Regret was expressed throughout the community Thursday morn. last when the announcement was made that Patrick CULLINEN was dead. For some time Mr. Cullinen had been suffering from a complication of diseases, but it was only a short time before his death that he was confined to his bed. His death was directly due to the effects of an attack of la grippe. Born in Tyrone, Ireland in 1828, he came with his parents to St. John in 1831. There he was educated in the schools of the city, after which he entered the employment of Messrs. Doherty & McTavish, dry goods merchants. In 1846 he came to St. Stephen in company with his brother Hugh CULLINEN to manange a branch store which the firm had established here and which was known as the Golden Fleece. Under their management the branch was very successful until 1850. The old firm decided to retire from active business when the two brothers Cullinen formed a partnership and purchased the stock of the Golden Fleece. The business was carried on for a number of years under the firm name of H.& P. Cullinen. Through the kindness of their old employers they were introduced to leading wholesale firms in England, Scotland, Ireland and France and to this the Messrs. Cullinen attributed much of the success which they afterwards achieved. In the interest of the firm, the deceased crossed the Atlantic more than fifty times. They established a branch of their business in Woodstock which was successfully carried on until about five years ago when they sold out. They accumulated wealth very rapidly until they were reported among the wealthiest men on the St. Croix. Latterly changed in business rendered necessary a dissolution in partnership so long carried on by the brothers and since then Hugh Cullinen has done business at the old stand and the deceased has been engaged in business in the Waddell block. In 1873 Mr. Cullinen was married to Miss Alice WADDELL d/o late James WADDELL and she with two sons, Frank CULLINEN and Joseph CULLINEN survive him. The remaining members of his family surviving are his brothers, Messrs. Hugh and James Cullinen. The funeral took place Saturday morn., high requiem mass being said in the Church of the Holy Rosary.
