DEATH: MACKINNON - OBITUARIES - It is with extreme regret that we chronicle the death of the late Hugh McKinnon, aged 71 years, which occurred at Goose River on November 5. The deceased was in his usual health until a short time previous to his death, and his death will be a severe blow to a once happy homestead. A large concourse of people followed his remains to St. Peter's Church, where the funeral service was conducted by Rev. P. J. Gillis, after which his body was interred in St. Peter's cemetery. He was one of Goose River's most respected and beloved citizens. He leaves four sisters and a large circle of friends to mourn the loss of a kind and loving brother and affectionate friend; but scarcely had the veil of sorrow lifted when this household was again plunged into gloom by the death of a younger brother, John McKinnon, aged 66 years, after a protracted illness of ten months. The deceased suffered from that painful disease, cancer of the stomach, but he bore his fate with a truly christian spirit. His remains were interred beside his brother in St. Peter's cemetery, there to rest until the sounding of the trumpet which shall call us all together. – May their souls rest in peace.

DEATH: MACPHEE-MACDONALD - DEATH OF MRS. JOHN McDONALD OF BIG POND - Kate McPhee, wife of Mr. John McDonald, of Big Pond, died on Sunday morning, 9th inst., after but three days illness. She took sick on Wednesday night with symptoms of shivers of cold. Every effort was made to restore the circulation, but only with partial success. Medical aid was resorted to, but up to Saturday no improvement was noticeable; on the contrary, she grew much worse, and expressed her desire for the priest, who was soon at her side. Having fervently received the last rites of the Church, of which she was so consistent a member, she peacefully passed away some few hours later, in the 60th year of her age, leaving a disconsolate husband, two sons and one daughter, and several sisters and brothers. The deceased was a straightforward, sensible woman, a good neighbor, and a true friend and helper of religion. By her energy and assistance she was the means of contributing a good deal of money to her parish Church. She was always first in any movement of that kind. She was, too, a great friend of the sick and dying. Few deaths, indeed, took place in the neighborhood but she stood by the bedside, and ministered to the wants of the sick and suffering, and helped to console the bereaved. She will be missed in the community as few would. 45 sleighs followed her remains to St. Margaret's Cemetery on Tuesday morning. May her soul rest in peace.

MARRIAGE: MACPHEE-MACCORMACK - WEDDING BELLS - The bells of St. Margaret's Church rang merrily on Tuesday morning, the occasion being the marriage of Mr. Leo S. McCormack, of Big Pond, and Miss Alice McPhee, eldest daughter of Mr. Neil McPhee, of the same place. The nuptial knot was tied by the pastor, Rev. Father McLellan, in the presence of a few friends, after which the beautiful service of the marriage mass was proceeded with, and to which is attached the solemn blessing of the marriage from the altar, and ending with the final Benediction of the Church. The ceremony over, the party proceeded to the home of the bride's parents, where a sumptuous dinner was served to a few select friends of the contracting parties. In the afternoon the wedding party took a short drive, returning about dusk, when a most elegant wedding supper was spread out, and the neighbors and friends from far and near began to assemble. Ample justice being done the repast, music was next in order and the strains of the wedding reel brought out the newly-wedded pair. The dancing was continued till three o'clock, with great enthusiasm. During the night wine and cake were passed around to the guests at frequent intervals. There was plenty to eat, plenty to drink, and plenty to enjoy, and the guests joyfully participated in all; and with many kind expressions of pleasure and of good wishes for the future happiness of the principals, thus ended one of the most enjoyable weddings that took place on the north side for many a day.

DEATH: MACDONALD - OBITUARY - On Thursday evening, after a lingering illness, Miss Phoebe McDonald, daughter of Daniel A. McDonald, Esq., Rock Barra, departed this life, thus casting over the happy household a deep cloud of sadness. Consoled and strengthened by the rites of the Mother Church, she peacefully yielded up her soul to the Eternal Father, with perfect resignation, confident of a happy resurrection. Encouraging those around her in her last days to bear patiently the trials and cares of this life, she more than once expressed her happiness in drawing near the time for meeting her Saviour. The deceased had endeared herself by her kind, gentle and unassuming manner to a numerous circle of friends who sincerely mourn her loss, and whose deep sympathy go out to her sorrowing friends. Sad indeed has been the lot of this family.
Just about two years and a half ago, they were called upon to mourn the loss of a most affectionate wife and mother.
The concourse that followed the remains, on Saturday, to St. Columba Cemetery testified, in no small degree, the esteem in which the departed was held.
To the bereaved father, Mr. McDonald, and to his family, the PATRIOT tenders its sincere sympathy.

