-HOME Gavigan Passes at 95, Ending 70 Years of Marriage More than 70 years of happy married life ended for the James Gavigans of Hamlin yesterday the only way such a marriage could end. Mr. Gavigan 25 in the same he had moved bride back in the former Bridget Craig, was with him at the end. In all the intervening years this pair was never apart for more than a week. On that farm they raised their two children and, after his mother died, their grandson, a third-generation James died at the age of white farm house into with his new 1882.

And his bride, JAMES GAVIGAN JAMES GAVIGAN Gavigan. Mr. Gavigan was born in what had only five years before his birth had become the Town of Hamlin. Until his marriage, he lived just 4 miles from the house in which he died. After he married the Irish-born Bridget Craig on Dec.

27, 1882, they spent a week in Rochester. A little more than 10 years later they traveled to Chicago for the World's Fair, but that is the only time they ever found to roam. Operating his farm required all the time James Gavigan had, he found, and what little leisure there was, he preferred to spend at home. That home, more than 30 years old when they moved into it and better than a century old now, has been kept freshly painted in its original white and the grounds bespeak a working farmer's pride in property. "We came here to work," Mr.

Gavigan said three years ago, "and we continued to work as long as we could." James Gavigan found he could work until well into his 70s and did so. His son, James W. Gavigan, went to Rochester where he still resides, but a daughter, Allis. rewith her parents. Mr.

Gavigan's brother, Joseph, lives in Clarkson and the grandson also survives. Mr. Gavigan was a life-long member of the Church of the Nativity at Brockport, where a funeral service will be held at 9:30 a. m. Saturday, following service in the Gavigan home on East Fork Lake Hamlin, a half hour earlier.
