Mrs. Martha Sheehan

The funeral of Mrs. Martha Sheehan, which was held at St. Thomas' church Friday morning was largely attended. The requiem high mass was celebrated by Rev. E. D. Kelly, after which an eloquent funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Frank Kennedy, of Ypsilanti, his text being "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." His benediction over her coffin was sweetly exemplified in her "God bless you," which were the last words she said to her children. Her casket was carried by six of her grandchildren--Robert and James Sheehan of Detroit, George Slater of Chicago, Lewis Sheehan, Thomas and Myron Slater of this city. The floral rememberances were many and beautiful, one particularly handsome one being a large wreath of autumn leaves and red roses, the gift of the employes of J. V. Sheehan's Detroit book store. A large number of the relatives attended the funeral.
