I think that
possibly these two are the same person and 1849 being a
mistranscription.
The second being a reassement after 2 years in
Kilmainham
and him not having
gone to OZ in 1848...we shal see.
There are also a
number of Creans.
I have not visited the Irish Archives site for

Politics in
Carrick
29 November 1890
On Wednesday night
last a meeting was held in the
League room,
Carrick-on-Shannon for the purpose of
re-organizing the
defunct Branch of the League. Mr
George McCann
presided. There were also present-Messrs
John Fox, P. L.
G., Timothy Murray, John Guckian, R.
J. Cryan, James
Kelly, Denis Cassidy, Thomas Mulheran,
John Watters, J.
Carter, M. Hunt, Owen Brennan, James
Noone. Mr Cryan
read the following:
“
“Dear Sir–I beg to
acknowledge the receipt of your
letter, the spirit
of which does you infinite credit.
I would suggest
that a half dozen of the people would
wait on the
priests of the parish and ask them to
co-operate in
re-organizing the Branch of the League.
A meeting should
then be called for the purpose of
enrolling members.
As soon as the parish is
sufficiently
organized notice should be given that an
election of
officers and committee would take place in
which no person
could take part without having
qualified by the
payment of his subscription in
accordance with
the rules, copies of which I enclose
herewith. As soon
as I hear that a provisional
committee is
formed, and a secretary pro tem
appoinsary. In conclusion let me point out that it
ted (?) ...I shall
forward whatever number of cards of
membership is
thought necessary …is most essential
that the priests
of the parish should co-operate in
the formation of
the Branch as it is a guarantee to
the Organizing
Committee that the business of the
Branch will be
conducted in a proper and efficient
manner.- Yours
faithfully, D. J. Hishon.”
Mr Cryan
complained of the shopkeepers of Carrick
absenting
themselves after being summoned to attend
here to-night.
Things were getting too bad now-a-days
when those
shopkeepers refused to join in the National
ranks, and refused
to give their co-operation in
forwarding the
National movement. They were too
aristocratic to be
seen in the company with tradesmen,
but such
flunkeyism should not be tolerated. He hoped
his action in the
matter met with their approval.
Mr Murray said that their presence
to-night showed
that the League,
though dormant for a time, was not as
Balfour said, “a
thing of the past.” He regretted that
there was not a
fuller attendance of townspeople
present. The
country responded nobly to the call of
duty, and he
predicted that their meeting to-night
augured well for
the success of the branch.
Mr Kelly–I endorse every word that has
been said, and
I hold that it
behoves every man worthy of the name of
an Irishman to
stand by his country in this crisis.
Mr Murray–It is
for a common object we are assembled
here to-night, and
every man in town should put his
shoulder to the
wheel.
Messrs Kelly, Watters, Fox, Cryan and
Cassidy were
appointed as
delegates to wait on the townspeople
Tuesday to enrol
themselves in the League.
Mr Watters asked to be excused, as he
collected for
the Tenants’
Defence funds last year.
Mr Cassidy–There will be no flunkyism
here. Let no
one be afraid of
the police, or have any cowardice
about them.
Mr Kelly–This is not the time for
cowardice. We can
snap our fingers
at the police.
Delegates were also appointed for the
country
districts.

Boyle Petty
Sessions.
A Row about
“Poteen.”
The police charged Joseph Connolly and
Batty Cryan of
Breedogue, with
fighting on the public street on the
fair day. The
defendants had cross-cases against each
other. Mr
McDermott appeared for Connolly and Mr
McMorrow for
Cryan.
Cryan was sworn and said – I was in Mr
Leyland’s in a
little room off
the shop. I went to the right, and
Connolly came in,
and sat on the left at another
table. “Well,” he
says, “you thief and you robber, are
you going to pay
me for the “poteen” whiskey you stole
from me?” I never
stole any “poteen” from him. He said
he would take my
life if I would not pay him for the
“poteen” whiskey.
He had a dreadful weapon of a stick
in his hand. I
struck him a nice little blow of a
stick just to keep
him quiet (laughter). Mr John
great annoyance in
the shop. I went out, and told
three policemen he
was after me. They said that they
were not on duty,
but would tell me where there was a
policeman on duty.
I went down to Mr Phillip’s, and
came back before
the policeman. Connolly struck me on
the arm with a
stick. I had a little ashplant, and
only I defended
myself he would take my life.
