OBITUARY

Thomas Walsh, aged 36, died of lung fever at 6 A.M., March 9th, 1865, at his 
residence in Dubuque. Mr. Walsh was a residence of Dubuque for the last five 
years during which time he has been mainly engaged in the produce business, 
his last business connection being with James Rowan, under the firm name of 
Rowan and Walsh. He was confined to his room only since Monday last, his 
friends not yet having missed him from his customary round-but a severe cold 
taken a month ago terminated in a burning fever and suddenly all that was 
immortal had fled. He was a native of Limerick, Ireland, coming to this 
country nearly sixteen years ago.  President of the St. Vincent De Paul 
Society,  he was a straight forward and honorable business man, kind and 
courteous all his relations; a good friend and the enemy of none. His loss is 
deeply deplored and keenly felt. He leaves a family of a wife and four 
children, besides numerous relations in St. Louis where he resided ten years. 
His brother, the Rev. W. Walsh, Pastor of St. Bridget’s Church of that city, 
has been telegraphed to and is expected to be present at the funeral. Mr. 
Walsh was a practical and consistent member of the Catholic Church and 
received from his pastor during his last moments its rites and sacraments. So 
sudden and unexpected an event has cast a gloom over that portion of the 
community by which he was well known. His father, three brothers and two 
sisters are living in Ireland. For ten years he was a resident of St. Louis, 
where the family has relatives liiving. His loss to the St. Vincent De Paul 
Society, will be irreparable.
