Show PARK CITY. Death of Mrs. Maggie McQivern, Burial at Salt Lake. (Special Correspondence.) Drhth at all times is sad, but it is exremely sorrowful when it enters the home and robs it of some"beloved one in the flower of youth, and when the cup of happiness seemed full. Such was the case on Aus". 22, when the happy home of Mr. John McGivern was visited and the young wife and mother was stricken down in all the freshness of youth, and when life seemed to bestow its greatest happiness upon her that of motherhood. Mrs. Maggie McGivern was the daughter of Mrs. P. Leahy, and was born and raised in Park City, and educated edu-cated at St. Mary's school. She was just 21 years old. By her bright and happy disposition she made hosts of friends, who now mourn her untimely end. Mrs. McGivern was buried in her bridal dress, worn less than a year ago, when she was led to the altar by Mr. McGivern -and made one of the happiest hap-piest of brides, and as our eyes rested upon her in her beautiful white casket we could not help saying: "The ways of Divine Providence are beyond all human understanding." 1 The funeral services were held at St. Mary's Catholic church on Sunday morning at 6 a. m., when mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Galligan. After mass the Rev. Father paid a glowing tribute to the deceased, whom he had known since childhood. He said she was a loving daughter, a devoted de-voted fe and a loving sister. After the serrices the remains were carried to the Uio Grande Western depot. where a special train was waiting to convey them to Salt Lake. The funeral cortege was met at the station in Salt Lake by Rev. Father Kiely, V. G., an old-time friend of the family, who accompanied the remains to Mt. Olivet cemetery, and officiated at the grave, after which the remains were tenderly laid to rest beside those of her father. The deceased leaves a husband, an Infant daughter fifteen days old, a mother, three brothers and two sisters sis-ters to mourn her sad demise, besides Innumerable friends, who, for many a day, will miss from their midst her bright smile and sunny disposition. May her soul rest in peace. A. 0. H. Convention. The biennial state convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, held here ! on the 20th inst., convened at 7 p. m. in Society hall.
