Virginia City Sunday, January 17, 1892 At room and completed the
stringing up and fixing up of the old violin. At 4:30 PM, having got her
in 1st class tune, with Billy Brady the colored janitor of this Douglass
Building I struck out on the first tune I have played on that old violin
for about 43 years, as I left home on the 18th of March 1849
Virginia City Sunday March 6, 1892 At 3 I attended funeral of John T.
Brady, commenced at hall of Comstock Council No. 1, O.C.F. (Order of
Chosen Friends) of which he was a member, in Odd Fellows Building about
2 PM. After usual ceremonies of the Order were over, procession, headed
by 50 or 60 C.F.’s and others on foot, including about a dozen lady
C.F.’s passed thence down to the Catholic church, where the religious
part of the ceremonies were conducted by Rev. Father Lynch. About 3 PM
the procession, in same order passed up Taylor and out C St. to the
Catholic cemetery, 70 carriages following the hearse. I rode with Bob
Patterson and daughter Elva and Sol Noel. At the closing of Father
Lynch’s ceremonies a shovelfull of earth was handed to him by undertaker
which he threw down upon the coffin. Then each of the Chosen Friends
having a small sprig of evergreen, about a dozen were cast into the
grave, as is usual with most Orders, when Father Lynch abruptly raised
his hand exclaiming loudly: "Stop! We don’t allow that here. This ground
is consecrated to the Cross." Then, addressing George Thomas, the CC of
the CF’s he said: "The Chosen Friends shall never enter this ground
again as a body. I wish it distinctly understood that they shall never
enter this ground again as a body. There are no more ceremonies to be
performed here: the performance is over". Then turning again to Mr.
Thomas, he said in a lower tone of voice: "You knew better than this"
Mr. Thomas replied: "Father Lynch, if there was anything wrong, it was a
misunderstanding and I hope to be excused" Father Lynch replied: "We
excuse nothing." Col. Robt Patterson, standing near, said: "Father Lynch
I wouldn't have spoken as you did. They meant no wrong. You should have
warned or instructed them beforehand. It would have been much better to
have passed this little mistake over quietly and said nothing to them at
this time." Father Lynch made no reply, the filling of the grave was
proceeded with, and everybody dispersed.
