Funeral of Mrs. Stephen Atkinson
The funeral of Mrs. Stephen Atkinson took place this morning at nine o'clock at High Mass at St. Patrick's church, Fort Howard, Rev. Fr. Larmer, pastor of the church officiating. The pastor preached a sermon from the text "Blessed are the dead", dwelling largely upon the eloquent sermon that the dead always preach, more than words can express, and in life of the departed the marked lesson it taught was the worth and beauty of the Catholic religion in the home, and of it preservation there. The pastor also spoke of the remarkable fact, that he so rarely met with, that this mother, ripe in years, had laid down her life leaving a husband and nine children, who have reached mature years and this being the first time that death had invaded the family. He dwelt upon the worth of the deceased and of her devotion to her church, having always been faithful in her discharge of its dutied, and recei=ving at the close of her life its last rites.
The funeral was very largely attended by friends here and this vicinity. The internment was at the Fort Howard cemetery and the pall-bearers were: C. McGinnis, Jas. Flatley, A. Lucas, Wm. Primm, Wm. Moran, and P. Shaughnessy.