To Mr McDermott–I was sober; I admit I
struck the
first blow in the
room.
A boy named John Beirne deposed that he
saw Joe
Connolly hit Batty
Cryan a “skelp” of a stick. He saw
Cryan defend
himself.
Joe Connolly was examined and said he
had some drink
taken that day.
After some little arguments in
a second attempt
to strike him.
To Mr McMorrow–I had a grudge against
Cryan; I don’t
like him to tell
you honestly (laughter).
Mr McMorrow–Is that because he
appropriated your
“poteen”?
Mr Webb–He is not bound to answer
(laughter).
Pat Gara was examined, and admitted
that Connolly
began the argument
and Cryan struck first.
Mr Webb said in consideration of the
provocation,
they dismissed
both cases.

Keash Branch (Co.
–At the meeting
held on Sunday last, Mr Luke Hannon,
V. P., occupied
the chair. He said they all had reason
to lament the
sudden death of Andrew Cryan, the
youngest member of
their committee, who was snatched
away so suddenly.
Few amongst them had done more than
he to serve the
National cause. He joined the band at
the age of sixteen
years, and soon became the leading
player. He was
always ready at the shortest notice
wherever the
services of the band were required. He
thought they could
all congratulate themselves on the
orderly way the
funeral arrangements were carried out.
It was a
respectable sight to see. 100 of his brother
Nationalists, all
young men, wearing white and green
scarves, marching
in processional order, paying him
their last tribute
of respect by convoying his remains
to their last
resting place in Templevanny. The
following
resolution was passed by the committee: –
‘That we avail
ourselves of this our earliest
opportunity in
expressing our sincere regret for the
death of Andrew
Cryan, one of our respected committee,
that we tender to
his sorrowing father, brothers and
sisters our deep
sympathy in their grief and trouble.’

The Morals of
Boyle Workhouse – The Sworn Inquiry
On Monday last
Capt, Sampson, Local Government Board
Inspector, held a
sworn inquiry in the boardroom of
Boyle workhouse
regarding the scandal connected with
the birth of an
illegitimate child by a woman named
Anne Cryan, who
has been an inmate for eleven years,
and who alleged
that the schoolmaster was the father.
Dr. Stafford, J.
P., Rev. C. O’Malley, P. P….and the
following
guardians, Messers P. Mullany, J. Lindsay of
Candon and J.
Mulrooney were present during the
proceedings.
Annie Cryan was sworn and said–I have
been an inmate
of Boyle workhouse
for 11 years outside the 3rd April
next, I have not
been out of the house on any occasion
for the last six
years; I was confined of a child on
the 1st February.;
the father is Mr Conway, the
schoolmaster; it
occurred in May last; I am not
certain about the
time; it was about the first week.
It occurred in the
schoolroom in the afternoon about
between 6 and 7
o’clock. It occurred twice but not on
the same day.
When was the first occasion? – In May;
I could not
give the date;
there was about a week between. The
second occurrence
took place in the evening about the
same hour.
How did you get to the schoolroom? – He
asked me up.
I was in the hall
after giving out the milk for the
suppers. I was in
the hall. He asked me would I go up
to the schoolroom,
that he wanted me. I went up. I did
not know at that
time the purpose he wanted me for. He
said nothing but
took a hold of me. I made no
resistance. I came
out to the infirm ward for old
women that I
belong to. I never told anyone until the
baby was born.
How did you get across from the infirm
ward to the
schoolroom? – Down
the hall and out the halldoor. I
got from the hall
to the infirm ward, as the door was
open. I did not
see any person in the hall when I
passed through. I
used to measure out the milk for the
suppers for the
house. I got the milk in the store,
which was open.
This young gentleman (Mr Conway) was
in charge of the
store giving out the milk. I could no
say where the
Master was. If the Master is doing
business in any
other place, the schoolmaster takes
the keys and takes
charge of the store. He was in
charge on these
two nights. I never went to the
hospital or to the
body of the house with the milk; a
little girl takes
up the milk to the Master’s room.
The doors from the
infirm ward to the hall are locked
during the day,
but open at supper time. These things
occurred after
supper.
How did you find the doors open when
you came back? –
Prayers were going
on in the chapel. I did not attend
them on those
occasions. I never found the doors open
at any other time,
when I wanted to pass in and out of
the hall. After
the child was born, I told the Matron
and Mrs French
whose the child was. I had two other
children.
