Why was this young man held in such great
esteem? Obituary for Edward Joseph O'Brien
(1886 -1910) Oh, death, with your icy hand
and fatal grasp, Your unflinching summons has
come at last; You have bade him follow by your
stern command, To far brighter realms in that
heavenly land.
At Topsail on Thursday, 19 inst. all that was mortal of Edward Joseph O'Brien
was conveyed to the R.C. churchyard for interment. His funeral was largely
attended by mourners of every denomination, t o show their love and respect
for the youthful miner who received his death summons while working in the
submarine mines on bell Island. At 2:30 the S.S. Euphrates arrived with
Manager McLean, and al l the foremen of the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal
Co. to take a last farewell of one who through his kind and generous ways,
had won the esteem of his fellow workmen and forced an entrance to the
roughe st ear. While working in the mines he contracted a heavy cold which
developed into pneumonia. He was attended by Dr's. Carnochan, Chaplin
and Chisholm, who did all available for him, but despite the ir utmost skill he
passed peacefully away on Tuesday, 17th inst. in the prime of life at the age
of twenty four. RIP
Thou son of faith, your form is chilled, Your gentle heart-beat forever
stilled; How soon to fill a silent grave, A prayer from the faithful is all I crave.
