Crowley, a Dubuque County Boy Born and Bred John J. Crowley, the brakeman killed on the Illinois Central at Galena last Tuesday night was but 23 years of age and was a Dubuque county boy born and bred. He was the son of Joseph and Annie Elizabeth Crowley and was born at Bally Clough, Jan. 1, 1875. Early in his youth the family moved to Dubuque and here he grew to manhood. He entered the employ of the Illinois Central five years ago and worked for that company as a switchman and brakeman at Chicago, Waterloo, Freeport and Dubuque. He was educated in the Dubuque public and parochial schools and was one of the most popular and universally known young men in Dubuque. Of a sunny, genial disposition, he made friends wherever he went, and his open-hearted, unselfish nature maintained them. He was proficient in his calling and was ambitious to forge to the front. He was trusted and esteemed by his superiors for his exemplary habits and honesty, and was held in the highest regard by his fellow trainmen. His funeral was held Thursday morning from the residence, 187 Locust street, to the Cathedral, where mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Toomey who delivered a sermon over the remains, in which he pronounced a glowing eulogy to the many virtues of the deceased young man. The popularity in which he was held was evidenced by the large attendance at the obsequies and the numerous floral tributes. The interment was at Garryowen and the funeral cortege was over a mile in length. The pallbearers were Thos. Jess, John Glenn, Gean Lyons, Francis Duffy, Harry Clancy, Paul Pressly, Frank Treand and Harry Troy. The relatives left to mourn the departed son and brother are father and four brothers, Charles, Neil, Francis and Wilford, and two sisters, Misses Kate and Leona.