Where were the boys out of the
schoolroom on these
nights? – They
were at prayers.
Cross-examined by Mr MacDormot – I am
the mother of
two illegitimate
children; a man named Davy near
Ballymote was
father of both of them. The eldest of
children is 14
years, and is a servant to the Master;
I never help her.
I was five years a nurse in the
hospital. I broke
my foot it and the Medical officer
did not put me out
for being drunk. I’m sure the
Master was in the
house the night these things
happened. He might
be over here looking at his books.
The schoolmaster
never had much conversation with me.
I told him before
Christmas at the turfhouse I was so.
He laughed it off
in little laugh and he said he would
see me again. He
never saw me again and he knows
himself that is
the truth. He need not be bringing
anyone in the
house into it but himself. The Master
was sick last
June. I went up to the Master’s room for
an order for the
milk; but if I did his daughter was
there. The Master
was in bed, but was not I handed him
the bill, but his
daughter. It was Mr Conway sent me
up with the order
because it was I knew best, the milk
I gave out. You
need not be bringing the Master into
it at all.
Capt. Sampson (sharply) – Just answer
the questions
now.
Cross-examination resumed – It is about
five years
ago since the
Matron reported my having got drink in
the Porter’s room.
I did not go into prayers on these
nights because I
was not good enough to go there.
Why did you not go that night? –
Because he had me
“drawn.” I did not
take any supper in the hall as I
was in the ward
small. He spoke to me when I was
giving out the
milk before the ward supper; he told me
he wanted me. I
did not tell Honor McLaughlin I was
bribed to xxx it
on him. I do not care what she swears
or what he swears
he is the father of it. I told the
Matron it occurred
in the women’s yard. I did not want
to be telling them
everything.
Capt. Sampson – Why did you tell them
it occurred in
the women’s yard?
– I did not like to tell them
anything until it
came to the point here.
Mr MacDermot – When she was making
herself up for
this inquiry, she
knew she could not give a more
private place than
the schoolroom.
Capt. Sampson – I want to see can she
give any
intelligible
reason why she invented the yard, and
then changed it to
the schoolroom. It appears to me
she cannot.
The witness
further stated – The prayers were not
finished when I
came back from the schoolroom. The
doors are locked
the minute prayers are over. I swear
no extra supplies
were sent to me to the hospital
since the child
was born.
Mr MacDermot said he would not examine
Mr Conway
until he saw she
had corroborative evidence.
Capt. Sampson –
The question of the paternity of the
child is not of so
much of importance as the question
of how this
irregularity occurred.
Mr Mullany as a
guardian asked if this was noticed by
anyone or by the
officers of the house.
Capt. Sampson – We have not got to the
officers of
the house yet.
Mr MacDermot – If this women can get no
corroboration, I
venture to say you would not believe
her alone.
Capt. Sampson – That is as regards the
paternity of
the child; but the
actual fact remains the child was
born in the house.
Better get the schoolmaster now,
and let him make
his statement.
Mr Edward Conway was then sworn.
Cryan – You are taking that oath
wrongfully.
Mr Conway – It is entirely false I had
communication
with her.
Cryan – Certainly.
Capt. Sampson – Don’t interrupt. You
were not
interrupted.
Mr Conway – I often had to speak to her
and give her
directions. I
never made any appointment with her in
the milk-store, or
any place else. The first time I
heard of any
imputation of this sort was the morning
the child was
born; I was away at a wedding and came
back that morning.
I never spoke to her about the
turfhouse about
this.
Cryan – Certainly you did.
Capt. Sampson – You must hold your
tongue or I will
put you out of the
room.
Mr Conway – I
always read the prayers when the Master
is out or I have
to take out the milk or give out the
suppers for the
house. If I had a friend in my room, I
would ask Miss
Sheorin to read the prayers. That
seldom occurs. I
was absent at home on the 8th May.
The Master was
absent two or three nights at the end
of May, and I read
the prayers. When the Mater is
absent, after
having given out the milk, I give out
the oil, and take
the keys of the front house, and
lock them in the
porter’s desk. Then I go to the
Master's office,
and enter up the hospital books for
the day.
Capt. Sampson – How is it you enter up
the Master’s
books?
