Timothy O'Maher

AGED 79 YRS 6 MOS

A correspondent of the Journal writes that Timothy O'Maher, who has been the chief clerk and manager of the Cadet Commissary at the United States Military Academy of West Point for the last fifty-five years, died last night, aged seventy-nine years. He has ever been noted for the scrupulous manner of the conduct of this important department of the public service, and the exactness of his accounts of the enormous amount of the transactions over which he had charge for so long a period of time. He was the father-in-law of General Quincy Gilmore, who has been very attentive to him up to his last moments, and his children being his only heirs the supposed large estate passes into their hands. Mr O'Maher lost his voice two years ago and was unable to speak above a whisper; since which time he has failed of his former vigor and gradually sunk, without any special disease, until the hour of his final dissolution.
