Called to His Reward.

  Yesterday morning at 10.45 o'clock James McKerihan departed this 
life, after an illness of twelve weeks, death resulting from general 
debility.  Deceased was born in Tyrone county, Ireland, on May 6, 1819, 
and was therefore in the 72d year of his age.  In early life he became 
a member of the Primitive Wesleyan Methodist society, in which society 
he was a member for nearly forty years.  Coming to this country in 
1880, he united with the Simpson Methodist Episcopal church of this 
city, of which he was an honored member at the time of his death.
  He leaves to mourn their loss a wife and ten children - four sons and 
six daughters - all of whom reside in this city.  The funeral will take 
place on Friday afternoon from his late residence, No. 1312 Third 
avenue.  Services will be conducted by the Rev. R. E. Wilson and will 
be held at the house, commencing at 2 o'clock.  Interment in Oak Ridge 
cemetery.
