In Memoriam

Mrs. James HEARN

Petty Harbor, Dec. 31.—Just before the old year ended, on December 30th Mary Elizabeth, beloved wife of James HEARN, passed into the Great Beyond after a long illness.  The regular attendance of Dr. CARTER, P.P., and the unceasing visits of Dr. BENNETT, helped during these weeks of suffering to relieve the moments when dark shadows crossed the threshold.  It was a sad event in the history of the lives of the HEARN family, as well as her own relatives when the deceased crossed the great divide.  Formerly Miss Minnie DOYLE, she not only her husband to mourn, but five children.  Thee are several other, relatives—two sisters, Mrs. J. P. DUFFY and Mrs. Norah KELLY; two brothers, John and William, the latter of the power plant at Petty Harbor.  The funeral obsequies took place on New Year’s afternoon, and the attendance was a striking tribute to the charitable disposition and kindly qualities of the deceased.  Dr. CARTER, P.P., officiated at the last rites, and the undertaking arrangements were looked after by N. J. MURPHY.  To her husband, and family, as well as to all her relatives and numerous friends, we tender our sincere sympathy......
And so the time had come ,
When earth called back to earth
Through winter snows.
And thus another enter into rest.
With one Who knows.”
J. D.

JOHN MURPHY

Heart’s Content, Jan. 3—The angel of death has visited Heart’s Content and taken from us one of the citizens in the person of John MURPHY in his 61st year.  Mr. MURPHY acted a heavy chill while working as foreman on the highroads the past summer, which brought on a serious ailment from which he never recovered.  During his illness he was never heard to murmur or complain and all that loving hands could do was done for him, but despite all he passed very peacefully away on Sunday, December 22nd., receiving the rites of his Church but two hours before.  The funeral took place on Christmas day and was very largely attended the U. S. F. attending in a body, the late Mr. MURPHY being a life-long member .  Left to mourn his passing are Miss Frances and Matt at home.  George of New York, who arrived home just before the end came; and Malcolm of New York; a brother Mr. Archibald MURPHY, and a sister, Mrs, Sarah SINYARD, to all of whom sincere sympathy is extended.—Until the day dawn.
 

JOHN SAUNDERS

Sydney, N.S.—.On December 22nd at Sydney, N.S. there passed peacefully away a highly respected native of St. John’s West, the late John SAUNDERS, brother of Peter, who died in Montreal about ten years ago.  John was a shipwright here for many years and a very familiar figure daily in this port of ships.  He left here for Sydney about 28 years ago, and was employed for a number of years with the Steel Co.  Subsequently retiring owing to ill health.  He was the last of a large family familiar to many on and about St. John’s and the whole country.  He lived to a good old age 83 years.  He is survived by three daughter—Mrs. Harris McGRATH, Arlington, Mass., Miss Bride with the Catholic Record staff of London, Ont., and Miss Margaret at home.  His wife and only son predeceased him many years ago.  He was a prominent member of the Star of the Sea association for over thirty years.  His funeral took place Christmas eve when a requiem Mass was sung in the Church of the Sacred Heart by the pastor, Rev. J. H. McDONALD.  Interment was at the Holy Cross cemetery, where service was conducted by Rev. Father LANDRY. May his soul rest in peace.
 

Mrs. JOHN HANN

Wesleyville—A message was received on Saturday night by Mrs. Flora KEAN from her brother, Jesse HANN, acquainting her of the fact that her granddaughter, Mrs. John HANN, had passed away during the day, and I was requested to write her obituary .  Of her very little can be said that has not already been said, for the news that she had attained her centenary birthday on the 18th day of August last was well ventilated through our daily papers.  She was the mother of eleven children, seven daughters and four sons, of whom six are still living, Capt. George HANN, Peter and Charles, Mrs. William BARBOUR, Mrs. Jacob BLACKMORE (of New York) , and Mrs. Cornelius WINSOR of Westeyville.  Shortly after her last child was born deceased lost her husband.  He was drowned crossing the ice on an arm of water not far from his home at Cape Freels.  She was very closely to her children and stayed with them all through her widowhood, giving them her council and advise.  They in turn were most obedient children and most reverently respected their mother.  On her centenary birthday which happened to be on a Sunday, the Rev. Hr. HILLIER preached a sermon in honor of her old age, and she attended church in person, walking from her house to the church without apparent inconvenience.  Hundreds of people all over the shore attended the service and to show their respect for her took up a collection and presented her with a purse of money to commemorate the occasion.   She was a Methodist by persuasion and in her younger days took a very active part in church work, and many clergymen will recall the motherly care and attention they received at her home and will never forget the welcome with which she always greeted them on the arrival.  The end has come, but not untimely, so far as we are able to judge.  We Believe her long life was in large measure due to the fact the she did not worry but was of a pleasant turn of mind, kind in disposition had a good word for every body, lived a good life , consequently every part of the body and mind worked in unison together. That the end should come just on the beginning of a new year seems to me to be very fitting. she has commenced a new year in a new world and has begun a new life, and according to the faith she lived we believe will play her part in the future with the spirits of just men and women made perfect.  What that life will be we can only conjecture.  We have however, faith in the life Mrs. HANN lived among us here to believe she has gone to meet the “well done” of her master, I am not offering my sympathy to her surviving children on the contrary I offer them my congratulation.  To live in the memory of such a mother is something to be thankful for.—         A. KEAN