MARRIAGE: CAMPBELL-MCGRATH - A WEDDING - The quaint old church at Tracadie Head was the scene of a happy event on Monday last when the Rev. P. Hogan P.P. united in marriage Mr. William McGrath and Miss Amelia E. Campbell, both of Millcove. The bride was supported by Miss Mary McGrath and the groom by Mr. D. J. Campbell, brother of the groom.
After the marriage ceremonies the bridal party drove to the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Michael Campbell, where a number of friends had assembled to wish Mr. and Mrs. McGrath many years of happiness. After a pleasant evening spent in mirth and song the happy couple accompanied by their friends drove to their home.
A few more hours of "song and clatter" and the guests repaired to their respective homes, leaving the bride and groom confident that if good wishes could secure happiness for any one, their's was secured forever.
OBITUARY NOTICES.
The dread messenger, is making sad havoc in the eastern part of the Island by means of pneumonia which has, already, carried off many people. Among the victims last week were:
DEATH: MACCORMACK - ANGUS M'CORMACK, section man, Harmony Station, leaving a sorrowing widow and a child in the cradle. Mr. McCormack was only one week sick. He had the best of medical attendance and careful nursing; but of no avail. He passed away on Sunday morning, – the funeral taking place on the following day. It was one of the largest ever seen in the neighborhood, almost all of the Souris merchants and business men attending. He was buried with appropriate ceremonies in St. Mary's Cemetery, Rev. Father McDonald officiating. The deceased was an honest hard-working man and highly respected, and his death calls forth the deep sympathy of the comunity.
DEATH: MACAULAY - PETER MACAULAY, a brother-in-law of the above, was stricken with the same dread malady while attending McCormack. After a short week's illness he died on Saturday morning, and was buried on Monday morning. The great sympathy felt for his sorrowing widow and little family was fully shown by the large concourse of people of all shades, that followed the remains to St. Mary's Church where High Mass of Requiem was said by Rev. Father McDonald, and afterwards at the grave where all that was mortal was consigned to mother earth. Mr. McAulay was a man that was universally loved by his associates. His good cheer and amiable manners made a lovable companion on every occassion. Mr. McAulay was one of the very best violinists in the eastern part of the Island, and many will be reminded of the stirring melody of his grand music, and think that the hands from which came the soul stirring strains are now cold in death. Few men in the country were liked as Peter was, and the deep and heartfelt sympathy of his host of friends will go out to his sorrowing widow and family. Very remarkable, indeed, is to see two sisters widowed within one week.
DEATH: MACKENZIE - MRS. CAPT. MACKENZIE of Bayfield, Lot 46, has too succumbed to the fatal pneumonia. Her death took place on Saturday, and she was buried on Sunday. The death of Mrs. Mackenzie, was not so heart rending as that of the two proceeding; for she was ripe, having reached nearly four score years. She was the mother of Capt. Andrew McKenzie, who was lost last fall in the fishery trip, and the loss of her fine son, in the prime of life, no doubt hastened her death. Her aged husband still lives now in his 84th year, and her one daughter who will have the sympathy of all Christian people.

DEATH: MACINTYRE - OBITUARY - We regret to chronicle the demise of Capt. Daniel McIntyre, of Clear Spring, Lot 44, who died at his late residence at that place, on Wednesday, 17th Feb. in the 60th year of his age. Captain Dan, as he was familiarly called, was well and favorably known in eastern King's Co., was of a kind and genial disposition, and hospitable with all. He endeared himself to all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
In his official capacity as Supervisor for Lots 44 and 45, since 1891, he discharged his duties creditably to himself and satisfactorily to the Government under which he served.
Captain McIntyre, was a successful master mariner for twenty years. By his death the community in which he lived loses a sterling and upright man, and his widow and family a kind husband and loving father.
In his last moments he was consoled by the rites of the Catholic Church, of which he was a consistent member. His remains were interred in the Cemetery at St. Margaret's Church on Friday, Feb. 19th, followed by a cortege of 35 sleighs. The pall-bearers were:– George B. McEachern, James McEachern, Frederick Morrow, Angus J. McIntyre, Lewis McEachern, Francis McInnis. A Mass of Requiem was sung by the pastor, Rev. A. P. McLellan, assisted by members of the choir. Mr. Augustine McDonald presided at the organ. Deceased leaves a disconsolate widow, besides one son and five daughters to mourn their irreperable loss. – Requiescat in pace.

