BRUNSWICK TELEGRAPH – May 18, 1893 OBITUARY BRIDGET McMAHON Died. In this town, May 11th, Miss Bridget McMAHON, aged 31 years. “Faithful unto Death” A quiet, patient spirit uttering no word of complaint in hours of suffering has passed into the unseen world. She was for more than fifteen years a beloved inmate of the family of the late Mrs. John McKeen, doing all she could to give aid and comfort in hours of sickness and health, and she is sincerely mourned by all who knew her. Her cheerful and unwearied care of the aged mother in that home is gratefully remembered by many friends, and when she herself was called to suffer for years from lingering disease, her pathway to the last was smoothed by the tender care of the daughter, the only surviving member of the family. For a time she was employed in the office of the Telegraph, but ill-health compelled her to resign very soon, leaving pleasant recollections behind her. She was a pupil for some time of our High School and a person of marked intelligence, familiar with the best authors in prose and verse. Her tastes were refined and beneath a quiet exterior lay much power of thought. She met death calmly, resigning herself with Christian hope to the Divine will. Her funeral took place from the Catholic church on Saturday morning. She leaves three brothers and two sisters. |

BRUNSWICK TELEGRAPH – May 4, 1893 OBITUARY GEORGE M. WILLIAMS There was deep felt sorrow in many circles Wednesday night when the death of Mr. George M. WILLIAMS was made known. As announced last week, his foot was amputated in hopes to relieve him from lock jaw, but he did not rally from the operation. Mr. Williams had a host of friends, won by his genial unostentatious manner and his death seemed to them a personal bereavement. He was a man of most versatile gifts, being able to turn his hand to anything, and do it in a most credible manner. He was an artist of no mean ability and an excellent musician. His house on Cleaveland street was planned and built largely by himself. Following his trade of painter, he had done frescoing in town which would have reflected credit on anyone. He was an active member of the Grand Army and Odd Fellows, both of which organizations were represented at his funeral. He leaves a widow, who has the heartfelt sympathy of all in her severe affliction. |
