The funeral of Michael Connelly, 61 years of age, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad engineer, who died suddenly at his home 200 Seymour street, Sunday night, was held this morning at 9 o'clock with requiem high mass, from St. Mary's Catholic Church, interment was in St Patrick's cemetery. Pallbearers were: Thomas C. Stakem, Frank A. Wolfhope, L.H. Ruppenkarnp. R. S. Farrell, George P. Ways all Fourth Degree Members of the Cumberland Council No 586 of the Knights of Columbus. Members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers were among the attendants. Mr. Connelly greatly prized a letter of recommendation written on September 2, 1908 by P. J. Harrigan, master mechanic of the B & O R R at Connellsville. It told of Mr. Connelly's rapid promotion due to efficient service, successively from brakeman, flagman, baggageman and express messenger, freight fireman, passenger fireman to engineer. He was promoted to assistant road foreman in August 1905 and served until August 1907 when he resigned, but continued as locomotive engineer. He began as brakeman in March 1883. The letter in part follows; "I will say for Mr. Connelly that his record is good and his habits are far above the average railroad engineer. He is a man of good education and has always been truthful, energetic and subordinate to the rules and regulations and has made himself worthy of the confidence of his superior officers being sober and industrious and I feel certain can fill any position to the satisfaction of his employer.
