FUNERAL OF PATRICK O'HEARN

The Loved City Assessor is Laid at Rest

One of the largest attended and most impressive funerals was held this morning in St. Thomas chapel, where the last sad respects were paid to Assessor Patrick O'Hearn. The respect in which he was held by every one irrespective of creed or politics was distinctly shown by the earnest sea of sympathetic faces that listened to Rev. J. D. Kelly 's earnest sermon on the text Ego Sum Ressurrectio et Vita. The floral tributes of palm leaves, roses, carnations, cala lillies, lillies of the valley and other flowers completely covered the casket. Rev. Fr. O'Rourke, of Monroe, acted as celebrant, Rv. Fr. Kolly, deacon and Rev. Fr. Kennedy, of Ypsilanti, sub-deacon. The remains were placed in the vault at St. Thomas' cemetery. The funeral cortege consisted not only of the family relatives and friends but also of the members of the city government and board of supervisors in carriages. The pall bearers were: Paris Banfield, William H. Mclntyre, John R. Miner, John Srnith, George Hangsterfer and Thomas J. Keech. The deceased will long be remembered and his kindly face missed in this community.
