DEATHS…
HARTNEY
MR. PATRICK HARTNEY - A life-long resident of
Perth
and a well-known and highly respected nonagenarian passed away on Sunday last in
the person of Mr. Patrick Hartney. Ninety-one
years ago the late Mr. Hartney was born in Limerick County, Ireland, and when a
young man of twenty he left the Emerald Isle and crossed the seas to make his
home in the new land. Coming almost
directly to
Perth
,
Mr. Hartney has lived through the development of this town from a comparatively
small village to a thriving and industrious town.
In this development Mr. Hartney had his share, and it is with sincere
regret that the Expositor is now called upon to chronicle the death of another
of this country's rugged pioneers to whom the present generation owes so much.
The late Mr. Hartney was a quiet man but was a gentleman in every sense
of the word. Mrs. Hartney, whose
maiden name was Margaret Hogan, predeceased her husband twelve years ago.
There are surviving one daughter, Miss Anne Hartney of town, an only son,
James, having died some four years ago. The
funeral took place on Tuesday morning from the family home on
Grant Street
to
St.
John's
Church
and Cemetery, Rev. Dean Hogan singing
Requiem
Mass.
The pall-bearers were Messrs. John Russell, M. McCarthy, M. McGlade, John
Hartney, Jas. Publow and James Kane. Among
those attending the funeral were Mr. Lloyd Hartney, of
Toronto
,
grandson of deceased, and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hogan of
