Mrs. Julia Cotter, pioneer of the west and an old resident of Butte, died Monday Mon-day night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jerry Mahoney, 318 East Granite street, of Bright's disease. Besides the daughter at whose home she died. Mrs. Cotter is survived by two other daughters, daugh-ters, Mrs. John Layton, 50 East Granite Gran-ite street, and Mrs. Steve Parker of 64S South Wyoming street. Mrs. Cotter was born in Ireland seventy years ago. In 1864 she came to Virginia City, New, later moving to Utah, where she resided until 1888, when she came to Butte. She was an estimable lady, held in high esteem es-teem by the many who were fortunate enough to enjoy her friendship. Her death culminated a long illness and a life marked by many good deeds. Grieving over the death of his brother, broth-er, who was buried last Tuesday. Thomas Thom-as Lannon, one of the most respected and best liked miners in Butte, died suddenly last night from heart trouble. the same affliction which caused the death of his brother, Jim, less than a week ago. Death occurred at a local hospital, and was probably due as much to intense grief as anything else. Three Lannon brothers came to Butte nineteen nine-teen years ago from Australia. .All secured se-cured employment in the mines, and by their many sterling qualities soon made hosts of friends. In 1S95 Pat, the eldest, died. His death seemed to cement the fraternal feeling between Thomas and Jim more strongly, and the two were always seen together, so much so, in fact, that their close companionship was the subject of comment on the part of many of their friends. Both were known as honest, hardworking and temperate miners, and they soon had the respect of all who knew them. Last week when Jim died It was apparent that Thomas was grlefstricken, and a few hours after the funeral he complained com-plained of feeling ill, and was removed to the hospital. He gradually grew worse, his grief becoming apparently more intensified from day to day until the end last night. He is survived by three brothers in Ireland, one of them Father John Lannon. a priest in the city of Waterford, several sisters and a father, also living in Ireland. The funeral will be held Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock from the home of Mrs. Agnes Ag-nes Tallon, 240 East Broadway, proceeding proceed-ing to the Sacred Heart church, where high mass will be celebrated.