AMBROSE FORWARD

Ambrose, son of Delbert and Bertha Forward, died of paralysis in the Hospital at St. John’s on Tuesday morning at 4.30, after about 4 months there. He had gone to Labrador with the family in the early summer, hoping that the change might be a benefit to his health, but after a few weeks was compelled to return again to linger and die.  He had for a considerable time endured patiently and submissively his long and wearisome sickness, until he passed away, quietly as a little child, and so resigned to his fate, that the end might almost be called a happy one.

Almost the largest funeral we have ever seen on the South side followed the remains of a young man who was greatly respected.  The children of the Sunday School, quite a gathering led by the long faithful superintendent, Mr. Robert Frazie, and the teachers, helped to swell the number which filled the church where the writer was requested to address a few words to the congregation and to the relatives and near friends of the departed. “Rock of Ages,” “Asleep in Jesus“ and The Morning Flowers,”were the appropriate hymns on the occasion.  Miss Florrie Taylor, the school teacher, was organist.  The minister for the service was Rev. Mr. Burge.  Besides his parents, he leaves his two brothers, Cecil and Maxwell and his loving sister Marjoria who certainly miss him for a long time in the quite home.  The coffin was very profusely covered with flowers from kind friends, and the snow falling on the coffin, a symbol in a way of the life that had been lived, was beautiful white.  We sympathize deeply with the bereaved friends, and would remind them of the inspiring hope of the last verse of the hymn:---

“Let sickness blast and death devour,
If heaven must recompense our pain,
Perish the grass and fade the flower,
If firm the word of God remain.”

Mrs.E. E. ULPH

Mr. S. R. Dawe of the Western Union Telegraph Co. Bay Roberts was advised by cable on Saturday morning of the death of his sister Mrs. E.E. Ulph at St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, where she and her husband resided since the departure from Bay Roberts some four or five years ago.  The late Mrs. Ulph was never of robust health but it was hoped her visit to Newfoundland from which she returned less than a year ago had benefitted her considerably. the news of her death is therefore a great surprise to family and friends.
Mrs. Ulph was the daughter of Mrs. and the late Capt. Henry Dawe of Bay Roberts.  Besides the brother mentioned, she is survived by another who is clerk in charge with the C. P. R. at Canso, N.S.   There are seven sisters, one, Mrs. (Rev.) Wright , residing in England, Mrs. Robert Dawe, Mrs. E J Godden of this city, Mrs. J W Dawe and Mrs. Edward Dawe of Bay Roberts and Mrs. W. N. Ford and Mrs. Arthur White , of Heart’s Content.  There will be much sympathy felt for the mother and family in their bereavement.

7 Young Folk Drowned during Sleigh Ride on Exploits Run

Bodies of Six Girls and Boy Not Recovered Last Night From Tragedy Of Wednesday—
Thought May gone Though in Steamer’s Channel.

When a sleigh crashed through the ice in the Exploits Ships Run somewhere near Point of the Bay, about a dozen miles below Botwood, on Wednesday evening, seven young women and girls were drowned.  They were Effie BUGDELL, S.A. teacher, Phillips Head, ages 25; Doris PELLY, Phillips Head, aged 17, Carrie BAKER, Philips Head, aged 20, Chesley ,Bessie and Ethel PECKFORD, children of Edwin PECKFORD, Point of Bay, ages respectively 18, 16 and 14 years; and Matilda MARSH Point of Bay, aged 11 years.
Up to last evening the bodies had not been found, the presence of a swift current making their recovery a difficult problem.

