                      M. T. FRIARY DIED FROM INJURIES

       Prominent Business Man Run Down By Jitney, Succumbs At St. Vincent's

M.T. Friary, prominent Norfolk business man, who was run down by a jitney at 
Charlotte and Granby Streets, on the night of February 10, died at St. Vincent's 
Hospital yesterday morning, death being due to double pneumonia, which developed 
as a result of his injuries.
Although Mr. Friary's injuries were at first not considered serious, pneumonia 
developed shortly after he was taken to the infirmary and he never rallied.
Mr. Friary was immensely popular with a wide circle of friends and was prominent 
in the business, religious, social and fraternal life of Norfolk. He was 
president of the real estate firm of C.H. Ferrell & Co. and was also interested 
in the Mutual Building Association and the Guaranty Title and Trust Company. He 
was returning from a directors' meeting of the Mutual Association when he was 
struck by the car.
Fraternally, Mr. Friary was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Red Men 
and also took an active part in the affairs of the Virginia club. He was a 
communicant of Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
He is survived by a wife and two children, Daniel and Margaret and one sister, 
Mrs. Smothers; a half brother, Philip Coyle, of Australia; a nephew, Thomas A. 
Smothers and two nieces, Miss Eileen Smothers and Miss Elizabeth Hatcher.
He lived at 1407 Colonial Avenue.
Funeral services will be conducted at the Sacred Heart Church tomorrow at 10 
o'clock and interment will be in St. Mary's Cemetery.
