The "Roscommon Herald," of July
4, reports the death of Mrs. Mary Sloan,
of Boyle, Ireland. The deceased lady
was a sister of Mr. T. Hicks McLean, a
Northcote resident of 25 years' standing,
and mayor of the municipality for two
years in succession. Speaking of the
late lady the "Herald' says:-" Mrs.
Sloan, ,who .belonged to an old and
respected Roscommon family, was the
daughter of the late Mr. S. McLean,
Boyle, whose name is treasured and
honored in the history of the old town,
was of an extremely charitable nature,
and was foremost in every movement
which tended for the uplifting of the
community. Coupled with her esteemed
husband, son and daughter, she did,
throughout her life in Boyle, acts of
charity and goodness which stand on
record, and earned for herself in the
affection of the people a monument more
enduring than brass." Many wreaths
were received from townsmen and
public institutions of Boyle, and the
remains were interred in Assylinn
cemetery in the presence of a very large
gathering of prominent citizens.
