Maloney ate supper with his parents and other members of the family at the family residence, 4221 South Derbigny street Monday night, he was apparently a well man, although he had been ill for several days prior to that time, having contracted a severe cold several weeks ago. He was apparently in good spirits and more jovial than usual, joking freely with members of the family. About 6 hours later he was a corpse. The exact cause of his death has not been determined by his relatives. Maloney, who was only 23 years old, was one of the city’s well known young railway men. His friends declare he gave promise of a bright future. Up till the time of the strike he was employed as a clerk on the Illinois Central railroad. A short time ago he went to work for the New Orleans and Northeastern railroad here, but soon contracted a severe cold which caused him to quit work in order to recuperate. He apparently grew better until Monday night, when the immediate members of his family thought. He had practically recovered. He died on a few minutes after the midnight hour. Young Maloney leaves, besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank R. Maloney, two sisters, Mrs. Johana Phillips and Miss Anna Maloney, and three brothers, James, John and Julius Maloney. All of them are residents of New Orleans. He was a member of the Loyal Order of Moose, the Woodmen of the World and the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks. Funeral takes place at the residence at 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. source: Times-Picayune (New Orleans, LA) Wednesday, February 28, 1912, page 6 DIES SUDDENLY. Frank Maloney, Ambitious Youth, Seemingly in Robust Health. Succumbs to Midnight Stroke, as He Was About to Study for Higher Place. “I feel like working real hard tonight,” said Frank M. Maloney, aged 23 years, 4421 South Derbigny Street, to his mother yesterday morning about 12:30 o’clock, as he went upstairs to his room to study a lesson course in the International Correspondence School. Twenty minutes later he was dead. Doctors say acute indigestion and lung congestion caused the young man’s death. Maloney possessed an exceptionally strong physique and his sudden demise is a puzzle to medical circles of the city. A few minutes after the young man had entered his room his parents were alarmed by his cries of agony. They rushed upstairs and found him suffering intensely. They gave him every assistance possible and summoned a physician immediately, but death came before the doctor arrived. Aside from a slight cold the young man was in perfect health. He had eaten a hearty supper and was in high spirits over his success in his work with the correspondence school in which he was studying railway engineering. His parting words to his parents before he went upstairs to his room were: “Well, I guess I’ll vote to-morrow, I know I can pick the winning candidates.” Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Maloney are prostrated with grief as a result of the shock. The deceased at the time of his death was in the employ of the Northeastern Railroad. Up to six months ago, he was employed in the capacity of yardmaster’s clerk on the Illinois Central Railroad at Hammond. He had been with the road since he was 13 years of age and relinquished this position only when the strike was declared by the employes [sic] of the road. He was born in this city and received his early education in the public schools. Ambitious at all times, he was regarded by his many friends and by officials of the railroad who knew of his splendid ability as one of the rising young men in the service. Had he lived he would undoubtedly have been promoted to some important position in time. During the ten years he worked for the Illinois Central he held the unique record of not having lost a single working day in all that time. The young man was a member of Palmetto No. 2, Woodmen of the World, the Loyal Order of Moose and the Railroad Clerks, Local No. 54. He was an active worker in all these fraternal organizations. The fact that he was mowed down, as it were, when he was just on the threshold of a long and happy career has caused regret among the membership of these orders, who regarded him as one of their strongest members. Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Maloney, the deceased is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Henry Phillips, of Boonevlle Ark., and Miss Alma Maloney, of 4421 South Derbigny, and by three brothers, James, John and Julian Maloney, all of this city. John Maloney is employed as chief rate clerk of the Frisco Railroad. The funeral will be held at 3 o’clock this afternoon at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Father Kavanaugh conducting the services. source: Times-Picayune (New Orleans, LA) Wednesday, February 28, 1912, page 8 MALONEY – On Tuesday, Feb. 27, 1912, at 12:30 o’clock a.m., FRANK M.
