So what I'll do is get death dates for both. Then check local papers for obituaries for any indication of Celtic involvement. Any other info from either relative was also be great Here goes! |

I don't really know anymore than what has already been posted from the Old Glasgow Pubs link, but you seem to be making great headway with what you already have. Hopefully there is an old obituary in the Observer which might relate to Celtic although I'm not sure his involvement went beyond the subscription. Thanks again |

Brewster It seems as though your relative was quite the man, this obit wasnt in the standard b/d/m section but had a full column all to himself. All the 'names' are in attendance. Glasgow Observer, 07/10/1905 OBITUARY - MR THOMAS McCORMICK A familiar figure in Catholic circles in Glasgow has passed away with the death of Mr Thomas McCormick. The sad event occurred on Saturday morning at his residence, 354a Duke Street, Dennistoun. Deceased who was 59 years of age had been in ill-health since last November. He was removed to St. Elizabeth House, where Sir Hector Cameron performed an operation for sarcoma. The operation proved successful, but Mr McCormick never recovered his strength. Since June last he was confined to bed, and though Professor Munro, of the royal Infirmary, and Dr. Dunlop were in constant attendance, their patient never rallied. Canon Dyer and Father Brotherhood were in attendance and administered all the consolations of religion, while Sisters from Whitevale Refuge and the Franciscan Convent assisted Mrs McCormick as nurses. A native of Mallaghboy, near Newtownbutler, Co Fermanagh, deceased came to Glasgow 39 years ago. Beyond the various merchants’ associations, of which he was a member, Mr McCormick did not take any active part in public life, but was a well-known figure at the various Catholic and Irish social functions in Glasgow, particularly the Fermanagh Conversazione, of which he was one of the founders. He was also an hon member of the Celtic F.C. and Branch O’Connell, Irish National Foresters. He was also an honorary member of the Caledonian Catholic Association, and was a member of St Mary’s congregation since he came to the city. He took an active interest in the Children’s annual outing. Much sympathy will be felt for Mrs McCormick and family in the sad loss they have sustained.-R.I.P. The funeral took place form St. Mary’s Church, Abercromby Street, on Tuesday. Requiem Mass was celebrated at 11.30 a.m., the officiating Priest being Very Rev. Canon Dyer. In addition to the mourners a large number of the general public were inside the Church. During Mass the Gregorian Chant was rendered by a choir consisting of Messrs H. Donnelly (conductor), R. Gallougher, C. J. Brindle, J. McCann, M. Docherty, M. O’Hora, D. Murray, and Jas. McGrath. Mr Percy Byatt presided at the organ. After Mass the remains were removed to the hearse from the Church, while the impressive strains of the “Dead March” reverberated through the sacred edifice. The cortege proceeded Dalbeth by way of Abercomby Street and Gallowgate, numerous shops on the route between Bellgrove and Whitevale being closed as a token of respect. The arrangements were in the hands of Messrs Henderson, LTD, and were admirably carried out under the supervision of Mr. Wilson and Mr Brennan. In addition to the 34 coaches supplied by them, half a dozen private conveyances were in attendance. At the cemetery the prayer for the departed soul were read by Very Rev. Canon Dyer. The chief mourners were Messrs. Thomas, James, William, John, and Hugh McCormick, sons and ; Michael McCorMick, Brother ; Thomas McGuire and Francis Murphy, sons-in-law ; Thomas McAulay, Brother-in-law ; James McCorMick, nephew.
