  • Notes 
    • The Late James Monaghan - The death took place at his home near New Hamburg last Thursday, October 27th, of Mr. James Monaghan, at the age of 70 years. He had been failing in health for about a year, but was confined to bed for only a few days. His death therefore was a shock to his many friends. The passing of Mr. Monaghan removes another member of the pioneer stock of this community. His grandfather, Patrick Monaghan, and his father, John Monaghan, came from the County of Armagh, Ireland, in the pioneering days of this district and hewed out a domicile in the primeval forest, where three generations have since made their home. In both religious and civic affairs the late Mr. Monaghan took an active part. A Roman Catholic in faith, he was instrumental in erecting the present edifice of his church in New Hamburg and served as a church trustee for many years. He likewise labored for forty years for the benefit of held on Monday forenoon from his which he took great interest. He was a director of the Wilmot Agricultural Society for the past ten years and in politics a staunch Liberal. Always a kindly disposed friend and neighbor, his memory is revered by all who knew him. He leaves his sorrowing widow, four sons and three daughters to mourn his demise. The children are Dr. Hugh Monaghan, surgeon in Lady-at-Victory Hospital, Lackawanna, N.Y., Joseph and James, of Kitchener, William, at home, Mary of St. Joseph's Hospital, Guelph, Laura, teacher at Petersburg, A. Marie, teacher at Parkhill. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. (? words missing) the orphanage at St. Agatha, in grandchildren. The funeral was Philip Sehl of Waterloo, and three late home to Holy Family Church and the RC Cemetery and was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and neighbors. Requiem mass was held by the Parish priest, Rev. Father Arnold, and Rev. Father J. Dantzer of St. Columbian.
