John Crean, director of St. Joseph's Home, offering the Requiem Mass, with the Rev. James E. King, pastor of St. Jos eph’s Church, Athens, assisting. Sister Raphael was born in County Mayo, Ireland, but came to this country with her parents as a child. The Mulroys settled in West Stockbridge and later in Pittsfield, Mass., and it was from the latter city that Miss Anne Mulroy came to Washington. Ga., to enter the community of the Sisters of St. Joseph’s, as Sister Mary Raphael, on the Feast of St. Joseph, March 19, 1902. The early years of Sister Raph ael’s religious life were spent at St. Joseph’s Academy, Washington, where her kind understanding and motherly sympathy endeared her to the many students who came under her supervision. After the disastrous fire in 1912, which de stroyed St. Joseph’s Academy here, Sister Raphael went to Mount St. Joseph in Augusta, where she remained until the boarding school was discontinued. She then taught for some years in the parochial schools of Savannah, Atlanta and Brunswick. The last six years of her life were spent at St. Joseph’s Home here. Although in failing health for some months, Sister Raphael was confined to bed for only a week. She is survived by two sisters, Miss Margaret Mulroy, who was with her at the time of her death, and Mrs. John O’Neill; two neph ews, Edward O’Neill and James O’Neill, and a niece Mary O’Neill, all of Pittsfield, Mass.
