          Timothy Killoren, one of this city’s well known and aged residents, passed away at the home of his daughter,  Mrs. Frank [Ella] Flaitz, of 87 North Noble street, at four o’clock Thursday afternoon.  The end came following an illness that had kept him confined to his bed since last November.  The immediate cause of his death was heart trouble, which developed in connection with a number of other ailments.  Mr. Killoren was aged eighty years and had been a resident of this city for the past forty-eight years.  He was united in marriage to  Miss Bridget Tighe  fifty seven years ago.  She answered the final summons sixteen years before the call came for her aged companion.  To this union four children were born.  Two of them died when they were small.  Besides the daughter, Mr. Killoren leaves a son, Owen W. Killoren, of 279 West Broadway.  There are also nine grandchildren.
          Mr. Killoren was a faithful member of St. Joseph’s Catholic church and was a regular attendant at all the services so long as his health would permit.  He was held in high esteem by all who knew him and his friends were many.
          The funeral services will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church at nine o’clock Saturday morning, Rev. Father Ketter officiating, and interment will be made in St. Joseph Catholic cemetery, in charge of Stewart & Fix.  The casket will be open at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Flaitz this evening from 7 to 8 o’clock and from 7 to 8 o’clock Saturday morning.
