He had been
of the Protestant faith and converted to the Catholic faith after reading a few
books from a friend. He married Lady Blackall (date of marriage and birthdate
is unknown to me) (also of the Protestant faith who was from a wealthy, noble
family who was a relative of Crooker Barrington - Lord Chief of Justice of Ireland). She sadly passed away

had suffered from liver complaint for some years, indeed, to such an extent
that nine years ago he was forced to retire from the business in which he had
been active for so many years. Several weeks ago the physicians abandoned hope
of saving his life, and his last days were devoted to pious preparation for
death. His death bed was an edifying one, and he died surrounded by the
members of his family. The funeral took place on Friday at 10 o'clock at St. Patrick's church, Adams and Desplaines streets. the services were simple, in
accordance with his wishes. High Mass was said by Dr. Butler assisted by Dr.

last days were devoted to preparing for the sad end that was sure to come.

breathed his last shortly after 7 o'clock last
