John J. Deery “John J. Deery, one of the most widely known stone and marble dealers of the country, died at his home in Easthampton, L. I., the past month, at the age of 57 years. Mr. Deery had been ill for several months and the end was not unexpected. Mr. Deery was for many years connected with the firm of G. P. Sherwood & Co., one of the most prominent of the stone firms a generation ago. Later he engaged in business for himself and established connections in Europe and Canada. Mr. Deery was a man of large means and was prominent in financial, fraternal and Catholic circles. He is survived by a wife and daughter.” (Please note that I am not related to this gentleman, and I do not have any further information on him or his family.) Peggy B.
