years welded into splendid, sincere lifelong friendships.
 She was woman of many ad- mirable qualities, charitable, kind, sympathetic and loyal. She was devoted mother, ,teadfast friend, whose long, useful life was replete with acts of kindness and a neigh bor, whose broad and tender sym- pathies tempered life's reverses for many and brought happiness to countless others. Her motherly de- votion to large family was ideal. Her home life reflected particularly the traits of the sterling character that was hers. Her hospitable nature will be treasured as a memory by many, indebted to her for inspira- tion of examples or beneficiaries of her unselfish deeds.
 Mrs. Neagle in her three-score years of life in Waterbury witnessed many changes in the rapidly devel- oping city, the coming and passing of many of its outstanding resi- dents. Her death now will occasion city, wide sorrow among her neigh bors in the Baldwin street and Mitchell avenue sections as well as throughout the city.
 The deceased was devoted com municant of the church of the Immaculate Conception. She was an active worker in it's many and varied interests for years. Her faith full attendance was but another ex- pression of her loyalty and her vir- tues.
 Surviving her are three daughters, Mrs. Michael Parker of New York city and Helen and Marguerite Neagle of this city: four sons, Gar rett, Patrick, James and Robert Neagle of this city; wo sisters, Mrs. Ellen Nolan and Mrs. Mary Sulli- van, brother, Daniel Foley of this city and four grandchildren.
 The funeral will rs held from the home on Thursday morning at 8:15 o'clock to the Immaculate Concep- tion church where solemn mass of requiem will be celebrated at g o'clock. Burial will be in old St. Jo- seph's cemetery.
