MR. PATRICK CYRIL KEALY.
The death occurred at his home, Valagnello,
Vacy, recently, of Patrick Cyril Kealy, at the
age of 71 years. Born at Summer Hill, he was
the son of the late Edward and Ann Kealy, of
Summer Hill, Vacy, a highly-respected family
and early pioneers of the Paterson River. His
early life was spent at the building trade when
he spent some years in Maitland and Singleton.
In 1913 he married Miss Ada Boland, daughter
of the late Michael and Mary Boland, of The
Valley, Lamb's Creek, and settled on his pro
perty at Valagnello, which was part of the
Summer Hill Estate, and has been in the Kealy
family since 1824. At Valagnello he carried on
farming and grazing pursuits with much success.
Before his health failed he took a very active
part in all parochial affairs and in anything for
the advancement of the district. He was one of
the pioneer members of the H.A.C.B. Society,
Gresford, and was treasurer of that branch from
its inception until a few months before his
death. He was also a pioneer member of the
Archconfraternity of the Holy Family, St.
John's, West Maitland. During his illness he
was visited by Sister Mary Kiernnn, of Branx
ton, his niece; and by the late Fathers Michael
and Kiernan and later by Fathers Dwyer and
Quigley, who administered the Last Sacraments
when he passed peacefully away during the re
citation ot the Rosary which he loved so much,
surrounded by his wife and family and two bro
thers, Edward and John. The funeral left his
residence for the Sacred Heart Church, Summer
Hill, where Father Quigley celebrated Requiem
Mass, which was served by deceased's two sons,
Kevin and Cyril. The pall-bearers were J. and
V. Doran and J. Boland, brothers-in-law, and J.
Keogh, nephew. The Hibernians formed a guard
of honour at the church, and the interment
tfcok place in the family plot at Summer Hill
Cemetery, where Father Quigley read the prayers
and the Hibernians recited the Rosary. He
leaves a wife, two sons, Cyril and Kevin, and
one daughter, Aveen, all of Valagnello; also two
brothers, Edward and John, of Summer Hill, to
mourn their loss. Five sisters predeceased him,
two of them,- Mary and Ellen Keogh, only a few
weeks before his death. The other sisters were
Agnes (Mrs. Smith), Annie (Mrs. C. J. Ryan),
and Sister Stanislaus Kotska of the Little Com
pany of Mary, Lewisham. — R.I.P.
