Some years ago he was struck by an automobile at Excelsior Springs, Mo., from which he never fully recovered. He is survived by his wife who was a Miss Feeney of that well known family of Bernard.

After the, requiem mass at the Cathedral in Dubuque, the remains were conveyed to Garry Owen where burial took place in St. Patrick's cemetery, Rev. Mulcahy officiating at the graveside.
