DEATHS AND FUNERALS
EDWARD MCCRUDDEN
The funeral of Edward McCrudden, whose death occurred at 6 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, was held from St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. Father Murphy conducted the services and interment was in the family lot at St. Joseph's Cemetery. The following served as pallbearers: John Murphy, Pat Cassidy, John Gillispie, John McBrearty, Joe Thomas and Pat McNeils.
Edward's brother John is also buried in the family lot, as is his niece Mary A. Gallagher. John McBrearty, one of Edward's pallbearers, was written about a few days ago. John (d. 1961) is buried in a lot across from Edward McCrudden. As stated above, all are in the St. Joseph's Catholic section of Rose Hill Cemetery.
The pallbearer listed as Pat McNeils was actually my grandfather, Patrick Gallagher McNelis, a very long-time Macon resident. He is buried in the McNelis-Cassidy plot a few hundred feet from the grave of Mr, McCrudden. He, too, was an Irish immigrant from Donegal. John P. Hess,MD
