ALFRED McNAMARA

At 11 o'clock last night, Alfred McNAMARA passed away after an illness of two weeks. Mr. McNAMARA was one of the best known of the business men of Water Street, where for the past thirty years he had conducted a jewellery business, which is well known throughout the country. Some fifteen years ago he visited Philadelphia and there obtained a first class diploma for engraving; and also qualified for a diploma in optometry, practicing these two professions, thereafter, in connection with his jewellery establishment. For upwards of thirty years Mr. McNAMARA was a prominent figure at the local regatta, where he filled the position of chief time keeper. No athletic event appealed to him without meeting willing response. His services were readily given as timekeeper or in any capacity wherein he could render assistance. As a business man Mr. McNAMARA customers were invariable his friends. His genial smile and cordiality will be recalled by thousands in the Island when the story of his passing is told. He was educated at the Christians Brothers Schools and amongst the many who will hear with sorrow of his death, will be those who were his comrades in the days of boyhood and youth. Three brothers predeceased him, the Rev. Father James McNAMARA, of Burin; John of the Customs, and Joseph of New York. The immediate family circle, now mourning their great loss include his widow, formerly Miss May LYNCH, daughter of Mr. Michael LYNCH, two sons and two daughters; one sister, Mrs. Aiden O'DRISCOLL, and one brother, Hon. Frank McNAMARA. The funeral will take place from his late residence, Robinson's Hill, on tomorrow afternoon at 2.30 o'clock.

An Ancestry hint revealed the particulars of Alfred McNamara's travel to the US to obtain the qualifications mentioned in his obituary -- engraving and optometry. He sailed from St. John's to New York on board the S.S. SILVIA on March 4, 1908. In the ship's manifest it notes as his next of kin, Mrs. A. McNamara of 17 Garrison Hill, St. John's. But oddly it also shows that he was accompanied by Molly McNamara whose next of kin is listed as Mr. Francis McNamara of 15 Garrison Hill, St. John's. This would have been a niece, but why she was travelling with him is unclear as she was only 8 years old. Also, I have no record of a daughter of Francis McNamara born in 1900. The closest would be Victoria Mary McNamara (later Sister Mary Ursula) who was born in 1897. It seems unlikely that there would have been a three year discrepancy on her age on a ship's manifest but that appears to have been the case. I think that she may have been in ill health and travelled with her uncle for medical attention in the US. This is pure speculation but I cannot put together any better explanation for these limited facts.
