The Pearson brothers regret to announce the passing of John O'Niel, a long timer worker at the Pearson docks who was one of the first to join the two brothers in their enterprise.

John was a veteran of the legendary Fenian Raids in the 1860's and was loved by all who worked with him and under him. He is survived by his wife, two children and his grandchild.

The funeral was held at a local cemetery near the Pearson Dockyards and was attended by over 500 attendes. A 12 gun salute was also fired by fellow veteran of the Fenian Raids to salute their comrade passing on.

The Pearsons gave their workers two days off to mourn the passing of their dear friend. The Pearsons also invite any and all to donate to the ACRI in memory of John to help build schools and a hospital in rural Ireland.

An official statement has been sent out by the Head of the New York City Special Investigation Bureau.
