STROKE FATAL TO LAWRENCE DEELY
FORMER GLASS WORKER AND VETERAN TIMPLATE GATEKEEPER DIED LAST NIGHT.
CAME HERE IN BOOM DAYS
Lawrence Deely, 67, died at his home at 1226 North D street, at 10:30 o'clock last night, following a stroke of paralysis. He had not been complaining of feeling badly and was uptown Tuesday, calling on his friends at the city building, one of whom was his companion of bygone days, Daniel Cummins.
NATIVE OF IRELAND.
Mr. Deely was a native of Ireland and came to this country about forty years ago, locating at Pittsburgh.
There he was married to Miss Catherine Vetters and the family came to Elwood in the gas boom days with the glass workers of the Macbeth-Evans factory and have resided here since. He was the boss furnace man when the glass factory in this city was built and was employed there for a number of years. For the past fifteen years he has been the faithful watchman at the west gate at the tinplate.
In the death of "Larry" Deely Elwood loses a good citizen, a man who was widely known and universally liked. Among the tinplate employes he counted his friends by the hundreds and the many expressions heard from the factory men, in speaking of his death today, indicates the regard in which he was held.
He is survived by the widow, two sons, Lawrence, Jr., of Akron, Ohio; and two daughters, Gertrude and Margaret at home.
Mr. Deeley was a member of St. Joseph's church and consistent in following its teachings throughout his life. Funeral services will be conducted by Father Biegel Monday morning at 8:30 at the church and the burial will be in the Catholic cemetery.
