James Mack, a well known resident of this city, died yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock at his home, 10 High Street, aged 59 years. He had been in failing health for two or three years and his death was the result of a general breaking down.
Mr. Mack was born in Ireland, but came to this country when young, and after living in Pennsylvania for some years he came to this city in the tunnel days with B.N. Farren, the contractor who did the arching on the west portal, and worked for a long time under him as foreman. For some years past he had done any regular business. He continued to live in this city until his death, and was one of it's well known and respected residents. He was a good Neighbor and friend, and will be kindly remembered by those who knew him. He was one of the old tunnel force, most of whom are gone, and his name was therefore identified with the greatest work ever done in this part of the country, and one of the greatest of the kind in the world.
Mr. Mack leaves a widow, two sons John H, and James Mack and four daughters Mrs Margaret Lewis, and Mary, Catherine, and Libbie Mack all of this city.
