    • LIFE OF SERVICE ENDED BY DEATH

      Mrs. Frank O' Reilly Passes Away in Her Eighty- fourth Year

      WELL KNOWN IN TORONTO

      A life of unstinted service to humanity ended yesterday morning, when. Agnes Mulholland, wife of Frank O'Reilly, passed away at the home of her daughter, Miss Lotta Babcock, 44. Albany Avenue, after an illness of five. weeks. Though in her elghty-fourth year, the late Mrs. O'Reilly was active. and intensely interested in the affairs of the Province in which she had resided during her entire lifetime. Her parents were among the first settlers in Beverley Township, and she was born near Sheffield, where she will be laid to rest tomorrow.

      At the age of 20 she married Robert Babcock of Galt, who died some years later. Of this marriage there were six children, five of whom survive. Some years after she married James Ellis, also of Galt. After the death of Mr. Ellls, the deceased moved to Brantford, where she resided for some years, later coming to Toronto, where she married. Frank O'Reilly of Niagara Falls, who survives her.

      Great Lover of Horses.

      A quarter of a century ago, Mrs. O'Reilly was a well-known and picturesque figure in the northwest section of the city, where she was to be seen almost daily driving in a low, fawn colored phaeton, with a spirited pair of ponies. She was a great lover of horses, and was loath to exchange them for the motor. During her residence in Galt she was a member of the Free Methodist Church.

      Mrs. O'Reilly leaves her husband and five children: W. F. Babcock, De Wardo Babcock, Mrs. W. J. Westwood of St. Catharines, Mrs. J. C. Weir and Miss Lotta Babcock.

      Funeral Service Tomorrow.

      Funeral services will be held at 44 Albany Avenue tomorrow at 12.30 noon, and at Sheffield, where she will be laid to rest. The service in Toronto will be conducted by Rev. J. N. Miller, pastor of West Toronto Independent Baptist Church, and in Sheffield by Rev. Stacey Cassmore, a nephew of the deceased.
