OBITUARY. The spirit of Mrs. Catharine, the beloved wife of Patrick Welch took its flight from earth Tuesday, January 10th, after a short
but painful illness of that which was mortal. The deceased lady was born in the city of Dublin, Ireland in the year of 1836, and moved with
her parents to New Brunswick, when but a child, where she lived until 1872, when she came to this city, which had since been her home.
On the 24th day of October 1873, she was united in marriage to Patrick Welch, and made him a devoted and affection wife whose absence will leave a void in his heart which will only be filled, when they are again united beyond "The smiling and the weeping."
Beside her sorrow stricken husband, she leaves three brothers and five sisters, James and John Archibald and Mrs. Ann Morrisey, Mrs. Eliza
Carlin and Mrs. Jane Welsh who reside in or near this city, and Michael and Bridget Archibald, and Mrs. Mary Darrell who live in New Brunswick. Mrs. Welch was a devoted and consistent Catholic, a kind and sympathetic neighbor and friend, and a devoted wife whose absence will be greatly missed and mourned in the social circle and the home now made desolate. And the husband while he sets in the shadow of a great grief, will have the sympathy of all, and all mourn with him the loss of a good and true woman.
DIED. CATHERINE, the beloved wife of Patrick Welch died Tuesday morning at her residence in this city. The deceased lady was a sister to James Archibald and had live here many years and was esteemed by all who enjoyed her acquaintance. She was a kind neighbor, affectionate mother and devoted wife, whose absence will long be felt and mourned for in the circles in which she moved. Her funeral services were held at St. Joseph Catholic church at which she was a regular communicant, Thursday, and her remains were followed to the "silent city," by a large number of her neighbors, friends and relatives. She was a good woman and her
deeds will live after her.
