LATE SISTER MARY CASEY.

The funeral of the late Sister Mary Brendan Casey, who died at the Presentation Convent, Launceston, on Wednesday morning, took place yesterday morning.  A Requiem Mass, which was attended by all the children of the Roman Catholic Schools, as well as a goodly proportion of adults, was held in the Church of the Apostles at 9 a.m.  The Mass was said by the Very Rev. Dean Hennessy, P.P., who also made appreciative reference to the work of the deceased, who, at the time she was over-
taken by illness, was in charge of St. Mary's School.  She had, said the Dean, been on the teaching staff at Launceston, Hobart, and Longford, and was beloved by the other sisters as well as the children.  The late Sister Casey, who was 43 years, of age, was also a very capable woman, and her place as head of St. Mary's School, would be hard to fill.  Her demise was all the more sad as she was tho second sister lost by death In a week.  The visiting priests were the Verv Rev. Denis Murphy (Bishop Capitular, Hobart), Rev. Fathers Kent (Hobart), Monaghan (Deloraine), O'Donnell (New Norfolk), Fitzpatrick (St. Marys) Fitzgerald (Derby), Dowling (Ulverstone), and Barry (Oatlands).  After the Mass the interment took place at Carr Villa Cemetery, where Dean Hennessy officiated at the grave.
The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. Arthur Doolan.

OBITUARY  Sister Mary Aloysius O'Sullivan

There died at the Presentation Convent, Launceston, on Monday morning Sister Mary Aloysius O'sullivan.  She underwent a very serious operation in  December last, and for a short time afterwards there was every reason to hope that she would recover her health, but in April tho disease again made its appearance, and her case was pronounced hopeless.  Notwithstanding this, Sister M. Aloysius kept up her usual bright spirits, and hoped against hope until a few weeks ago, when her strength began to fall rapidly.  During the past fortnight she sutfered a great deal, and her death was a happy release for her.
The deceased nun was the daughter of the late Patrick and Margaret O'Sullivan, of Bantry, County Cork, Ireland.
She leaves two brothers, Messrs. P. and C. O'Sullivan, of Bantry, and two sisters, Mrs. McAdoo, of Cork City, and Sister M. Cecelia, of the Presentation Academy, Aberdeen, Dakota, U.S.A.
Sister M. Aloysius came to Tasmania In, 1893 with the late Archdeacon Bechlnor, and made her religious profession in St. Mary's Cathedral, Hobart, in 1895.
In 1900 she was sent from Hobart to join- the Presentation community, then established in Queenstown.  Here she laboured for a few years, and then returned to Hobart, where, In 1905, she was made Superioress of St. Mary's Convent.  In 1911 she removed to Launceston, and here she carried out duties until a few months ago. She was beloved by all who came In contact with her, for from her great heart there flowed a constant stream of charity and cheerfulness to all those around her. She was an indefatigable worker, and wherever she worked her bright smile shed sunshine on the little ones, whose affections she won, while she never lost an opportunity  of instilling into their young hearts lessons of solid piety.
