( died August 20, 1900)

Last week Thursday the remains of Mr. Frank Carney were brought from Frankfort, N.Y. to Norwood and interred in the new Catholic Cemetery located at the south end of Morgan St., by the side of his mother. The particulars of Mr. Carney’s death are quite peculiar. He had been in poor health for some time. Although quite feeble he had been in the habit of walking out considerable. Last week Monday while walking on the bank of the canal he either tripped or made a misstep and fell into the water. He was taken out at once, but was dead when raised from the water, in which he did not sink below the surface. It is believed his death was caused by the shock of his fall and was instantaneous. Mr. Carney was a brother of Mrs. P. H. McCarthy, of Norwood.
