A fatal accident occurred at Northern Arm of Holyrood on Thursday last. A young man of twenty years, named John Quinlan, was drowned by falling through the ice. The deceased had crossed over on the ice in the same locality where he subsequently met his end, in the morning on his way to school. At noon, on his return home, he attempted to re-cross and when about midway fell through the ice. He was seen by people on each side, who did all in their power to save him, but before any help could reach him he had disappeared. The place where the accident happened was but a short distance from his home. He was the fourth son of Mr. John Quinlan, planter.

Captain John QUINLAN, Holyrood. In the passing of Capt. John Quinlan, on Thursday morning last, Holyrood lost one of its most prominent and respected citizens. The deceased was in his 80^th year, and had suffered from heart trouble for a number of years, so that his end was not unexpected. During the repeated attacks of that malady Rev. Father Finn was in constant attendance, fortified him with the last Sacraments, and endowed him with medical and spiritual comforts for his journey thither which was witnessed by his family circle. In the death of our old friend, Mr. Quinlan, we are left to mourn the type of men who are unfortunately growing rarer every day. Men of industry, initiative and handicraft; big men in every sense of the word; big in body, great in mind; sound in principle, valiant in battle; sage in council and honest in action. He was of a herculean build and gigantic size. Most of the family have huge statures. The late James Quinlan, a brother of the deceased, was of a giant-like stature. For almost half a century the Quinlan brothers owned and sailed a craft of their own and prosecuted a successful fishing plantation at Cape Greep, Labrador. James and two of his crew were lost there 25 years ago while attempting to pull to the traps in a strong breeze of wind. This ill-fated expedition cast a gloom over the plantation and interrupted the fishing industry there.
Capt. John was a high liner at the seal fishery, and was one of the late Capt. Wm. Jackman's picked men, and served as master watch with that famous seal killer. In the late seventies and early eighties the subject of our obituary sketch was a recognized leader in the social life of the community then and was one of the founders of the Temperance, Medical Aid and Agricultural Societies. In political life, too, he was a recognized leader of opinion, a strict Conservative and a hard fighter and hitter for his party. He leaves to lament his loss and to emulate his industry and the other aspects of his character, six sons and one daughter: James and Patrick at home; Edmund, Police Constable, Trepassey; Rodger, Police Constable, Curling; Peter, Master Mariner, U.S.A.; and Cornelius, Professor, Dakota, and Mrs. Patrick Meyer, Chapel's Cove, with all of whom we sorrow and to all of whom we offer our sincere and heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement. His funeral took place Saturday morning from his late residence, North Arm, to the temporary church - the Star hall, where Requiem Mass was said for the eternal repose of his soul, and when the funeral service had been recited over his bier the body was borne to the hearse in waiting by the pallbearers and the funeral cortege continued its route to Holy Cross Cemetery where the remains were interred beside those of his wife, Mary Quinlan, who predeceased him nine years ago. Jesus have mercy on their souls.

Brigus Jottings. Death has been very busy here during the past month, carrying off more than a dozen of the population since March came in, mostly young children. The two most recent deaths, and most deserving of notice, present a most remarkable contrast - the one, an old lady whose years had long passed the allotted span, having attained the venerable age of ninety-five; the other, a young and beautiful woman, who had not yet reached the meridian of life, being only thirty-two. The old lady referred to, Mrs. Elizabeth Quinlan, retained the use of her faculties up to the last, and on the morning of her death eat her breakfast as heartily as ever, an hour or so after which she suddenly expired. She had been a widow for nearly fifty years, being one of very many caused by the loss of the Bickley, John Penney, master, coming home from Labrador with a ship full of freighters in the Fall of 1847. Brigus was a long time recovering from the effects of that sad calamity. Whole families were swept away; widows and orphans abounded everywhere, and scarcely a house but mourned the loss of husband, son, brother or sister, and in many instances all combined. The lately deceased Mrs. Quinlan was one of these; her husband, three sons and a brother having gone down in the ill-fated Bickley, leaving her with a small boy and two or three little girls destitute. However, she struggled bravely to maintain the dear ones left to her, keeping them always around her, and her only remaining son since he came to man's estate has nobly repaid his debt of gratitude to her for her hard struggle during the days of his childhood by the care and attention he gave her in her old age. Full of years, she was yesterday borne to the grave, followed by her grandchildren and a great number of relatives and friends. Another funeral took place in the afternoon of the same day, that of Mrs. Benjamin French, the young woman above mentioned, which was of a much more saddening nature. She was only in the bloom of life, and leaves a husband with six small children, the eldest of whom is only thirteen years, to mourn the very sad loss of an affectionate wife and loving mother.
