The church was crowded with relatives and friends of the deceased , who had assembled to pay their last respects the the departed pioneer and citizen. Father O'Toole delivered a beautiful funeral sermon, touching upon the high noble life of the departed one, and held out assurance to all that the deceased had lived a life in accordance with the doctrine of the church; that he had passed over to the other shore where sorrows are unknown and where he will receive the reward promised to those who serve His commandments.
