ho WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1919 / = FATHER O'LEARY IS PNEUMONIA VICTIM Evanston Priest, Well Known along North Shore, Had Interesting Career in Journalism, Politics and Church DEATH CAME SUDDENLY Succumbed at Hospital to Attack of Pneumonia following Influenza Funeral services for the Reverend David P. O'Leary, who died Sunday morning at St. Francis hospital of pneumonia, developing from influ- enza, were held Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock at St. Mary's church, Reverend H. P. Smyth officiating. Reverend O'Leary was born in Ev- anston in 1850, and while he was ex- tremely active for more than forty years in public life and the activities of the Catholic church, he always looked upon Evanston and the north shore as his home. Former Newspaper Man His career was an active one. In 1868, after graduating from the Uni- versity of Notre Dame, he entered newspaper work in Chicago. Finish- ing two years of journalistic work, he established a very profitable coal business in Evanston, which extend- ed: along the north shore. Though he was never a politician he was al- ways active in political matters of import. Upon the election of Grover Cleveland, he received an appoint- ment as postmaster in Evanston. That was in 1893 and during Cleve- land's term he received a reappoint- ment. Leaving the field of commercial en- deavor he began to study law, was admitted to the bar in Illinois and for several years practiced in Chi- cago. leaving a large and lucrative practice he joined the faculty of the University of Notre Dame as an in- structor. He had scarcely completed a year on the Notre Dame faculty when he was appointed president of Watertown college. Giving up this position of responsibility, Reverend O'Leary returned to his first ambi- tion, which was to study philosophy and theology. Became a Priest Twelve years ago he received his appointment as a priest to the con- gregation of the Holy Cross, Notre Dame, Ind. in which work he re- mained until three years ago, when through ill health he -vas- forced--o request a leave of absence. Return- ing to Evanston he took over the management of the O'Leary estate, consisting of property south of Cal- vary cemetery, of recent develop- ment, which was, by the will of his mother, who died shortly before he commenced studying for the priest- hood, made a trust with the Reverend O'Leary as trustee. At the same time he was acting as chaplain for the Marywood or St. Scholastica's aca- demy. To Take Body to Indiana The Reverend O'Leary was plan- ning to wind up his dffairs in Evans- ton and return to his former parish in Notre Dame, Ind., when he was taken sick. The body will be sent to Notre Dame for burial. CALL 9-B FRANKLIN THE BEST EVER MADE (By C. E. Bridges.) The Franklin automobile dealers had a convention in Chicago last week, and the universal opinion was | that the No. 9-B Franklin that we are now delivering is the best automobile | ever made by the Franklin company.

Dispensiilg with all grease cups, and using the wick oiling system is appreciated by every owner. The car charging its battery at five miles per hour instead of ten is another im- provement. The automatic cut-out takes care of any possibility of over- charge.

Did You Ever Do This? « Visitors or strangers coming into an office are often embarrassed by the discourtesy of oce employees who ignore their presence--or wait for some one else to inquire the visitor's errand. Any employee who happens to be near when a stranger enters should address him courteously and ask if he can take a message or be of assistance. The visitor's impres~ sion of the employer often is affect- ed by the attitude of the employee.--. : Biddy Bye.
