the fine young women who had entered the employ in her gilrhood days, and who did not know what 1t was to be ern- ployed by any other concern.
 We, of this section of the city,
 remember her by reason of her attentiveness to the duties and cares of the altars of the church of the Sacred Heart in It's earliest days. Not that we are of that faith, for we are not, having been somewhat neglectful in our relig- ious duties in early life, and really having no religion of our own. Since those young days, we are what might be truthfully termed a Free Thinker.
 But there was . time when we "chummed" with lads of the Sa- cred Heart church, who ran er- rands for the clergy of other days, and also for the members of the choir, and the numerous fine young women engaged in the preparation of the altars. It was then that we got to know Miss Moran for the first time; we have remembered her since, . little per- son, kindly and thoughtful, and ever ready to do everything pos- sible in the interest of her church, and the members of the congre- gation.
 To us, she was a rare type, old fashioned, probably, in her ale glance to church and her &C., quaintances. The time she de- voted to the work she loved for her relignon Is probarbly not even given e thought by those now in authority, but to old out east her life in this capacity will never be forgotten. There were no sisters then, the altar work and other duties now performed by them were always done by the Children of Mary, of which Miss Moran was Q member.
 We out here who have watched her for 50 many years feel that If reward comes to those who de- serve 1t, Miss Moran will surely be one of the chosen few. The Out Easter himself however, Is a skeptic on these points, Some times we think 1t is waste of, energy. But VIC really pray not, for the sake of the many good church people we have seen go the way of all flesh.
 Perhaps the few good things Nils Moran enjoyed while on
 earth vii larnount to many more in the hereafter. Certainly, during her life, her goodness should bring her the joys and blessings one Is really entitled to for the great sacrifices made in behalf of others. sf
 No better soul ever breathed the good fresh air, of the old out east.