Mr Conway – I would do it to oblige
him. There is no
return kept of the
days I would do the Master’s duty.
I never go into
the schoolroom after supper. There are
always people
moving about the hall. She could
possibly go far
without being remarked.
Capt. Sampson – Have you any way of
showing where you
were on these particular
nights in May?
Witness – Three or four women in the
house attended
the rosary every
night. I attended very regularly in
times of special
devotion. They won’t be able to prove
to particular
dates. I had a conversation in the
presence of the
Porter with the Master since this
child was born. He
suggested to me it was better for
me to go and throw
this woman a £1 and get out of it.
I said she would
never get any money from me.
Capt. Sampson – Is that material?
Mr MacDermot – I think it is.
In reply to the Inspector, Dr Stafford
said the first
week in May would
be correct.
Miss Cunningham, the matron was sworn
and said – The
morning the child
was born I asked when did it occur
and she said in
June in the women’s yard. I said I did
not believe it
could have occurred there, as there
were so many
people about. I said it did occur there
after prayers and
that it was the schoolmaster. I was
speaking to Mrs
French, and she said it could not have
been June. This
women then said it might have been May
or June, and was
not sure – that she was not well up
in dates. I used
to see her every day, and I did not
notice her
condition before this.
Capt. Sampson – It seems extraordinary
you did not
notice a thing
like that.
Witness – Since
this occurrence the women’s doors are
always locked.
As a matter of
fact while the people were in at
prayers, any
person that liked could ramble about the
house? I never met
any of them rambling.
But they could do
it if they liked? - I suppose they
could when the
door was open. There was no roll call
to see were the
people at prayers. This women, was
always in the hall
giving out the milk. A great many
of the hospital
people come down to prayers. The
inform people get
there meals carried to them.
You say the doors
were left open during prayers, and
if a woman stood
behind she could go about the house
of her own accord?
– Yes, until the doors would be
locked; that was
always so before I came to the house.
As a rule I always
take curfew of the hall when the
inmates are having
their supper. I stand by the man
giving out the
meals. Sometimes I go into the chapel
with the inmates,
or I am about the place. After
prayers the
schoolmistress locks the women’s door.
This woman
sometimes brought messages to the Master’s
room in the
morning. He would send down for her and I
would send her up,
and the schoolmaster would do it in
the same way when
he would be doing the business.
Seldom I give out
the breakfasts.
It seems an
extraordinary thing that a woman with two
illegitimate
children in the house could wander about
the house without
being called to order? – She was a
wardsmaid.
Her proper
position was in the infirm ward, she had no
business to go to
the Master’s room and there might
have been a better
selection as wardsmaid? – I never
had any fault to
find with her, she always behaved
herself very well
in the house; she was very clean,
and that was the
reason she was brought in to give out
the milk.
To Mr MacDermot –
I never saw any intimacy between her
and Mr Conway, or
any man coming in or out of the
house.
Mrs French,
hospital nurse, swore she was present when
Cryan made the
statement to Mrs Cunningham. The child
was full-grown.
Miss Cunningham
explained that this woman was selected
as a wardsmaid
because she was best of her class.
Capt. Sampson – It
was not about her being a nurses I
spoke, but about
her being sent up to the Master’s
room.
A tall bold woman
named Anne Purcell was called by Mr
MacDermot an
sworn. She said- I am 14 months an inmate
here; I spent most
of my time in the cookhouse, and
slept here. About
this time twelve months, before the
bed bell rung, I
saw Anne Cryan coming from the front
house with the
Master, and she appeared to be
intoxicated with
liquor. He let her out and locked the
door. After being
in the laundry he said, “Anne Cryan,
ring the bell.” I
said she was there. “Oh, Anne
Purcell,” says he,
“ring the bell.” I suppose Anne
Cryan was always
in his mind. About the 8th or 9th of
May when the
rosary was going on, I saw Anne Cryan
talking with the
Master in the schoolroom. Her
daughter was
standing there in the hall, and I said,
“what is your
mother doing there with the Master?” She
said she wanted
clothes from the Master, as they were
going out. Mr
Conway was there at the rosary with his
children.
Capt. Sampson –
Was the Master under the influence of
drink that night
that he locked Anne Cryan outside the
door?
Witness – I could
not say he was under the influence
of drink, because
I always saw him in the habit of
having some drink
taken.
