Excerpt from Memorials, Messages of Condolence and Press Notices The subject of this memorial, born in Armagh, Ireland, March fourth, eighteen hundred thirty-six, passed from earth on the seventh of May, nineteen hundred four, at Altadena, California. Funeral services were held at the family residence in Chicago at ten o'clock on the fourteenth of May. Friends and admirers from every walk in life thronged the rooms to pay their last respects to the kindly, genial, unaffected man who was one of the city's most honored pioneers. Sturdy, stalwart, and self-reliant in character, he was likewise humane and generous, and throughout a long life of almost unexampled activity was a helper of all good causes in the city of his adoption where he will ever be held in grateful remembrance. Flowers of rare loveliness were seen everywhere in the greatest profusion. The casket was buried beneath a wealth of fragrant roses and lilies, and innumerable superb floral offerings, beautiful and appropriate in design, bore mute yet eloquent testimony of the love and esteem inspired by an unblemished private life, and by a long and honorable public career marked by unswerving integrity of purpose. The services, characterized by extreme simplicity, were a beautiful and dignified tribute to the departed. The Rev. Frank du Moulin of St. Peter's read the simple yet solemn and impressive ritual of the Episcopal Church, following with a number of passages from the Bible.