Intimation of the tragedy was received by the Justice Department yesterday from magistrate Fitzgerald, of Grand Falls, who has been notified by Rev. W. J. Woolfrey, of Botwood.

Up to midnight last nigh no further word had been received either in the city or by Magistrate Fitzgerald at Grand Falls, but the latter had sent the police constable at Botwood to the scene of the tragedy to report Point of the Bay lies on the mainland opposite the end of Thwart Island and is the beginning of the Ships Run.  In explanation of the disaster, it is possible that a channel cut by one of the late outgoing Anglo-Nfld Development steamers from Botwood, lightly frozen over, but indistinguishable from being firmer surrounding ice once covered with snow, may have proved the treacherous surface which caused the tragedy.
Lady Squire, who is the representative for this district, informed the News that she had received no word but had telegraphed for information.

CAPTAIN  PATRICK  HICKEY

Harbor Main, Jan. 19—There passed peacefully away after a very short illness, on the 10th January, a highly respected resident in the person of the late Captain Patrick Hickey.  Deceased had reached the ripe age of 81 years, and up to a short while ago had enjoyed his usual perfect health, and was engaged at his ordinary occupation.  A malady that at first was considered trivial, however, became more acute and in spite of medical attendance, it made such inroads on his condition that he began to weaken, and on Friday after having received the last rites of the holy church, he passed away.  Captain Hickey was one of the “old school” of seamen, now , however, fast disappearing,—the days of “Iron men and wooden ships”.  In his earlier years he was engaged in the coastal trade, and shore fishery, and later became master of a banking vessel, and for several years made many successful voyages, and to his memory, it may be said that through his fearlessness and good judgement he never met with a serious mishap while engaged at the bank fishery.  Of late years he fished on the Labrador , and Hickey’s room at Griffin’s harbor was well known to all along the coast.  His many friends at St. John’s and in other parts of the country, will be grieved to hear of his passing.  The funeral took place on Monday and after solemn requiem Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Dwyer. the funeral cortege wended its way to the cemetery on Harbor Main ridge, followed by a large concourse of people.  Besides his widow, he leaves to mourn two daughters at home, Mrs. P Kennedy (merchant), and Mrs. P. D. Hannon (teacher), and two in the U.S.A., Isabella and Mrs. C. Cunningham, also two sons, Patrick in U.S.A., and Thomas in Canada, to whom the sympathy of the entire community is extended.

IN MEMORIAM

LEARIE—In loving memory of our dear son and brother, William (Billy) Learie, who died March 23, 1929.

We deeply mourn for you, dear Billy
No one may see us weep,
But many a silent tear is shed
When others lie asleep.
We think of you in silence
When your name we often call,
But there is nothing lef to answer

But your photo on the wall.
The midnight stars are shining

On a lone and silent grave
Beneath sleeps one we deeply love
Yet one we could not save.
His many nights and hours of pain
His tollsome days are passed.
His ever patient worn-out frame
Has found sweet rest at last.
You suffered much you murmured not
We Watched you day by day.
Until the last with broken hearts
We saw you pass away.
(Inserted by Father , mother, brothers and sisters)

Woodford, of Harbor main and Mrs. W. E. Delary, New Jersey, U. S. A. and one son, Denis with whom he resided.  R. I. P.

ALOYSIUS FOLEY

  It is a sad duty to record the death of a young man in the person of Aloysius Foley, at the early age of twenty-seven years.  During the winter his health began to fail, and through with careful nursing and unceasing care he rallied for a time, but his frail constitution was unable to withstand the disease and he passed away on June 30th, fortified by the rites of Holy church from a world of miseries to enter that glorious kingdom where care and sorrow are unknown.  As we live so shall we die.  This saying was truly verified in Aloysius Foley’s death , for it was peaceful and tranquil as his life.  On Tuesday evening the funeral knell sent out its mournful peel over our little settlement and the funeral cortege could be seen wending it way slowly down the hillside to the church of the Sacred Heart.  The officers and members of the Holy Name Society, of which the deceased was a member, paid a last tribute of respect by attending the obsequies in processional order.  After the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin had been recited in the church for the repose of his soul, the body was conveyed too the little wayside cemetery, when all that was
mortal of the young man was consigned to mother earth.  He leaves to mourn a loving mother and one brother, James, to whom the writer wishes to extend his sincere sympathy, and trust that time which is the great healer of sorrow will soothe the heartache, which the loss of an unselfish and loving brother can cause.  May his soul rest in peace.

MONDAY AUGUST 4 1930
