William Ahearn, son of the late James Ahearn, died on Sunday morning last after a lingering illness of asthma and consumption, deeply mourned by his widowed mother and brothers and sisters. The remains were interred at the R.C. cemetery on Wednesday morning at 9.30, Rev. Father Trayling conducting the service, and the following –named acting as pallbearers: John Shickluna, Harry Dunlap, John White, H. Woods, Thos. Hayden and Ed Bradley. Deceased had always been in delicate health, and for the last year had been confined to the house, death coming shortly after the midnight hour on Saturday. Every care and great sympathy have been extended to the suffering young man and family, and the expenses of the funeral will be defrayed by the fund raised at the late benefit entertainment, so kindly instituted and successfully carried out by the young men’s social club.
