M'DERMOTT, AGED 65, EXPIRES
------------------------------------------------------------
Luke
J. McDermott, 65, 661 Factory Street, died suddenly at 4:40 Monday
afternoon at the Hepburn hospital, Ogdensburg, where he underwent an
operation Feb. 6 for a kidney ailment.
Mr.
McDermott seemingly was on the road to recovery and was able to sit up
in a chair Monday for the first time since the operation. Heart trouble
is believed to have caused his death.
His
sister, Miss Mary McDermott of this city, accompanied him to the
hospital and remained with him for a week after the operation, leaving
him because he appeared to be recovering.
He
was born Jan. 10, 1870, in the town of Pinckney, Lewis county, a son of
the late Thomas and Jane Burke McDermott. He came to Watertown about 40
years ago and entered the employ of the New York Air Brake company,
where he served as an iron moulder. He was employed there for many
years.
He
was a member of the Watertown council, No 259, Knights of Columbus, and
the Moulders' union. His wife, Mrs. Mary Farmer McDermott, died about
six years ago at Central Square, where they then resided.
Surviving
him, besides his sister, are two brothers, John McDermott of
Baldwinsville and Michael McDermott of Barnes Corners.
The
body was removed to the McLellan undertaking parlors at Ogdensburg and
later was brought to the Burns Funeral home here in the Burns motor
hearse.
Funeral
services will be held at the Burns Funeral home Thursday at 9 am and a
half hour later at Holy Family church. Burial will be made in Glenwood
cemetery.

At
the Holy Family church at 8 am Tuesday took place the marriage of Mary
Isabelle Farmer, daughter of James Farmer, 62 State street, and Luke
James McDermott, also of this city. The church was beautifully decorated
for the occasion with palms, smilax and chrysanthemums. The ceremony was
performed by Ref. Father Jov. Irene Farmer, sister of the bride, acted
as bridesmaid with Joseph Conroy as best man. The bride was charmingly
costumed in a brown traveling dress, trimmed with applique and carried
white chrysanthemums. The bridesmaid wore green, with all-over lace. The
bridal couple were the recipients of many beautiful and costly, as well
as useful presents.
Mr.
and Mrs. McDermott left on the morning train for Boston on a brief
wedding trip. They will be at home to their friends after Dec. 10, at 5
High street.
The
bride was formerly a teacher at the Hamilton street school, and the
groom is a foreman at the New York Air Brake company's plant.
