Mr Patrick Mangan.
It is with much regret we record the death after
a brief illness, of Mr. Patrick Mangan, Coal Market House, Carlow, which
sad event occurred at Coal Market House in the early morning of the
first day of the New Year.
Deceased was the second surviving son of the late
Mr Martin Mangan, who built up an extensive and prosperous business as
corn buyer and maltster, and whose enterprise and probity during a long
and active life, reflected credit on the town.
The subject of our obituary inherited the
commercial instincts which made his father's name so well known
throughout the province.
He was a genial and well-informed citizen, an
affectionate husband and father, and a good friend.
Nine priests celebrated High Mass and Office in
the Cathedral.
The chief mourners were -- James Mangan
(brother), Masters Martin and Patrick Mangan, (sons), Misses Josephine,
Bride, Bess, Cathleen (daughters), Bride Kearney, (niece).
Wreaths were sent by the following:- "In loving
remembrance of dearest papa" from "Joe". "In fond remembrance from his
sorrowing family". "With Ciss Scully's deepest sympathy" "With heartfelt
sympathy from T.J. Schummacher"
[note added 2013 - Josephine was engaged to T. J.
Schummacher, he was manager of Boake's Drapery shop in Burrin Street,
(he was held responsible for Boakes fire 1st October 1906)
Josephine later married Dr. Blakney from Roscommon.]

1906.
Treat to
the Garryhill School Children.
The
Dowager Countess of Bessborough, gave a treat to the children of the
Garryhill Schools on Friday of last week.
Among
those present were the Earl of Bessborough, and Lady Kathleen Skinner
Ponsonby with her daughters.
Lord
Bessborough took advantage of the occasion to address a few words to the
assembled children.
He
pointed out to them the great importance of attending regularly and
attentively to their religious and secular duties, striving to improve
themselves in every way whilst they had the chance. He said he was
convinced they could not receive a better education than they did in the
Garryhill School from Mr Ryan and Miss Kelly.
Lord
Bessborough alluded to his personal acquaintance with Mr Ryan for 25
years and also with his father before him, and he considered it a unique
experience that father and son had taught in the same school for upwards
of 50 years.
Miss
Kelly, too, Lord Bessborough said, he had known for many years, and it
was a pleasure to him to be able to testify from personal knowledge of
the excellent work done in Garryhill school, not forgetting the
scholarships won there.
Lord
Bessbourgh urged the children to emulate their teachers, of whom he
thought so highly, to be obedient to them, striving to become useful men
and women, never allowing their names to be placed amongst those
commonly termed "wasters".

the instrumentality of the Bishop the Rt Rev Dr Foley Mr Andrew Carnegie

Carlow The original offer was shortly to give £1,250 on consideration
that u sum of £500, would be raised locally and a maintenance rate of

give £950 and to forego the condition that £500 should be raised locally
