The Norfolk Landmark April 19, 1898

The many friends and acquaintances of Mrs. B.M. McMahon will regret exceedingly 
to learn of her death, which occurred at her home, No. 166 Mariner Street, 
yesterday afternoon at 2:20 o'clock. Mrs. McMahon was taken with pneumonia about 
two weeks ago, and, although she had the best medical attention and the most 
careful nursing, she never rallied. She bore her fatal illness with true 
Christian resignation and died fortified with all the graces of a true believer.
The deceased was a most estimable lady and had been a resident of this city 
about forty years. She was a devout member of St. Mary's Catholic Church and 
assisted its wants in many ways, being always ready to relieve the distressed. 
She leaves a husband and two children - Miss Mamie J. Magee, of this city and 
Dr. M. D'Arcy Magee of Washington. The funeral will take place from St. Mary's 
Church at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

                            Funeral of Mrs. McMahon
 
One of the largest assemblages of friends which have ever gathered in St. Mary’s 
Catholic Church to pay a last sad tribute of respect was that yesterday morning 
at the funeral services of Mrs. B. M. McMahon. Solemn requiem mass was said, the 
officiating priests being the Rev. Father Francis Doory, of Elkridge, Md., a 
friend of the deceased, celebrant; the Rev. Father Doherty, deacon; the Rev. 
Father Reilly, sub-deacon, and the Rev. Father Frioli master of ceremonies. The 
Rev. Fathers Brady and Hanley, of Portsmouth, and the Rev. Father Wilson 
occupied seats in the sanctuary. The music was in perfect accord with the 
services, Miss Elizabeth A. Taylor and Miss Mary Smith, of Norfolk, and Mr. 
Thomas McNulty, of Baltimore, singing solos.
The casket, which was covered with choice flowers, was handled by the following 
gentlemen: Messrs. J. C. Carroll, A. W. Mehagan, Stephen V. Hennelly, James A. 
Kerr, James W. Long, T. H. Synon, Patrick Larkin and James E. Duke. The 
following were the honorary pallbearers: Messrs. William H. White, Peter Smith, 
William Hart, William Schroeder, Edward Mahoney, William M. Hannan, John Twohy 
and William Parker. The interment was in St. Mary’s Cemetery.