DEATH: MACAULAY-MACISAAC - OBITUARY - MRS. DANIEL MACISAAC - A dark shadow of sorrow and gloom hangs over the inhabitants of Souris Line Road entirely enveloping the whole community with its depressing folds and filling the hearts of all with pain. The will of the Great Creator hath been done and one of our loved ones has been called from amongst us to her bright, long happy home beyond the skies. The grim reaper has stretched forth his icy hand and now death clasps in its chilly embrace all that is mortal of the beloved wife of Daniel McIsaac, in the 47th year of her age. The deceased was formerly Rebecca McAulay, daughter of the late Dougald McAulay, of Tracadie, and has always enjoyed robust health up to Friday of last week, when she was seized with an attack of pneumonia. Medical aid was quickly summoned but despite the skill of Drs. Muttart and McLean, her illness terminated on Thursday at noon. Despite her illness she evidenced the deep tenor of her life, manifesting at all times resignation to the divine will, fortified with the last solemn rites of the Holy Catholic church by the pastor, Rev. Father McDonald, her virtuous soul went forth to meet its Maker, leaving many a friend to cherish her memory, and to condole with her bereaved husband, brothers and sisters. Since she became a resident of Souris Line Road by the sacrament of matrimony ten years ago, her life was cheered by the respect and affections of her many friends and acquaintances; this was practically manifested by the large concourse of sleighs, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, that followed her remains Saturday morning to St. Mary's church where a Requiem High Mass was celebrated at 9 o'clock for the repose of her soul, thence to St. Mary's cemetery where the last sad rites was performed, and the mortal remains of a most estimable lady was laid to rest.
She leaves a sorrowful husband, four sisters, two brothers and a large circle of friends and acquaintances to mourn their loss. To the bereaved we offer our heartfelt sympathy.

MACDONALD - REV. J. AUGUSTINE MCDONALD - Rev. J. Augustine McDonald, who for the past two years has been on the professorial staff of St. Dunstan's College, received a telegram a couple of weeks ago, from Bishop Shanley of Jamestown, North Dakota, offering him an extensive mission in that diocese. Father Augustine, after due consideration, decided to accept the offer, conscious of the great need of priests that existed in that distant portion of the Lord's vineyard, and his Lordship, Bishop McDonald, reluctantly consented to permit him to go. Father Augustine is a most pious and zealous priest, and is beloved by all who have formed his acquaintance. His modest and retiring disposition would incline him to take his departure quietly and without demonstration. But this his many friends would not permit. On Sunday last, he sang mass at Vernon River, his native parish, and took farewell of the friends of his youth and early manhood.

