Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, July 22, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 29 DEATHS John A. O’Connor’s Funeral Father Philip Bohan, pastor of the Moxham Catholic parish, Johnstown, unassisted at 10 o’clock Thursday morning, celebrated a high mass of requiem over the remains of the late John A. O’Connor, at Conner, Somerset County. A part of the choir of St. John Gaulbert’s church sang. The four brothers of the deceased, Attorney James B. O’Connor, Judge F. J. O’Connor, Don O’Connor and Prof. P. J. O’Connor were the pallbearers and interment which was private was made in the old family graveyard on the O’Connor farm, beside the remains of the deceased’s father. Mrs. P. J. O’Connor and her two children arrived in Johnstown from Ebensburg to attend the funeral and were driven out to Forwardstown. It is related that shortly before his death, John A. O’Connor summoned to his bedside his children and made them each one promise to lead lives reflecting honor on themselves, their relatives and their communities. The five boys were especially abjured to desist from profanity, untruthfulness and the use of liquor. Mr. O’Connor was conscious almost to the end. _________________________________________________________________ When your life is on the go—take your life with you. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/115298558/direct/01/
