They started on Wednesday but he took worse by the way and they stopped off at St Paul with his father’s sister, Mrs. Hanlon, where he died before reaching home. He was a bright cheery little lad and his death is a sad blow to his parents, two brothers and three sisters, who are left to mourn his death. It was also a sad home going for Mrs. Caniff, as this was the first visit to Steubenville since her marriage, eighteen years ago. The interment of her boy will take place in St. Paul. |
