         CONRAN - The sudden death of WILLIAM J. CONRAN
       has shocked and grieved a large circle of friends.
       MR. CONRAN was stricken Saturday, July 30th, at
       the Buffalo Gas Company plant, where he was employed
       as engineer. His daughter, MRS. FREDERICK JUENGERT,
       was notified by his fellow workers who had summoned
       a doctor, and barely had a priest, whom she had
       hurriedly reached at St. Anthony's rectory, admini-
       stered the last rites of the church, when he died.
       This special favor was doubtless the reward of 
       having spent an upright life. MR. CONRAN was highly
       respected by his employers and fellow workers of
       the gas company, while in private life he was a
       devoted husband and father. MR. CONRAN is survived
       by his wife and two daughters, SISTER MARY BERCHMANS
       of the Sisters of Mercy and MRS. FREDERICK JUENGERT.
       The solemn funeral mass was celebrated at St. Teresa's
       Church by Father Ryan, assisted by Father Fitzhenry
       and Father Hogan. Rev. A. Hartigan, D.D. Rev. William
       Tobin, Rev. F. O'Neil, Rev. Joseph McGuire and Rev.
       Hugh Wright were in the sanctuary. Father Hartigan
       and Father Wright conducted the services at the
       grave. The friends who carried the casket were James
       Murphy, Bernard McQuaide, Stephen Griffin, Jacob Eno,
       Charles Bray and Charles Manning. Burial was at Pine
       Hill, and among the large number of sympathizers 
       who accompanied the dead to its last resting place
       were a group of Sisters of Mercy and the following
       from Auburn, N.Y.; Mrs. O'Brien, Mr. Dillion, William
       Collins, Miss C. Collins, Mrs. T. Poole, Miss C.
       O'Brien, Miss A. Courney. MR. CONRAN was born at
       Scipio, N.Y., 54 years ago and had lived in Buffalo
       the last 18 years. May the soul of this good husband,
       father and citizen enjoy happy and eternal rest.
