SERVICE MAN’S TRIBUTE
TO K. OF C. SECRETARY
Untimely Death of John B.
Corcoran at Augusta La
mented at Lenwood.
A. A. BENEDETTO AGAIN
MACON GRAND KNIGHT
J. J. McCreary Named De
puty Grand Knight—Coun
cil to Parade September 12
From The Augusta, Ga., Herald.
J. B. Corcoran, who drowned re
cently at the Plunkctt-Wilkinson
bathing pond,, was a great favorite
witli the patients at Lenwood Hos
pital, where he served as secretary
of the Knights of Columbus and
in many other capacities. The fol
lowing tribute to his memory was
written by a Lenwood patient.
“In the death of Mr. Corcoran,
the patients of the Veteran’s Hos
pital No. 62, Augusta, Georgia, felt
a personal loss of a dear and true
friend who was always ready with
a kind word, a smiling face and a
helping hand to all alike. He was
noted for his acts of kindness to
all the Patients, and he proved by
his actions that he was always in
terested in the ex-service nun. In
deed, wc feel that the loss of this
friend can never he replaced here,
and in the years to come, the work
that he did here will always remain
fresh in the memory of all the
patients.
“Mr. Corcoran was secretary of
the Knights of Columbus, physical
director and captain of our baseball!
team. Every clay he made trips to
the wards and distributed cigarettes,
chewing gum, candy, chewing tobac
co, combs, tooth brushes and a
cheerful word to all. lie has been
called to a higher work hut the
good work that he did here will
never be forgotten. Would that it
were in our power- to eulogize this
friend in a manner more fitting, hut
the writer of these lines feels that
his vocabulary is not complete
enough to do justice to the life
work of Mr. Corcoran.
Of tl]is man it can ho truly said
his untimely death. He is missed
now but in the weeks to come and
the years to follow, we will miss
“Jack” more and more. His smiling
face is seen no more kind words
fn:m smiling lips arc 1* ard no
more, but in our memories are in
delibly engraved the kind words
that be has spoken to us and when
the kind Father above writes FINIS
to this world of ours, we hope that
in the world to come we willl clasp
once again the hand of our departed
Buddy.’*
