MICHAEL F. DONAHUE    Michael F. Donahue passed away last week at Los Angeles, Cal., where he had gone three weeks previous for his health. He had been ailing for over a year, and that had been his second trip to California. He had been a resident of this city for over 12 years. He is survived by three brothers, John, Dennis, and Jeremiah, and two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Riley and Mrs. Katharine Scanlon. He had been employed several years in the car repair shop at the Clarendon Hill stables of the Elevated.    The body was brought to this city and the funeral took place from the residence of his brother, Dennis Donahue, 3 Yorktown court, Thursday morning. A high mass of requiem was celebrated at St. John's church at 9 o'clock. Rev. Wm. Murphy officiated. The pallbearers were Michael Carney, Patrick O'Brien, Timothy Crowley, John McCarthy, Michael Woods and John Riley. There were many beautiful floral tributes. Interment was in St. Paul's cemtery, Arlington.

Mrs. T. F. McNamara, of Upland road, is recovering from an attack of the grip.    The choir of St. John's church is rehearsing Kurnin's mass for Easter Sunday, under the direction of Miss Katharine White, organist.    Rev. Fr. George O'Connor, of Malden, delivered the weekly lenten sermon at St. John's Catholic church, Wednesday evening.    Work on the foundation of David E. Lonergan's new block at the Junction has been begun and Mr. Lonergan expects to have the stores ready for occupancy within two months.    Miss Alice Gallagher, of Yorktown court, is convalescing from an attack of pneumonia.

The Evening News of Woburn, 19 March 1909

Edward F. Ahearn Struck By Team    Edward F. Ahearn of 113 Main street, this city, was knocked down and run over by a team while hurrying for his car at Winthrop Square, Medford, early last evening.    Mr. Ahearn had just alighted from a Malden car and when he saw the Woburn car waiting he started to run for it and was knocked down by a team which he had not noticed.    He was removed to the Medford police station where a physician stitched a wound in his head. He received a severe shaking up, in addition to the cut on the head, but after a short while he was able to return home by car.

Soloists Chosen Who Will Take Part in South End Club Minstrels    At the rehearsal last evening of the minstrel show to be given by the South End Social Club on Monday evening, April 26, the following soloists were chosen; Miss Margaret Cassidy, Miss Katherine Weafer [sic] and Miss Margaret Connors.    The end songs will be taken care of by John Mahoney, Roland Gillis, William O'Brien and Dennis Conlon.    The dummy end men are Charles McGourty, Joseph Rooney, Edward McLaughlin, and Charles Hunnewell.    Novelties never before seen will be introduced in the opening of the show and it is now safe to say that this year's performance will surpass any of the shows yet given by the club. There is a large amount of good talent to be found among the club members and many new ones will make their first appearance before the footlights on that evening.    As usual Miss Katherine McGann is handling the musical end of it.

DEATH OF EDDIE CONLEY    Eddie Conley, the old time lightweight pugilist, died Monday at the Rutland sanatorium. Conley was born in Roxbury in 1871, but lived in this city the greater part of his life. CHINESE IN PULPIT    David Yui, a student at the Episcopal Theological school, and son of a priest of the Anglican church in China, occupied the pulpit in St. Peter's Episcopal church at the service Sunday morning, and spoke on the “Christianization of China.” He said that the introduction of the gospel into the country had been a great thing. The antipathy toward the civilized population, which was on the increase in the country, had subsided in a large degree he said. The country is in a plastic condition, wherein it is capable of being moulded if proper work is done there. The Chinese are desirous of having their young men attend the Christian churches and schools, and even pray that they may attend the latter, regardless of the fact that the Chinese schools are free.    He said that now is the time to Christianize the country, while it is in its present state, and that it should be done at once, for with the great population which it possesses, unless it is Christianized, it promises to be a great menace to the world at large.
