The Jefferson Democrat March 17, 1892 Part 1 Volunteer Transcription ~Obituary~ Mr. Patrick CRADICK, a well-respected citizen of St. Louis, died at his residence on La Salle Street, on Sunday evening, February 28th, after a lingering illness super induced by an attack of la grippe. Deceased was a native of Ireland and the son of Thomas CRADICK, and old and highly respected citizen of Jefferson County, whose sad death, caused by being ran over at Ewing Avenue crossing, St. Louis, by an express train, occurred only four years ago and is still fresh in the memory of many of the readers of this paper. Patrick immigrated to this country about twenty five years ago. Being then about nineteen years of age, he worked on his father's farm in this county for about two years. He then went to Springfield, MO and entered the employment of the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad company. For a number of years he worked as [tinner?] in the shop and then as fireman on a locomotive. His steady habits and strict attention to duty gained for him the confidence of his employers and in 1873(?) he was given charge of an engine, running on the division between Pacific and Dixon. He labored faithfully in the capacity of an engineer from that time up until about six months ago when his ill health obliged him to quit work. He had the best medical attention (paper creased…)…but all effort to restore his health were unavailing. Twenty years of the hardships and worry of railroad life left him a complete physical wreck and an easy prey to the grim destroyer. He was a man who was ever ready to assist the poor and those in distress. His charity knew no bounds and he regarded the suffering of others with the tenderness of a child. His life was made up of a succession of charitable deeds. Kind, affectionate, generous and sympathetic, he was idolized by his friends and won the respect of all who knew him. His sufferings were extreme, but having to the divine decree that all must die; he bore them with Christian fortitude and patient resignation. Although lingering before the threshold of eternity for seven long weeks, he retained his consciousness to the last and only a few hours before the final summons came, he called all the members of his family to the bedside, and bade them a last good-bye. He was a member of the Catholic Church and received the last sacraments before death. Having lived a truly Christian life, his death was no less edifying. He was a member of the railway lodge of the A.O.U.W. and his brother members assisted him and his family in every possible way they could during the long period of his illness. His remains were sent to Catwissa and from thence taken to S. Patrick's church, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, and after the last sad rites of the church were performed they were laid to their final resting place in the adjoining cemetery, there to sleep till the last trumpet's dreadful din shall wake them to resurrection. Rev. E. BERRY preached the funeral sermon, in which he paid a very eloquent tribute to the memory of Mr. CRADICK. Deceased leaves a wife and six small children, the eldest of which is twelve years, to mourn his loss. They have the sympathy of the entire community in this their sad bereavement.
