MRS. O’HERN’S FUNERAL.
Held From St. Bonaventure’s Church, Allegany, This Morning. This morning from St. Bonaventure’s church, Allegany, occurred the funeral of the late Mrs. Ellen O’Hern, widow of the late Patrick O’Hern of this city. The solemn requiem mass was celebrated at 10 o’clock, the Very Rev. T. F. Hickey, vicar general of the diocese of Rochester, preaching the sermon. Burial was made in the Catholic cemetery near the church.
Yesterday the solemn requiem high mass was celebrated at St. Elizabeth’s church, South Sharon, by her four sons, assisted by the neighbouring clergy. Her six sons acted as pall bearers. The church was filled by sorrowing relatives and friends.
In his sermon today at St. Bonaventure’s church Father Hickey said: “Mr. and Mrs. O’Hern were among the pioneers, who by labour and money assisted materially in erecting the first buildings of St. Bonaventure’s college, in which later their first son was raised to the holy priesthood. It is worthy of note that the early priests of St. Bonaventure’s, among whom were the present apostolic delegate, Most Rev. Dionide Folconio, were frequent visitors at the O’Hern home. Mrs. O’Hern had a great love for this church and for the Franciscan Fathers and for upwards of fifty years was a devoted member of the Third Order of St. Francis.”
“Christmas 1904, her third son was ordained priest by Rt. Rev. B. J. McQuaid at Rochester. On the following day she had the peculiar happiness of witnessing solemn high mass at St. Patrick’s cathedral, celebrated by her four sons and two nephews of the same name, Rev. Maurice and William O’Hern.”
At this time Very Rev. Father Hickey spoke most eloquently of her queenly place among women, as the mother of three priests and a fourth one near ordination.
“Such is the life of one of God’s choicest women. Always humble, unassuming and kind towards everyone, she had a solid faith and piety that made her brave any and every sacrifice for the sake of her religion. Though mother of so many vocations, she was never known by a single word to influence any of her children in making a choice in life. Her part was prayer and example, the rest she left to God.”
Mrs. O’Hern was a remarkable woman in many ways. She was born at Duagh, county Kerry, Ireland. In the year 1839, her maiden name being Ellen Casey. She came to this country in the year 1850, when 11 years old. In June, 1857, she was married to her late husband at Cuba, N. Y. [see also: Mary (Casey) O’Hern]
