Diedrich's & Sons, where he worked until about the first of July, when failing health compelled him to give up his work. Since leaving the store he has been confined to his home and bed most of the time, until death relieved him of his sufferings. To show the esteem in which in which he was held by G. Diedrich's & Sons, that firm has paid him his salary ever since he left the store, which was a most generous act on their part. Harry Duffy was a young man well liked and held in the highest esteem by all his friends.
