Friday, July 15, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 28 Two Hundred Carriages, Loretto, July 8: The funeral of Philip Noon who was killed at Carrolltown Tuesday by being struck by lightning while at work was held in St. Michael's Catholic church here today. It was one of the largest funerals in the north of the county in years, over 200 carriages being in the cortege. The solemn high mass celebration at the church was most impressive and the edifice was crowded to the doors. The Rev. Father M. D. Kittell was the celebrant. Father Dessey of Gallitzin acted as deacon; Father Quinn of St. Augustine, sub-deacon, and Father Boley of California, now visiting fiends in this section, was master of ceremonies. Father Kittell preached the sermon, dwelling earnestly on the character of the deceased and the high regard in which he was held. Interment was made in the cemetery adjoining the church.
