>From The Concord [Massachusetts] Enterprise, 12 February 1913 UNABLE TO RALLY ------ Death of Mrs. Bridget O'Brien Follows Operation at Deaconess Hospital Mrs. Bridget O'Brien died at the Deaconess hospital Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, following an operation for appendicitis. She was taken suddenly ill Friday morning and was removed to the hospital, where she was operated upon Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. She rested comfortably Saturday night and according to a telephone inquiry Sunday morning she was still comfortable, but about noon she took a sudden turn for the worse and never rallied. Her son, William O'Brien, left on the 1.30 electric car Sunday for the purpose of making a visit and reached the hospital about three minutes before her death, but was unable to see his mother. Mrs. O'Brien was born in Ireland and when but a child moved to St. John, N. B., with her parents. She came to this town in the year of 1870, where she has since resided. She was married 27 years ago last June to John O'Brien, who died just one year and five months ago. She is survived by one son, William, one sister, Mrs. Mary Kelley, and three brothers, Patrick, Michael and James Mullin. She was a most devout Catholic and was a daily attendant at mass. She was possessed of a sunny disposition and a faculty of making and retaining friends, so that her sudden death has cast a gloom on all who knew her and who recognized he many excellent traits of character. The funeral took place from her home on Pine st., Tuesday morning. A requiem mass was celebrated in St. Bridget's church at 9 o'clock, which was largely attended be relatives and friends, after which burial was in St. Bridget's cemetery. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Middlesex County Massachusetts Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/MA/Middlesex/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

DEATH OF MR. THOMAS GORDON March 5, 1897 The fear we expressed last week, regarding the recovery of Mr. Gordon, proved only too prophetic, for on Friday afternoon, surrounded by his sorrowing family, he passed away to is eternal rest. It is given to few men to gain for themselves such widespread and sincere respect as Mr. Gordon commanded throughout his business career. In gentleness and manner and kindliness of disposition he could not have been excelled, his personal character being altogether admirable. He was essentially a man who made for himself troops of friends and never an enemy. His perfect frankness was a charming feature, and in all the relations of life, social and business, his candour and openness of mind enlisted confidence and begot regard and esteem. As a merchant he was probity itself. During a long life he was diligent in business and highly honourable in all his transactions. A consistent member of the Methodist Church, he was above all things else a Christian gentleman. He made no obtrusive profession of his faith; but for practical piety and true worth Mr. Thomas Gordon was an exemplar whom all might well imitate, as all could sincerely appreciate. If we mistake not, Mr. Gordon was the oldest member of the Board of Town Commissioners. At the Board he never permitted personal feelings or sympathies to prevail when the interests of the ratepayers were clearly defined in another direction. While never aggressive, he knew how to be firm and resolute, but his determination was always associated with courtesy. For some three years he was in rather declining health, but it was within the past few months only that his friends really marked the gravity of the ailment to which he was a victim. During his final illness he was tended and nursed with the most sedulous and affectionate care. He was perfectly prepared for death, looking forward to it with the calmness and serenity of one who hailed a pure and blameless life, full of faith and hope. As might naturally be expected, the deepest sympathy is felt with his widow and family to whom Mr. Gordon spoke a dying charge to each, which have no doubt, will be remembered and observed. He will be sadly missed from that happy family circle, but the larger home circle above, of which Christ is the central attraction, has already welcomed his liberated spirit. His absence from the congregation will be greatly felt - for he was never absent when health permitted him to be present; but the general assembly and church of the first born above, will be enlarged by his presence there. The loss of his experience, wisdom and moderation in the council chamber and board room will be regretted, but he has commenced that day and night service in the Temple above. The loss is ours, the gain is his. To die is gain indeed in such a case as his. Our sorrow is selfish. We mourn not for him, but for ourselves. His joy is unmixed with grief. Let us, my brethren, the followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. The foundation of our departed friend's happiness in life, triumph in death and has now begun eternal bliss, was Jesus and him crucified for me. In early life he discovered Christ, not only as a Saviour, but as a guide, and a helper in life's rough pathway. He has gone from us to be remembered, as he was respected by a large circle of acquaintances and friends. I have no doubt that all here desire for the sorrowing widow and now fatherless children the choicest blessings of the God of all consolation. ********************************************** On Sunday last, in Benmore Church, at morning service, Rev. Canon Tottenham, in his sermon, alluding to the death of our fellow townman, said-He will be sadly missed by many. He was so well known by everyone, so kindly and obliging at all times, that he was deservedly a favourite with all who had any dealings with him, and was universally esteemed and respected. In thinking of him as I have known him for many years, the words of the Psalmist, in the 15th Psalm, rise up instinctively in my mind-"Lord who shall dwell in Thy Tabernacle, or who shall rest upon Thy Holy Hill? Even he that leadeth an uncorrupt life and that doeth the thing that is right and speaketh the truth from his heart". And one seems to feel that the character and conduct of our departed friend is there through the whole of it faithfully and truthfully described. He has left very many friends to regret him, and I do not believe that he could have had a single enemy. Let me ask for your sincere sympathy with his sorrowing bereaved family and your prayers that they may be comforted.

DEATH OF MRS. ELIZABETH (PARKE) GORDON OF CHURCH ST. ENNISKILLEN Saturday, August 12, 1916 At the venerable age of over eighty years, Mrs. Thomas Gordon, Church Street passed quietly and peacefully away on Saturday evening. For some months she had been in rather declining health, but had lately appeared to rally and in July went to Bundoran where the fresh sea air caused a rapid improvement that she was able to go about as well and as cheerily as ever, and to take walks of some considerable length each day. She was in fact looking so very well as to call forth congratulatory remarks from her hosts of friends. Three weeks ago, however, she was somewhat suddenly stricken down with heart failure and not having the resiliency or reserve of youth to combat it she gradually became weaker until the end came. A fine type of true Christian womanliness, a fond, prudent and tactful mother and a sincere friend her death causes a distinct gap in our midst. Resident in County Fermanagh all her life and in Enniskillen for the past sixty-one years the deceased lady was known to the great majority of people in this district and she was greatly esteemed and respected by all who had the privilege of her acquaintance. The references made to her life by the Rev. A. Harris, given below, will be cordially endorsed by all. Her husband, the late Mr. Thomas Gordon, predeceased her nineteen years ago. Very widespread and sincere sympathy is being extended to her family in their bereavement. THE FUNERAL The funeral took place on Tuesday to the family burying ground at Benmore and was very large and representative. The Chief mourners were:--Frederick, Harry, and Captain H.C. (Bertie) Gordon (sons); I. Parker (son-in-law); Cadet. R.G. Crawford, Donald Gordon, Dublin, Dudley and Ivor (Grandsons); Charles Gordon, Derry, James and Thos. Gordon, Churchill, Charles Parke (nephew); Thomas Corscadden, J.P., Holly Mount, Manorhamilton (Cousin). At the graveside the following clergymen officiated --- Rev. A. Harris, Rev. R.R. Sayers, Rev. F. Robinson and Rev. W.T. Dennison. (Taken from the Impartial Reporter)