THE DAILY EXAMINER, MONDAY, APRIL 25, 1898
DEPARTURE OF REV. A. McDONALD
The list of Catholic missionaries whom P.E.Island has been sending in recent years to various diocese of the western United States has been increased by the departure on Thursday morning of Rev. Augustine McDonald for the distant region of North Dakota. No stronger proof can be given of the spirit of zeal which animates the young ecclesiastics of our province than the fact that about thirty natives of this diocese are either actively engaged in missionary work abroad or completing their preparations for such work in seminaries. Nearly all of these have been students of St. Dunstan's College; and, with an affection that neither time nor distance can weaken, remember the dear old spot where they began their preparation for the grave responsibilities of the priesthood.
Father McDonald is a native of Orwell and the first student of Vernon River parish that has been ordained priest. Like most of the younger members of the clergy he spent some years in the occupation of teacher in the public schools and since his ordination has been Professor at St. Dunstan's College. His many friends in this province to whom his excellent qualities of mind and heart are well known will long cherish the kindliest recollections of Father Augustine and will pray that his mission in the land of his adoption may be abundantly fruitful and merit for him the highest reward both temporal and eternal.
The priests, lay professors and students of St. Dunstan's College on the day previous to Father McDonald's departure presented him with a well filled purse and the accompanying address, to which the rev. gentleman replied in suitable terms: Rev. J. Augustine McDonald.
REV. DEAR FRIEND, – We have learned with deep regret that you are about to sever your connection with this institution and in response to the voice of the Master to enter upon the duties of a missionary in the distant diocese of North Dakota. The choice of such a step demands no little sacrifice and resolution. To bid adieu to home and kindred, to rend asunder the bonds of fellowship and brotherly intercourse, to turn away from the scenes of childhood which throng the halls of memory with happy recollections to cast one's lot amongst strangers, to shoulder increased responsibilities and to undertake the active duties of a priest's life in a foreign land – to do all this without faltering requires heroic courage and bespeaks a childlike confidence and simple trust in God which are worthy of our highest admiration.
Your departure from St. Dunstan's College with which you have for several years been intimately connected weakens a strong link in the chain of cherished remembrances which binds the past to the future. But ere the silken cord of genial companionship between us is forever broken let us endeavour to dispel the feeling of sadness which such separation naturally excites. To be assured that in your triple relation to us as friend, as teacher and as priest you have gained access to our hearts merited our affection may help to soothe the sorrow which you experience in departing and buoy you up with hope and courage in your future labors.
The example you have set us, the lessons you have taught us and the principles you have inculcated have sunk deeply into our minds and will be lovingly remembered even when the star of life grows dim in the twilight of approaching eternity.
Farewell then beloved friend, and we pray that God may give you strength to discharge the duties of your sacred calling faithfully and well that you may receive in an abundant measure the happiness which falls to the lot of the good priest here on earth.
Please accept the accompanying gift as a small token of the deep affection and high esteem we entertain for you.

DEATH: MACMILLAN - It is with the most profound regret we record the death of Rev. M. J. McMillan, of St. Teresa's. As our readers are aware, he has been at the point of death for several week's past.

He bore his long and painful illness with the most exemplary patience and resignation. The body will be removed to the Church with appropriate ceremomies this evening and the solemn Pontifical Mass and funeral service will take place at 9.30 tomorrow morning.

DEATH: MACMILLAN - REV. M. J. M'MILLAN - The forces for good in this Province have lost another strong worker in the person of Rev. M. J. McMillan, who passed away at St. Teresa yesterday afternoon, after a long and tedious illness, of cancer of the liver. Sincerity and earnestness were the characteristics of Father McMillan's ministry as a priest and a citizen. There was not a more sincere Christian in Prince Edward Island or one who more earnestly strove to promote the spiritual concerns of his church, or the temporal happiness and prosperity of his parishioners and the people of the Province at large. As a citizen he took a deep interest in agriculture, of which his knowledge was practical and his ideas advanced and sound. It is needless to say that Father McMillan was loved by his parishioners of St. Teresa as well as by his brethren in the Church. He was ordained at the same time as Bishop McDonald, twenty-five years ago, and was about fifty-five years of age. A large-hearted, good man has passed away in the midst of his years.

What has never happened before for priest or layman, the Archbishop, Bishop, and all the priests of the diocese were present, having gone by special train from St. Dunstan's at 7.30 in the morning, as well as all the parishioners of St. Teresa's and many from other portions of the province. Among those present were Judge Hodgson, Cyrus Shaw, M. L. A., and many others of prominence from a distance.
At 9.30 the Pontifical Requiem was commenced, and the solemn strains of the chant broke upon the ears of a packed and sorrowing congregation. The casket containing the mortal remains of the dead priest was placed among the blazing tapers just without the sanctuary. The officers of the Mass were: Bishop Macdonald, celebrant; Arch Priest Mgr. Gillis, Deacons of Honor, Very Rev. James Phelan, V. G., and Rev. R. B. Macdonald; Deacons of Office, Revs. A. J. Macdonald, and Peter Curran. Rev. I. R. A. Macdonald acted as Master of Ceremonies.
Archbishop O'Brien occupied his throne on the right of the sanctuary, with Revs. A. E. Burke and J. A. Macdonald as chaplains.
A strong choir composed of priests led by Rev. Father Gallant and including such well known voices as those of Dr. Chaisson, Dr. Doyle, S.T. Phelan, R. J. Gillis and others chanted the beautiful Requiem liturgy.
After the Mass Rev. Father Elliott, the celebrated Paulist now preaching a retreat to the priests, ascended the draped pulpit and preached a most beautiful and affecting discourse on the text "I am the resurrection and the life," etc. Several times the whole auditory was in tears and in the end the preacher was so affected himself as to sob audibly.
The absolutions were given by Archbishop O'Brien, and then to the solemn chant of the Benedictus the procession was formed, the Revs. S. Boudreault, James Æneas Macdonald, A. E. Burke, Dr. Walker, D. F. Macdonald and J. A. Macdonald bearing the casket followed by the whole people.
The function throughout was most imposing, and all united in saying that the dead priest was worthy of all the honor done his remains.

