  Notes	BATTCOCK, Rev. Fr. Evening Telegram September 13, 1910 (Tuesday) Sad Death of Rev. Fr. Battcock. Special to the Evening Telegram. Holyrood, To-Day. The Rev. Father Battcock - the dearly beloved parish priest of Holyrood - died suddenly at 8.30 p.m. yesterday. Father Battcock was in the best of health yesterday forenoon, said his morning Mass as usual, and went for a drive with some visiting friends to the South Side in the afternoon. During the drive he was seized with a severe pain in the heart, and returned home in less than an hour. While resting on the couch he had some severe attacks; but afterwards sufficiently rallied to take some tea and chat pleasantly with his guests. He even accompanied his visitors halfway to join the train, walking and talking pleasantly. Returning home the pain again became severe and he went to bed. Not long afterwards he fell into the sleep of death. The Rev. Father Sheehan and Dr. Jones were called, but death had claimed its victim. The suddenness of the death of the dearly beloved Priest has stricken the community with deep sorrow, and everyone mourns the loss of one of the best and kindest of Priests and a generous and noble-hearted gentleman. The Rev. Fr. Battcock has laboured acceptably and successfully in the missions of King's Cove, Bay-de-Verde, Holyrood, St. Brendan's, Gambo, and Holyrood the second time, in all of which places he was the Saggarth Aroon. But he has gone to receive the reward of the faithful steward. His relatives and people have our warmest sympathy.
