Evening Times, Cumberland, Maryland, 5 Dec 1905: 
“Charles Cashel Connolly Dead. Mr. Charles Cashel Connolly, one of the 
older residents of Piedmont, and well known beyond its confines, died 
Sunday evening, after a short illness, at the home of Mrs.H. McDermott, 
on Ashfleld street, at which place he had made his home for years. Mr. 
Connolly was a tailor by trade, and had been in business in Piedmont in 
that line for many years.  He was also a writer of great ability and 
his many poems, besides being published by papers and magazines, were 
embodied in book form and issued about ten years ago. He was of a 
retiring disposition, and seldom mingled with the outside world, but 
withal was a good citizen, charitable and generous to a fault. He was 
never married. His funeral took place from St. Peter's Catholic Church 
this morning requiem high mass being celebrated by the pastor, Rev. 
Father Gallagher, assisted by Rev.  Father Heath. Interment was in the 
Catholic cemetery. A very large concourse of people at the obsequies 
attested the esteem in which he was held. Mr. Connolly will be missed 
in our neighborhood, and of him it can truthfully be said: “His life 
was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him 'that Nature might stand 
up and say to all the world, “This was a man!”
