Patrick Noonan Buried Here
The funeral of Patrick Noonan of Highmore, S.D., took place from the Catholic church Estherville, on Friday morning and burial was made in the cemetery south of the city.

Deceased was born in the county of Limerick, Ireland, and was aged seventy years and since 1861 had resided in this country. The family came here in 1894 and for the succeeding seven years lived in Center township, moving to Highmore in 1901. A family of seven children was born to Mr. and Mrs. Noonan of whom survive Mrs. Joseph Brady, Mrs. T. W. Tibbs and M. T. and P. J. Noonan of Highmore, Mrs. Frank Coughlin of Seneca, Ill., and John Noonan of Gillette Grove, all of whom were attending the funeral.

During the long number of years allotted to him he was a hard working and industrious gentleman, always much devoted to his family and loyal to his friends. For some time he had ailed from bronchitis and from which developed the fatal illness. Beside the ashes of his good wife repose his remains and in the mercy of God we hope that to the spirit which never dies happiness eternal is his portion.
