OBITUARY

MR. JEREMIAH BARRY, OAMARU. -" Another old identity of this district, in the person of Mr. Jeremiah Barry, passed away on Monday, September 8. Mr. Barry was born in County Cork, and at the time of his death was 72 years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Barry had been residents here for 33 years, and were respected by all who came in contact with them. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Barry and family (four sons and two daughters) and his sister (Mrs. Fitzgerald, of Dunback), and the esteem in which they are held was well shown by the large number who attended the funeral. As the remains were being carried out of the Basilica, the ' Dead March ' was played, and the bell tolled.. During his illness, which was of short duration, Mr. Barry was regularly attended by the Rev. Father Lynch, and the Rev. Father Farthing officiated at the graveside. —R.l.P. ; r - j
