Postville Review, Fri., 16 Oct. 1908.

Mrs. Patrick Horgan, whose maiden name was Mary Elizabeth Garvey, was born at Buffalo, N.Y., January 1, 1841, and died at her home in Postville, Iowa, October 10, 1908, aged 67 years, 10 months and 9 days, death coming to her as a sweet release after nearly five months of intense suffering.

Mrs. Horgan had been a resident of Postville 32 years and the many who made her acquaintance during that time knew and admired her as a splendid type of christian womanhood. She was a devoted wife and mother, a true friend and neighbor, and will be sadly missed in the home and the community. She is survived by her husband, two daughters - Katherine E. Murphy, of Reynolds, N.D., and Mame E. Horgan, and one son - John E. Horgan, all of whom were with her and ministered to her every want during her latest illness.

The funeral was held from the Catholic church in this city, Tuesday, Oct. 18th, Father Hogan conducting Mass and Father Cassidy delivering a beautiful sermon in her memory. Interment was made in the cemetery at Clermont, a large concourse of friends and neighbors following the remains to the final resting place.

The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful.

Those from out of town in attendance at the funeral were - Mr. and Mrs. John Murphy, Reynolds, N.D.; Mrs. John Carr and Mrs. T. Moriarty, of Minneapolis; Mrs A. Nelson, of Devil's Lake, N.D.; Mr. and Mrs. Dan Callahan, of Mason City, Iowa; P. Callahan, of Cartersville, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Priest, Mr. and Mrs. James Burke and John Burke, of Cedar Rapids; Mr. and Mrs. Will Burke, of Tipton, Iowa; (At this point the obituary was cut off.).
