McADAM, John J., Obituary

The funeral of John J. McAdam, a popular young man of the South End, took place last Wednesday morning from his late residence, 54 Resenselaer Street, thence to St. John's church, where a solemn requiem mass was chanted by the Rev. J. H. McAdam – a brother of the deceased. Rev. John T. Slattery delivered the eulogy. The remains were enclosed in a steel gray casket with silver trimmings. Deceased had been a faithful employee of the Albany Brewing co., for the past twenty years. Through respect for the deceased the company closed its doors to allow its employees to attend the funeral in a body. He was whole-souled and generous to a fault and will be greatly missed by his grief stricken family and a legion of friends. The floral tributes consisted of a broken column from the employees of the Albany Brewing Co., and a pillow with the work “Papa” from his sons and daughters. The bearers were Patrick Hughes, John Donnelly, John Fitzgerald, James Feeney, Michael Keane, Patrick Muruane, James Welch and Patrick Mulhern. – Albany Press and Knickerbocker [Cameron County Press, (Emporium, Pa.), March 3, 1898]
