Nashua Telegraph Jun 16, 1930 front page and page 2
Impressive and solemn services with full military rites accorded an officer who died in the service of his country were given the remains of Lieutenant Augustus Shea Mulvanity, United States Navy, and 20 month old daughter Eileen, who with Mrs. Mulvanity were among the victims of the Fairfax disaster off Scituate, Tuesday night, yesterday afternoon. The body of the wife, Mrs. Lucille Buckley Mulvanity had not been recovered as yet from the sea at the scene of the disaster. Rev. Matthew Creamer, permanent rector of the church gave a short eulogy in which he praised the bravery of Lieutenant Mulvanity in his brave effort to save his wife and child and asked the congregation to rise and say three "Our Fathers" for the recovery of the body of Mrs. Mulvanity, to offer some little consolation to the grief stricken parents of the girl.