Stewart.
He left his home, where a wife, one child and a sister reside, this morning about seven o'clock to see about some cattle about two hundred yards away, or just across the line of his farm, to Mr. D. Egan's woods.
He took a piece of rope with him, with which he ended his life by hanging himself to a tree.
Last fall he attempted his life with Paris green and a rope, and was found by his sister hanging by the neck in his barn.
He was brought to life by a doctor, who arrived just in time.
It was thought at that time that financial difficulties were the cause of his act. He was about fifty years of age, – always a quiet and inoffensive man.

SOURIS ITEMS
Mr. Shaw, jeweler, has completed a beautiful shop and dwelling on the corner of Main and ---------- Sts. Mr. Creamer was the builder, and his work on the Shaw building is a credit to the town and a lasting testimony to his ability. Mr. Creamer is erecting another building on Stone Street.
Mr. A. R. McDonald, blacksmith, has remodelled and beautified his dwelling. The front is now very handsome and bright, with fancy shingling and a fresh coat of paint all the work done by himself – pretty good for a blacksmith.
Mr. Cox, proprietor of the Sea View, has purchased the shop and dwelling of Mrs. Sterns, Main St., opposite E. McKenzie's, and is fitting it up for a first-class hotel. The apartments now occupied by Mr. Cox, known as the Sea View, is being refitted, remodelled and enlarged for a gentleman from Halifax, who is to run it as a high class hotel. Souris will soon be well supplied with first-class hotels.
A very comfortable and cheap hotel is the American House, kept by Mrs. McDonald.
Mr. G. B. McEachern is going into business with his brother Charles, who will remove his large business from Boston to Souris. This ought to be a firm that should take a good trade.
Mr. R. F. McDonald has opened a nice grocery and provision store on Upper Main street opposite the telephone office, and is doing a good trade on his own account. Mr. McDonald is one of Souris' most popular residents, socially as well as in business, and deserves a share of the people's patronage.
And now very few of the Liberals would want to "shaft" "Marshal." The Souris post-office and its genial Postmaster are so associated in the minds and hearts of the people that a disassociation would now be unlooked for.
With his official duties and work in the shop L. P. Campbell, Esq., (NOTE: Is this S. P. Campbell, Esq.??) is quite busy. Not much smuggling going on in Souris now!
Gabriel McDonald, of Charlottetown, is visiting his old friends in Souris. Gabriel looks hale and hearty and his many friends are glad to see him.
Mr. Frederick Morrow, the genial and obliging collector of customs, is quite busy and attentive to his duties. None more so.
Daniel McEachern, the tonsorial artist of the town, is doing a humming trade in his pleasant and commodious quarters opposite Matthew & McLean's. Dan does the business of the town in his line and heartily deserves the extensive patronage he gets.
Mr. M. J. Foley, ex-collector of the port of Souris, still occupies his old quarters and does a good trade. Mr. Foley is one of the most intelligent and popular men in the town, an all round man, an encyclopedia of universal knowledge and a graceful and pungent writer.

McDougall, looked for the last time on his grieved parents and friends who were kneeling by his bedside, sorrowfully awaiting the moment on which he would pass from this world of woe to his eternal reward, at the early age of 18 years. The deceased had been in delicate health for some years past, but had bright hopes for the recovery of his former health and vigor. But Providence decreed otherwise. Having been recently attacked by measels, his former expectations were shattered by the reappearance of that fatal disease – consumption which terminated fatally. His last hours were alleviated by the care and assiduity of his bereaved parents, and solaced by the last sacrament of the Holy Church of which he was a constant and practical child. He died fully trustful in the mercy of God and in resignation to His Divine will. It is unnecessary to recount the many estimable qualities of which he was possessed, his associates will testify to those who will long cherish his memory with love. A large concourse of people followed his remains to St. Bonaventure's Church, where a requiem mass was celebrated by our esteemed pastor Rev. P. J. Hogan, and thence to the adjoining cemetery.

