The Late P. O’Brien
Patrick O’Brien was suddenly taken ill, suffering from pneumonia
and internal complications, and was removed from his home to the Hazelton
Hospital, where he expired on Sunday.
The remains were shipped to Usk and the funeral took place at
Kitsumkalum Cemetery on Monday. The Rev
T J Marsh, rural dean, officiating. A
number of the Terrace people accompanied the remains to the cemetery and a great
number of Usk and Pacific residents were present at the committal
ceremony. The numerous floral tributes
showing the esteem in which he was held.
The late Mr. O’Brien held the position of section foreman for many years
and was always at the forefront as a member of the community, being a school
trustee and taking great interest in all matters in which the welfare of the
children was concerned. He leaves to
mourn his loss a widow and three children, to whom the sympathy of the entire
community of Usk has gone out.
So, Grandma must have been pregnant with Pat when he died as it says she is left with 3 children - that would be Uncle Bill, Father, and Bessie. He died August 19, 1923...........now to find Uncle Pat's birth date.
