Kane (PA) Weekly Blade, January 19, 1882
Death of a Former Resident.

From Grand Rapids (Mich.) correspondence of the "Western Home Journal", 
published at Detroit, we learn of the death of John Galvin, formerly of this 
place, which occurred at Cheboygan, Mich., on Christmas day. The remains were 
taken to Grand Rapids for burial. The correspondent says:

“On Tuesday evening last the mortal remains of Mr. John Galvin, who died on 
Christmas day in Cheboygan, arrived here via the G. R. & I. railroad, and were 
taken to the residence of Capt. John M'Donough, on Fitzhugh street, where 
throngs of Mr. Galvin’s former friends and acquaintances paid their last sad 
respects to his memory. His funeral was held on Wednesday, from St. Andrew’s 
church. Solemn mass of requiem was celebrated, Rev. J. C. Pulcher, of St. James’ 
church, celebrant; Rev. Frank Van Antwerp, of Hastings, deacon; Rev. P. J. 
M'Manus, sub-deacon; Rev. T. D. Flannery, of Grattan, performing the burial 
services over the remains in the church. Fr. Pulcher accompanied the remains to 
the cemetery, where he read the burial service, assisted by Frs. Van Antwerp and 
Flannery. The pall-bearers, appointed by Mr. Galvin before his death from among 
his oldest and best friends of former happy days in Grand Rapids, were C. G. 
Pulcher, Frank P. M’Graw, C. Grady, L. J. Quinn, Henry P. Grady and Thos. H. 
Hart. A very large concourse of carriages followed his remains to their last 
resting place, upwards of 60 conveyances being in the sorrowful procession.”

Deceased had many friends and relatives in this section, among whom is a sister, 
Mrs. J. D. Brooder, who resides at East Kane.
