On Wednesday, May 11, 1904, at Fort Myer, Va., Mrs. B. Drennan, widow of the late Ordnance Sergeant Patrick Drennan. Funeral took place this (Thursday) morning at 10 o'clock from St. George's chapel, Fort Myer. Interment at Arlington. Behind this plain announcement lies a story simple and tragic as the priambimal attributes of mother-lovweave tion and gratified pride can from the commonplace conditions of life, says the Washington Times. No announcement is made of the fact, but It Is known that the cause of Mrs. Dren nan's death waa Joy Joy in g the fulfillment of a ambition; Joy at the elevation of her son, by 'the word of the president of the United States, to a position vastly above that which his father had been able to obtain after a lifetime of faithful service; Joy at the prospect of an honorable career, steady advancement and honorable retirement of her dearest boy. Sunday morning the president announced his appointments of cadets to the military academy at West Point Among the namea was that of Jeremiah A. Drennan, son of the late Ordnance Sergean Patrick Brennan. Wednesday morning at ( o'clock Bertha Drennan died. The diagnosis of the physician was heart failure, superinduced by emotional excitement She was the widow of Patrlc Drennan, and the mother of Toung Jeremiah. Patrick Drennan's career In the army Is of the kind that offlcerii are wont to point out as typical of the American private. He enlisted May 1, 1868, at St Louis, Mo., and by the .end of his first enlistment he had risen to the rank of sergeant. He imand by the end mediately of the second term he was a first sergeant. Thus It went for twenty-fou- r years, all of which time he spent with the Eighth cavalry, endearing himself to his superior officers, and winning excellent character discharges. In 189S, as a reward for his faithfulness and ability, he was made ordnance sergenat, and attached to Fort till his Myer, where he continued e, life-lon- t A 'f I V. 4 ; death, from pneumonia, April IS, 1901. Perhaps the death of no enlisted man was ever more sincerely regretted at the post. The widow and her several children continued to. reside Just outside the reservation. Since her government husband's death, however, her health has been very precarious. The woman who had shared the discomforts, and Joys of frontier posts with a man for thirty years was not to recover lightly from the separation. Then it was that some of the officers who had been interested in Sergenat Drennan began to take an equal interest In the handsome, bright, well-bui- lt boy, Jerry, seventeen years of age. The mother learned they had asked his appointment to West Point, Just as sons of officers are pressed for such appointment. To her this meant more, perhaps than can be realised by civilians. She appreciated the kindness of the efforts, but she hardly dared hope for the selection of her boy for this career. She knew he was bright, manbut there were so many ly, well-buiothers with greater claim, no many other who supposedly had greater "pull." No, It was never to be. Then came the announcement and lt, 4 ' rf . i Jerry's name was among, the rest When the mother learned of this she suffered a collapse. The doctor who was called found her heart action greatly disturbed. But instead of complaint from the sufferer, there was nothing but gladness and Joy Joy almost too great for expression. Her boy, her's and Patrick's, was to be an army officer. His career was settled. There remained but the examinations to pass, and there was little doubt of the result. The happiness was too great. Medical aid was unavailing. The proud and happy heart could not stand the strain, and broke for Joy. It was a touching ceremony which Chaplain Pierce was called upon to perform In St. George's chnpel, of the fort, yesterday afternoon. He 'had burled the husband. He had forwarded the boy's claim to an appointment. He had now to bury the mother. But, as he and other officers have thought, perhaps it were as well to die of Joy and gratified ambition, as from any other cause Imaginable. AMERICAN CITIZEN.