Capt. Sampson
asked the Master did he want to ask her
any questions.
The Master said
there were never greater falsehoods
sworn. The woman
was most vindictive because he
checked her on
several occasions.
James Bruen was
called as the next witness by Mr
MacDermot, and
said – I am porter to Messrs Kennedy
who have a
contract for supplying goods to the
workhouse. On one
occasion I saw the Mater and this
woman in the
milk-store. This woman was leaning over
the churn, and he
had his arms around her waist. I
said to him “Mr
Kennedy would be blaming me for
delaying.” He
said, “All right, James, I will be ready
in a few minutes.”
The Master said he
would ask no questions. He wondered
the man would
presume to sit there, and swear what he
did.
An old woman named
Honor McLaughlin , who is servant
to Mr Conway,
swore that a fortnight before this woman
was confined, she
said to her not to crush her, as she
was near her
confinement, and “of her opinion she
would leave it on
the schoolmaster, as she was
bribed.”
Cryan – Wasn’t it
lucky I told that to a lunatic like
you?
Mr Philip
O’Donnell, the porter, was next examine
briefly as to the
entries in his book.
Capt. Sampson – I
don’t think that evidence is
important. I will
now ask Father O’Malley, the
chaplain.
The Rev. O’Malley,
P.P., V. F., was sworn and said he
reported this
matter to the guardians. From the
evidence he heard
to-day there was an irregularity
with regard to
closing the doors during prayer.
Have you had to
find fault with any of the officers as
to their conduct
or behaviour in the house as chaplain
of the
institution? - Yes, I had to find fault with
the Master and
with O’Donnell, the porter.
What kind of
misconduct to do you attribute to them? –
Drunkenness. It
was probably five months ago. I saw
the Master and
with O’Donnell, the porter.
Did you see him
doing his duty in the house drunk? -
It was not long
ago since I saw him worth a
considerable
quantity of drink taken but still he was
doing his work. I
saw the porter in his room very
incapable from
drink on one occasion. I think there
should be a more
strict supervision practised with
regard to the
attendance of the inmates at night and
morning prayers. I
can give no information regard to
this affair; I
often saw this women attending her
religious duties.
Mr Richard (House?) Master, was then
sworn. He said
it was the talk of
the hose how this women deceived
every one as to
her condition. He swore that the
statements of
Purcell and Bruen were utterly false.
His daughter was
there on the three occasions this
woman came to his
room with the account of the milk.
What Father
O’Malley swore about him was correct.
Have you any
reason or excuse oaf any kind how this
connection between
this woman and any man took place
in the house,
putting the schoolmaster out of the
question? – Every
officer has his pass key, and it
might be used
improperly or not; no person can control
that.
Mr Hall tendered the daughter of Anne
Cryan as
writes, but the
Inspector would not take her evidence
as against her
mother.
Mr Conway appealed to Mr Odbert, the
clerk, as to his
character.
The Inspector said he knows nothing
about his conduct
in the house.
Cryan – Mr Hall is fairly belied.
This terminated the inquiry, and the
Local Government
board will
communicate the result to the guardians.

14 April 1888
The Master and
Porter Called on to Resign.
The following was
read: -
Local Government Board.
Dublin, 6 April 1888.
Sir – I am
directed by the Local government Board for
Ireland to inform
the Board of Guardians of Boyle
Union that they
have received Capt. Sampson’s report
of the inquiry,
held by him into a charge of
immorality
preferred against the schoolmaster of the
workhouse by an
inmate named Anne Cryan, together with
minutes of the
evidence taken at the inquiry which are
enclosed for the
guardians’ information. Capt.
Sampson in his
report states as follows:-“Anne Cryan,
the woman in
question, is the mother of two
illegitimate
children and states the schoolmaster is
the father of this
child. It appears after the child
was born, she
stated both to the Matron and the
hospital nurse
that the connection only took place
once in the
women’s yard. On, however, their fixing
the time and hour
she gave, it would be broad daylight
and almost
impossible for it to occur in such a public
place. She
afterwards changed the time and place , and
said it occurred
twice in the schoolroom. She admits
on oath that the
statements she first made are false,
and can offer no
reason for having done so. From the
evidence and the
way in which she gave it, I feel
certain she was
not stating the truth and that her
evidence cannot be
relied on. Mrs McLoughlin , an old
woman, swears she
had a conversation with Anne Cryan
before the child
was born, and that Anne Cryan told
her she would put
it on the schoolmaster, and that she
had been bribed to
do so. Mr Conway, the schoolmaster,
is a young man, of
very good character, and he denies
on oath all the
statements made against him by Anne
Cryan. Taking the
previous character of this woman
into
consideration, as well as her acknowledgement
that her first
statements were false, and there being
absolutely no
corroboration, I think she has
altogether failed
to establish her charge. The fact,
however, remains
that the child was born in the house,
the management of
which does not appear to be in a
satisfactory
state.”
