Archie C. Healy, one of Norwood’s most prominent business men for 45 years, died at his home at 25 Prospect street Friday evening, following a cerebral hemorrhage early the same day.

Mr. Healy was born in Potsdam, a son of John and Theresa Campbell Healy. When he was 21 years of age he went to Norwood and with his uncle, the late John Joy, opened a jewelry and optical store.

Mr. Healy was a member of the Knights of Columbus council and St. Andrew’s Catholic church and had for some time been a member of the directors of Calvary cemetery.

Surviving are his wife, the former Gertrude Smith of Norwood and one daughter, Miss Hilda Healy, a teacher in the Massena schools.

The funeral was held from St. Andrew’s church Monday morning at 10 o’clock, Rev. James E. Joy officiating assisted by Rev. Fr. T. Holland of Massena acting deacon, Rev. Fr. R. Fitzpatrick of Faust, sub-deacon and Rev. Fr. A. J. Farrell of Norfolk, master of ceremonies. Burial was made in Calvary cemetery, Norwood.
