Death of Father Crowley, The Southern Cross, Adelaide, 31 May 1946, p 6, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article167711489:
Sorrow was felt, not only in St. Peters Parish, but in many parts of South Australia, at the death of Rev. Fr. C. B. Crowley, Parish Priest of St. Peters, on May 28, at the Presbytery, St. Peters.
Father Cornelius Bernard Crowley was born at Mallow, Co. Cork, Ireland, on February 2, 1878. He was educated for the priesthood at All Hallows' College, Dublin, and ordained on June 24, 1902. Arrived in the Archdiocese of Adelaide on October 23 or 24 of the same year, he was stationed for some time at West Terrace. Later, Fr. Crowley was Parish Priest of Murray Bridge and Spalding parishes before going to Port Lincoln as assistant Priest in 1918. Subsequently Fr. Crowley was Parish Priest of Kingswood, Gawler, Kadina and St. Peters. In ill-health for some years, death in the end came suddenly to Fr. Crowley, though he was granted time to receive the Last Sacraments.
The body will be brought to the Church of the Holy Name, St. Peters, on Thursday evening, May 30, at 7.15, and the Rosary will be recited. A Requiem Mass will be offered on Friday morning at the Church of the Holy Name at 7 o'clock. The body will then be brought to the Cathedral, where Solemn Office and Requiem Mass will take place at 10.30 a.m. Thence the funeral will proceed to Centennial Park Cemetery.
