DIED
MORAN-At the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wm. Farrell, in Phillips, Wisconsin
June 4th, 1888, Patrick Moran, aged about 80 years.
For a few years past the deceased has been gradually giving away to the effects of old age. For a number of days past he had been unusually low, and his friends knew he could not recover. His body was taken to Stevens Point and buried in the Catholic cemetery. The funeral services were held at that place and attended by a large number of his former friends. He was, as we believe, a true Christian, a member of the Catholic church and firm in his faith. He died at ease and at peace with the whole world. He leaves to directly mourn his loss four grown children, two daughters, Mrs. Mary E. Dardis and Mrs. Wm. Farrell, of this place, and two sons, Patrick and Michael. For the past twelve years Mr. Moran was a resident of Phillips, and was well known, beloved and respected by us all. -Phillips Times.
The deceased was one of the early residents of Stevens Point, and since leaving here has resided at Phillips. He was known as an honorable, hard-working man, and well liked by our old citizens. The funeral, last Wednesday afternoon, was largely attended.
