Patrick Coin Dead
Patrick Coin died, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Joseph Peterman, at
Lisbon, N. Dak., Saturday, March 23 at 4:00 a.m.
His illness was of short duration, he having been able to walk down town
but four days previous to his demise. The cause of his death was pneumonia, and
he being such an aged man, his system could not long resist such a disease.
Mr. Coin was born in the County of Roscommon, Ireland, in the year 1802,
consequently had reached the ripe age of 93 when Death summoned him hence. He
subsequently emigrated to this county and at different periods of his life lived
in New Orleans, St. Louis and in the state of Wisconsin. He came to this county
in the early seventies and resided here until last fall, when failing health and
old age made it necessary for him to go to Lisbon, N. Dak. to reside with his
daughter, Mrs. Joseph Peterman, in order that she might tend his declining
years. Her loving task was of short duration for in five short months he had
passed from the burdens and cares of this life.
His remains arrived here Tuesday evening and the funeral obsequies took
place Wednesday morning at 10:00 o'clock from the Catholic church, Rev. Father
Costello conducting the services.
His remains were brought here by Mrs. Peterman, and his son Charles came up
from St. Louis, and brother and sister together performed the last sad rites to
him who had sheltered and protected in their youthful days.
