"PROMISING CAREER ENDS IN DEATH
BRIGHT YOUNG MAN A VICTIM
OF DISEASE
Though Blind, Through Ardent Application to Study, He Made a Name for Himself as a Writer
The death of Eugene P. Conway, son of Mrs. Mary R. Conway of this city, which occurred about 1 o'clock at the family residence, 1422 South Main street, yesterday morning, occasioned unalloyed grief among numerous friends of a young man who had given every evidence of a brilliant career.
Mr. Conway's death came after several years of suffering from acute kidney trouble, though at times he was able to follow along lines which had been mapped out during his college days at St. Vincents, of which institution he was a graduate. Final illness began Tuesday night when the young man wan forced into a desperate struggle for life.
Aa a student at St. Vincent's college Mr. Conway distinguished himself by a literary genius which shone throughout his years of scholastic life. Unable to participate in field sports young Conway entered upon their promotion with a zeal which had much to do with St. Vincent's position in the athletic world. As manager of the first baseball team which brought intercollegiate championship honors to St. Vincent's, Mr. Conway endeared himself to his fellows by reason of the kindly energy which marked his zeal on the campus as well as in the class room.
Was a Brilliant Writer
Gifted mentally to an unusual degree, the young man shortly before his graduation won the Father Meyer gold medal in the Christian Doctrine contest and immediately after receiving his diploma decided to enter the Catholic priesthood. As an ardent student at St. Patrick's seminary, Menlo Park, Mr. Conway paid the penalty of his zeal by the loss of his eyesight.
Nothing daunted he returned home with a cheerfulness that caused pity to merge into keener admiration. Unable to endure idleness, his active brain turned to the pen, and securing special assignments upon a local newspaper, he developed talents which boded brilliant things to come.
Sorrowing with the mother are two sisters, Mary V. and Margaret K. Conway, and a brother, Thomas F. Conway.
The deceased was 24 years old.
Funeral services will be held from the cathedral with requiem mass at 10 o'clock, Monday, interment taking place at New Calvary cemetery."
