OBITUARY

MR. PATRICK DWYER, CHARLESTON. Mr. Patrick Dwyer, an esteemed resident of Charleston, died rather suddenly at his residence, Charleston, on Friday, September 10. The deceased, who was a resident of Charleston for 48 years, was born at Douohill, County Tipperary, and is survived by a grown-up family of seven. He had been in failing health for a considerable time past. Mrs. Dwyer predeceased her husband by five months. The late Mr. Dwyer was of a kind and genial disposition, a devoted father, and a pious and fervent Catholic. Rev. Father Arkwright celebrated a Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of the deceased on the day of the funeral. In the course of his sermon Father Arkwright feelingly referred to the late Mr. Dwyer, who, he said, was a just man, and always attended well to his religious duties. The funeral took place on Sunday, September 12. It was very largely attended, nearly the whole of the Charleston community being px-esent, and also large numbers from Addison, Westport, and Cape Foulwind. Rev. Father Arkwright officiated at the graveside. The Dwyer family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in their sad bereavement. — R.I.P.
