The pall bearers were Joseph Rigney, Michael E. Bannin, Thomas E. Murray, Col. John McAnerney, Richard S. Treacy, James H. Post, President of the National Sugar Refining Company, Joseph W. Foster, Frank Schaffer, Vice-President of Hugh Kelly & Co., Thomas Mulry, President Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank and Myles Tierney, President of the Hudson Trust Company. The interment was in Calvary Cemetery. Mr. Kelly is survived by his widow, three sons and four daughters. Personally, Mr. Kelly was a quiet, hearty, genial man, easily approachable and warm-hearted, seeming to have time for every demand upon him in spite of his numerous responsibilities, and a host of friends esteemed him most highly for his ability, integrity and sound judgment. In the business life of New York in which he moved, he will be deeply missed.

James Jeffrey Roche, LL. D., which was ordered spread upon the records and a copy thereof sent to the family of Dr. Roche: [Illustration: JAMES JEFFREY ROCHE, LL. D (Deceased). Patriot, Editor, Diplomat and Poet. One of the Founders of our Society. ] MEMORIAL OF JAMES JEFFREY ROCHE. Under the skies of that brave mountain land, Where Alpine shepherds feudal might defied, Where struggling freedom warring cent’ries spanned, There in the shadows of the hills he died. He died as dies some long sweet summer day, When fruits are golden on the burdened trees; The sun’s pale glory on the sky’s blue gray, And night comes fragrant on the cooling breeze. They brought him home and laid him down to rest, To sleep forever in his narrow bed, Amid the scenes and friends that he loved best, At rest forever with his sacred dead. JOSEPH SMITH, in the Boston Traveler. James Jeffrey Roche was born in the little Quaker town of Mountmellick in Queen’s County, Ireland, the son of Edward and Mary (Doyle) Roche and was taken while yet an infant of a few weeks, to Prince Edward’s Island, whither his parents emigrated. He grew up in Charlottetown, where his father Edward Roche, an accomplished scholar, conducted a school; and he supplemented the training given him by his scholarly father by a course at the Jesuit College of St. Dunstan’s in Charlottetown, from which he was graduated. Among his college classmates were Chief Justice Sullivan of Prince Edward’s Island and Archbishop O’Brien of Halifax, N. S.