The guardians will observe that
although Anne Cryan
has failed to
prove her charge, there is evidence to
show that the
Master has been guilty of great neglect
of duty, and that
he not maintained proper discipline
and classification
in the establishment. It also
appears that both
himself and the Porter are addicted
to habits of
intemperance, and that at a recent
occasion the
Master was fined at Petty Sessions for
drunkenness on the
streets. Under these circumstances
it is quite
evidence that these officers are wholly
unfit for their
situations, and the Local government
board request that
the guardians will call upon them
to send in their
resignations at their next meeting.
You are requested
to return the minutes of evidence to
this office when
done with. – I am Sir your obedient
servant,
D. J. MacSheahan, Asst.
Sec.
The Master and Porter were called
before the board
and informed of
the result by the chairman.
The Master said it was usual for Boards
of Guardians
to ask the Local
Government Board reconsider their
decision.
Mr O’Brien said he saw from the Herald
report that
there only one
charge of intemperance proved against
the porter.
After some discussion Mr Cox proposed
the following
which was seconded
by Mr Burns: –
As our Master, Mr
Hall is a very old officer of this
union for over 25
years, and this being the first
charge preferred
against him, also our Porter Mr
O’Donnell, whom
the board are also satisfied has
discharged his
duties satisfactorily, we trust the
Local Government
Board will reconsider their decision,
as these officers
have promised they will be more
attentive to their
duties in future, and a repetition
of this offence
will not occur.
Mr Lindsay
proposed and Mr O’Rorke seconded that the
matter be
adjourned for the summoned Board on that
day, fortnight.
The voting was: –
For the resolution
– Messrs Powell, Burns, Cox, H.
Lawrence – 4.
For the
adjournment – Messrs Priest, Mullany, O’Rorke,
O’Brien, Flanagan,
Lindsay, Chairman – 7. Mr S.
Lawrence did not
vote.

If anyone is
interested in the descendants of Peter CRANE
(transliterated to
CREAN in my family) who farmed at Slevoy Wexford ca 1690, please
contact me.
With a lot of help from the Augustinian
friars at
Wellingtonbridge,
and internet
friends, I've been able to sort out ten generations in
Ireland, the US,
Canada and Australia. Let me know who/if I can help you.
The CRANE name
appears to have died out in Marshalstown, Barrystown and
Ballymitty as most
of the male offspring went into the clergy or
emigrated.

Sad
Death of a Youg Carrick Man
(Roscommon
Herald 4th August 1889)
(From
our correspondent)
Patrick
Cryan, the young man who three weeks ago, met
with
such a melancholy accident when passing the
demesne
of Mr Guy Lloyd, D.L. died on Wednesday
evening
at his parents' residence, Carrick. The
deceased
was suffering from concussion of the brain
caused
by the falling of a branch of a tree
during
the late storm, and was under the care of Dr.
Kiernan,
and was progressing favourably until he
became
convulsed and died rather suddenly. Much regret
is
felt at his premature death, as the deceased was a
great
favourite. On Friday his remains were interred
in
Kiltoghert.

Death
of Master Luke Cryan (Roscommon Herald 5th July
1890)
(From
our Correspondent)
It
would seem incredible, but yet it is a reality,
that
that jovial
youth
in
his
teens is now stilled in death. His ever
beaming
countenance
and
genial
disposition
had endeared him to his companions in
Carrick-on-Shannon,
where
he
spent the major portion of is brief span of life.
After
a short illness, he succumbed at his parent's
residence,
Carrowrengh, on Monday, June 23rd,
at the
age of 17 years. The deepest sympathy is
felt
for
his afflicted relatives, and to his esteemed
Father,
John Cryan, Esq., P.L.G., we tender
our
condolence in his hour of affliction - R.I.P.
