Mrs. Everitt Paralyzed

New York, 1895

Jamaica Brevities.

Mrs. Elijah Everitt, of New York avenue, has been stricken with paralysis.

Mrs. Reetz died Friday morning at the residence of her son-in-law, James Peto, of apoplexy.

John Murphy had the thumb of his right hand cut off at the first joint Thursday evening while cleaning his bicycle.

Francis Weeks, of Canal street, was stricken with paralysis on Friday. Yesterday his condition was somewhat improved.

A requiem mass for the repose of the soul of the late James Pyne, of Jamaica, will be celebrated in St. Monica's Catholic church this (Thursday) morning. After the mass the Catholic Benevolent Legion will march to the cemetery and decorate the grave of the deceased.
