PATRICK DUGAN DEAD
Passed Away Early Tuesday Morning of This Week

Tuesday morning our citizens were pained to learn of the death of Mr. Patrick
Dugan of Great Oak township. it seems that he had been ailing more or less
for several years with appendicitis, though he was usually able to be about
at his work and was apparently strong and hearty. During the past few days,
however, he was a very sick man, though his relatives could scarcely believe
taht death was so close at hand. He passed away Tuesday morning at seven
o'clock. The funeral will probably be held tomorrow. Mr. Dugan was a member
of the Catholic parish at Ayrshire. Hence the services will most likely
be held in Sacred Heart church at that place.
Mr. Dugan came to this county perhaps 26 years ago. He was born in Illinois
in 1869. He and his father lived on a farm in Great Oak township until
a few years ago when the old gentleman died. Mr Dugan was married November
27, 1909 to Miss Nellie McNamara, of the Ayrshire neighborhood. He is survived
by his wife and two children, a boy and a girl. The youngest is a mere
infant. Mr. Dugan was one of the most industrious upright and respected
citizens of our county. He was a man of exemplary habits, was an obliging
friend and neighbor, and he was frank, sincere, and unassuming. He was
thrifty and economical and he became prosperous. His death in manhood's
prime is sad indeed and is a severe blow to his young wife and little children.
The writer knew Mr. Dugan intimately, has a very high regard for him, and
it is with sincere regret that we chronicle his death.
