Gleeson. Departed this life, July 9, 1885, at 6:30 p.m., John Aloysius, beloved son of Andrew and Ellen Gleeson, aged 23 years 2 days.
     Thy bright star of our home is gone,
     The one we loved so well
     But God has taken our Johnie home,
     And with Him he will dwell.

     Brother, we hope gain to meet thee
     When the day of life is fled
     Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
     Where no farewell tear is shed.
          By His Sisters
His funeral will take place from his parents’ residence, No. 718 North Capitol street, between G and H streets, July 12 at 3 o’clock p.m.

Gleeson. Drowned on July the 28th, during the prevalence of the Pittsburg devastation, while attempting to cross the Gree Spring run, in Western Virginia, Michael, eldest son of Dennis and Catherine Gleeson, of this city, aged 21 years. Requiem in pace.
     A noble man there lays at rest
     As e'er God with his image blessed,
     The friend of man, the friend of youth,
     The guide of age, the friend of truth,

     Few hearts like his with mercy warmed,
     Few heads with knowledge so informed,
     We hope in heaven he lives in bliss,
     Because he lived sincere in this.
