John S. Kerrigan Succumbs to Illness

Funeral services will be held this morning in San Francisco over the remains of John S. Kerrigan, for years a well known resident of San Rafael, who passed away Monday at the home of his brother, Philip I.(?) Kerrigan.

He was born in Liverpool, England, 43 years ago, and was a brother of William R., Philip J. Kerrigan and the late Sadie Syres (?).

The service will be held at 9:30 this morning at the residence of his brother, Philip Kerrigan, and later at St. Paul’s church, where a requiem high mass will be celebrated. Interment will be made at Holy Cross cemetery, San Mateo county.