To the poor and needy she often granted very material assistance. These kind and lasting remembrances and the enduring respect in which she was held by the whole community was evidenced by the large concourse of people who came to pay their last respects to a worthy neighbor on Friday morning, when her remains were conveyed to St. Alexis' Church at Rollo Bay, and a solemn Requiem High Mass celebrated, in the absence of the Rev. Dr. Walker, by the Rev. Father Turbide, of Tignish, and the last rites of the Holy Roman Catholic Church performed by the Rev. D. F.

The particulars of Mr. Sullivan's sudden illness, his going into Messrs. Reddin Bros.' Drug Store and subsequent death there, were given in yesterday's PATRIOT. Last evening the body was conveyed by undertaker Hennessey to the residence of the deceased's brother, Chief Justice Sullivan, at Brighton, and this morning by train to St. Peter's.
Mrs. Sullivan, and Miss Ellie Sullivan, Rev. Fr. Gillis, Dr. McDonald and Mr. L. Doyle came to town by the eastern train last evening about two hours after Mr. Sullivan's death.
The late Mr. John P. Sullivan was born at New London, and for years past carried on a general merchandise business at St. Peter's Bay, besides being engaged in agriculture. He was a man of splendid physique, and was as large in heart and broad in mind as he was big in body. Mr. Sullivan enjoyed the high esteem of the community in which he resided, and was noted for his integrity and upright dealing. He represented St. Peter's in the Provincial Legislature, and was moderate in politics, always evincing an earnest desire to safeguard the interests of his constituents.
In his last hours Mr. Sullivan evidenced the courage and assurance of a man who had lived in the fear and admonition of the Lord. With steadfastness and calmness, he awaited the dread summons, at times conversing with those about him, and expressing his last wishes clearly and unfalteringly.
His brother Chief Justice Sullivan and members of the latter's family were with him to the last.
To the bereaved widow and daughter the PATRIOT offers its sincerest sympathy in their unusually sad bereavement.

Appropriate music was rendered on the occasion by Miss Ellie Sullivan. At the conclusion of the ceremony the bridal party drove to the Railway station, where they left by the morning train on a visit to Boston by way of St. John. The bride was the recipient of many handsome presents. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald intend making their future home in Charlottetown. THE PATRIOT congratulates Mr. and Mrs. McDonald and wishes them abundant happiness.

MARRIAGE: MACINTYRE-MACDONALD - WEDDING BELLS - At St. Andrew's Church, on Tuesday 27th, ult., there took place the marriage of Mr. D. J. V. McDonald and Miss Sarah McIntyre, both of Mt. Stewart. The bride was attired in a charming suit of grey cloth trimmed with green velvet and cream satin. She was attended by Miss Nellie McDonald, while Mr. Ronald McDonald supported the groom. In the evening a reception was held at the home of the bride, where a large number of guests made merry far into the night. A table, literally loaded with silver, china, glass, etc., attested to the popularity of the young couple. Miss McIntyre was one of Mt. Stewart's most popular young ladies, and we are glad she is not removing from our midst, as she will still adorn our social circle which could ill afford to lose so charming a member. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald have the good wishes of the entire community.

DEATH: MACDONALD - OBITUARY - We deeply regret to have to announce the death of Mary Florence McDonald, daughter of D. G. McDonald Esq., Bonwell, Lot 30, which sad event occurred on the 20th inst. During the lingering illness of the deceased every means that suggested themselves to fond and loving parents were resorted to in the hope of her recovery. But the most tender care and nursing of anxious parents and the best efforts of skilled physicians were unavailing. The end came on the morning of the 20th inst., when the pure spirit of little Mary Florence winged its way to its Heavenly Home. The deceased was in the eighth year of her age, and for one of such tender years was a remarkably bright intelligent child. Her gentle winning way endeared her to her parents, won the ways of her little playmates and made her a general favorite of all. On Wednesday the 20th inst., the funeral cortege slowly wended its way to St. Joseph's Church, Kelly's Cross, and was one of the largest witnessed in this locality for a number of years, there being seventy carriages in the procession. The Mass of Requiem was sung by Rev. J. Æ. McDonald, Hope River, uncle of the deceased, who was assisted at the burial service by the pastor, Rev. D. B. Reid, after which the remains of little Mary Florence were tearfully laid to rest in the quiet churchyard of St. Joseph. Needless to say Mr. and Mrs. McDonald have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in the loss of their only and dearly beloved child. But in their sad bereavement they find a sweet consolation in the words of the loving Saviour, "Suffer little children to come unto Me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven."

