later practiced privately there.
Following a term in the 1933

Third Division and for eight
years ab'y conducted that office
without, there ever being even a
breath of criticism as to laxity or

appointed; just about the time
that he and Mrs Kehoe lost ev

astrous Seward fire. Their fine
collection of~books and paintings
is irreplaceable, but upon their
return from the States within the
next few weeks they will again
establish their home there.
