His funeral was largely attended Wednesday morning from St. John's Catholic Church, where a solemn requiem mass was celebrated by the pastor Rev. Thomas Brown, after which a large number of people in carriages accompanied the remains to West Rutland for burial in the family lot, in the Catholic Cemetery at that place. The following old time friends of the deceased were bearers: P. Sweeney,Michael O'Neil, P.J. McCarty, P.F. Lavery, John Brough,and James Brennan. He is survived by a widow, one son James and three daughters Mary, Margaret and Mrs. Charles McCarty. James Carney ws born in county Tipperary Ireland (Newport), 84 years ago, and in common with the great mass of his misgoverned countrymen in the days of his youth, he had little opportunity for education but was richly endowed with native wit and the natural passion of his race poetry and song. When the great temperance revival of 1840 ,inaugurated by Fr. Matthew of blessed memory, swept over Ireland, James took the pledge and to the last days of his long and good life, no drop of strong drink ever passed his lips. He always remembered his creator and was never known to utter a profane word. He came to West Rutland in 1855 and a few years later entered the employ of the late Moses Jackman and after continued in the employ of his widow and her son in law E.H. Armstrong, until after the death of those people, a period of 45 years. It is to the credit of the two surviving scions of this family, that when the burden of years and family affliction pressed heavily on the faithful friend who had served them in their infancy and their people before them, that from their home in the great city they remembered "dear old Jimmy" and testified their remembrance otherwise then by empty words. No man in a generation who has passed from the activities of life in Castleton will be more kindly remembered than this unpretentious and cheerful old man. The writer (James Brennan),who has lived for forty years a near neighbor to him and has passed him coming and going during all the years on the daily mill horse round, can say as was written long ago of another, "Farewell kindly old friend , you are gone and we may never see your like again" "West Rutland Marble Bawn" by Jimmy Carney Come all ye good people attend for awhile to a story I will unfold; The truth I'll tell you'll know right well as I was plainly told. A dollar a day will be your pay and go work at the earliest dawn; It is a weary life to be pleasing a wife and cutting the Marble Bawn. The Irish Boys that fear no noise ,they will stand on the rock so brave; The noise of their drill will never be still but echoing in your ear; They'll stand in a line like the Wild Geese flying, and they will never be scolding or jawing; They are the very best boys threat ever wore frieze for chipping out the Marble Bawn When I came to this state it was very late, about nine in the afternoon; The night being dark and I being strange , I knew not where to roam; But I started on the train and to West Rutland I came, where the steam mill is always sawing The beautiful marble stone the like was never known; they call it the Marble Bawn. There is one man still, they call John Gill I must not forget to praise; He's working hard from morn till night , and he never stands at ease; The noise of his sledge on an iron wedge, like shot when the trigger is drawn; He's the best in the state, of his size or weight, for raising the Marble Bawn. Now Sheldon has a ledge, it lies to the south, it is the deepest in the diggings all around; And Parker has a ledge it lies to the north it is the latest that has been found. But Sherman has a ledge in the midst of them both , that the like of it was never known; There's nothing can compare but the snow from the air, to that beautiful marble stone. So now when you are dead with a stone at your head to mark where your body do lie; Your parents will lament, they'll be discontent and bitterly they'll weep and cry; And then it will be your doom to lie beneath a tomb that the Cross will be so neatly drawn; Your name will be enrolled and prayers for your soul will be engraven on the Marble Bawn. So now my song will end and success to every friend that ever left the Shamrock Shore; May they live in peace with the Yankee race and each other dearly adore. So now we are free in the land of liberty where no tyranny over us will be drawn; We will sit down at ease and sing the praise of West Rutland Marble Bawn