DEATH: MACDONALD - OBITUARY - On Tuesday, the 29th ult. Daniel McDonald, a highly respected resident of Rock Barra, King's County, passed away after a severe and lingering illness, which he bore with christian resignation. Although for some time beforehand the members of his family and the numerous friends round about him knew death was fast approaching, yet not until the final blow came did they realize the extent of their loss and the strength of their sorrow. Then a young and sorrowing family, but lately bereft of a mother, felt what it is to be completely orphaned, to lose a loving and only parent, one who was all strength, love and comfort to them. Great sympathy is felt for the afflicted family.
The deceased was a man of upright and sterling character, honored and respected by all who knew him. His death is deeply regretted by the community in which he moved; for they realize that by his removal from their midst a void has been created that cannot be easily filled – that a striking model of sobriety, honesty and christian piety has passed away.
The large number of people who followed the mortal remains of the deceased to their last resting place is fully indicative of the great respect and esteem in which he was held. May his soul rest in peace. – COM.

DEATH: GILLIS - At Mt. Stewart, Dec. 4th, Katie Gillis, daughter of Allan Gillis and Penelope McDonald, departed this life after a short illness, at the youthful age of fifteen. The close attention of a skilled physician, aided by tender parental care, failed to restore her health, and she quickly gave way to the call of the silent but sure-to-come visitor – Death. Being talented and most industrious, as well as being of a mild and cheerful disposition, her death is a cause of sorrow to her disconsolate parents and sisters. The funeral to St. Andrew's was largely attended by the neighboring community and relatives of the deceased, among whom was Rev. I. R. A. McDonald, P.P., of St. Teresa's. After High Mass of Requiem, celebrated by Rev. Monsignor McDonald, P.P., and the usual funeral service, her remains were interred in the parish cemetery. May her soul rest in peace.

DEATH: MACDONALD-MCMANUS - OBITUARY - It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce, today, the death of Flora M. McDonald, wife of Mr. John McManus, Bonshaw, at the early age of thirty-two years. Although deceased had been ailing for some time past it was hoped that tender nursing and the best efforts of skilled physicians would restore her to health. But alas! the fond hopes of a devoted husband and loving ones were not to be realized. Day by day the dread Messenger drew nearer and pitilessly claimed its victim on the morning of the 5th inst. Mrs. McManus possessed many estimable traits of character which made her a general favorite in the circle in which she moved, and endeared her to a large number of friends and acquaintances. She was kind and gentle in disposition, a cheerful companion, a sympathetic friend, a loving wife and tender mother. Above all she lived an exemplary life, and fortified by the Sacraments of the Church, and surrounded by loving relatives and friends she died a truly Christian death. Her demise in the prime of life, leaving a sorrowing husband and five small children, one being but a few days old (since deceased) is particularly sad, and has cast a shadow of sorrow over the community in which she resided. Her remains were interred on Wednesday, the 7th inst., at St. Ann's Church, Lot 65, where a Requiem Mass was celebrated by the Pastor, Rev. D. B. Reid. His Lordship Bishop McDonald and Father James Æneas McDonald, uncle of the deceased, occupied seats in the Sanctuary. His Lordship performed the Absolutions, the choir being assisted by the Rev. Fathers Doyle, Monaghan, T. Curran, and J. J. McDonald. The last rites being performed the remains were consigned to their last resting place in St. Ann's Churchyard, to await a glorious resurrection. The pall-bearers were William Leonard, Cyrus W. Crosby, James Wynn, Hugh McMillan, James A. Robertson, Michael Conway. The funeral was largely attended by persons of all denominations, who, notwithstanding the early hour and unfavorable travelling, came from different localities to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed and attest their sympathy for the bereaved husband and relatives. Besides the sorrowing husband and four children, the deceased leaves a mother, five sisters, one brother, and a large circle of friends and acquaintances to mourn their irreperable loss, to all of whom we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement. May her soul rest in peace. Com.

After the funeral service the mortal remains of the deceased were interred in the adjoining cemetery, to await, let us hope, a glorious resurrection.
