Mr. McTighe was the leader in the movement to raise the fund raised in Binghamton to aid the Quilty fishermen, who rescued the sailors of the _Leo XIII_ last autumn. The editor of _The Binghamton Press_ was made treasurer of the fund, in recognition of the sermonette editorial, based upon the thrilling story of the wreck, while Mr. McTighe took active charge of raising the money and sending it to Ireland. In business Mr. McTighe was a hard worker and a keen, methodical business man. He had the reputation everywhere of having a very high regard for his word. In his long life and connection with the grocery business he was associated with many of the pioneers of Binghamton business life and many of the old aristocrats of the business circle. He was a well educated and well read man, being a scholar in Latin, Spanish, Celtic and French. He was always improving his mind, and, it is said, started in to learn Greek when past the age of sixty, finally mastering it so that he read it with pleasure. The decease of this estimable man has left vacant a place hard to fill, and the entire city of Binghamton was filled with sorrow at his sudden death.
