    More details here - theirishrevolution.ie/1921-21/#.XA-OtVAvPnE "... The funeral ceremonies for Armstrong-Holmes were complex and impressive: ‘The body of Major Holmes was removed from Cork Military Hospital yesterday [31 January 1921] and conveyed to Dublin by the morning train. Full military honours were accorded, and a large number of military and police accompanied the remains to Glanmire Station, where a military band played the “Dead March.” The funeral takes place to-day with full military honours from George V Hospital at 11 a.m. to Mount Jerome Cemetery.’ See II, 1 Feb. 1921. ..."

Sullivan Funeral (LOC)

    Not "Big Tim" Sullivan's funeral again? That was in September 1913 www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/tags/bigtimsull... NYT of Sept 20, 1914 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E00E4D6123EE733A... reports on the September 19, 1914 funeral of "Jim" Sullivan, James E. Sullivan, known as the "Leader of American Athletics." The service was at St. Aloysius's Church, 132nd St. and Seventh Avenue. "The streets were lined with schoolboys practically the entire way."

    The church is still there. Google street view finds it and picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/tYn4A1SQ50AjIhdl9hPypw is a 2008 picture.
  • Art Siegel said:
    Not "Little Tim's" funeral, either, another Sullivan funeral temporary conundrum. As noted by Swanq, this is James Edward Sullivan en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Edward_Sullivan . Here is the Tribune's account of the funeral pictured in this and succeeding Bain pictures, noting that Sullivan founded the Public Schools Athletic League and that 28 of the city's most prominent men served as pallbearers: chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1914-09-20/ed-...

    James Edward Sullivan (November 18, 1862 – September 16, 1914) was an Irish American sports official. He was one of the founders of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) in 1888, serving as its secretary from 1889 until 1906 when he was elected as president from 1906 to 1909. He declined a fourth term and was re-elected to his former position as secretary-treasurer until his sudden death which followed an emergency operation. Sullivan also served as the chairman of the Greater New York Irish Athletic Association in 1903 and on the New York City Board of Education from 1908 to 1912. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Edward_Sullivan Between fifty and sixty thousand boys, members of the Public Schools Athletic League, an organization originated and fostered by the late James E. Sullivan, will line the route to be taken by the funeral procession when the athletic leader's body is conveyed from his home, 540 West 114th Street, tomorrow morning to the Catholic Church of St. Aloyslus, 132d Street and Seventh Avenue, where a solemn high mass of requiem will be celebrated. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F0081EFA3D5C1373... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Aloysius_Gonzaga%27s_Church_(Ne...
