youngest daughter, Grace, and son, Thomas, live with him at “Benburb
Place,” and the Ramparts. Mrs. Carbray died in May, 1895. She was a
patriotic Irish woman and revered and esteemed for her piety and
devotedness to God’s poor. In October, 1902, he married Miss Brigid
Carberry—widow of the late Nicholas K. Connolly—sister of his first
wife. The marriage ceremony was performed at St. Gabriel’s Church, New
York, by Archbishop Farley. She died on July 1, 1903, deeply regretted
by her sorrowing husband and all who knew her. A most amiable lady and,
like her sister, devoted to the poor. Mr. Carbray filled many
distinguished positions in his life; he is held in high esteem by his
fellow citizens of all races, creeds and politics. He was a member of
the Quebec Harbor Commission, of the Quebec Board of Trade, consul for
Portugal, and, being the oldest consul here, is dean of the Consular
Corps, senior trustee of St. Patrick’s Church, of the St. Bridget’s
Asylum Association, president of the United Irish League, etc., etc. Mr.
Carbray was an ardent upholder of the movement for the revival of the
Irish language. He delivered a lecture on this subject at Tara Hall,
Quebec, in April, 1899, which displayed profound knowledge of the
subject, and attracted the attention and encomiums of the whole Celtic
world. Mr. Carbray had a collection of books on Ireland which formed
probably the best of its kind in Canada. He was a member of the Royal
Irish Academy.
