FUNERAL OF MRS. CRONAN.
The funeral services of Mrs. Ellen T., wife of P. J. Cronan, took place Saturday morning at her late residence, 455 Orange street, and later at St. Mary's church, where a solemn mass of requiem was celebrated by the Rev. Father Lilly. The attendance was very large, including many prominent people. Mrs. Cronan was a lifelong resident of New Haven and had the respect and regard of all who ever met her. She was a devoted member of St. Mary's church, most generous to all charities, yet unostentatious, and her beneficiaries were many. Among the many at the funeral was a large delegation of Hopkins school boys, classmates of the two youngest sons of the deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Cronan's eldest son, Ensign William Pigott Cronan of the cruiser Brooklyn, was present at the services, having reached home on a special leave of absence.
The music was Schmidt's mass, and in it William Grabb sang the offertory, "Redemptor Mundi Deus," by Mozart, very effectively. At its conclusion "Jesu Dei Vivi" was sung with much feeling by Miss Sullivan, Madame Oertel, Mr. Sheehan and Mr. Grabb. Professor Joseph D. Rice presided at the organ.
The remains were in a handsome oak casket with silver handles, and upon it were several appropriate floral offerings furnished by members of the family. There was a handsome wreath of roses and one of ferns tied with broad purple ribbons. At the request of the family no floral tokens were sent in by the friends of the deceased.
The pallbearers were Andrew Clerkin, David F. Sheehan, John Cronan, William Hyland, George Horton and Police Captain William O'Keefe. There were no flower bearers. The remains were interred in St. Lawrence cemetery.
