Patrick Cullinan, who had been a resident of Grundy county forty years, died at St. Francis hospital, Waterloo, early Sunday morning. He had been ill about three weeks. Death was due to complications following an attack of influenza. He was taken to the hospital after his condition became serious but no help that hospital doctors could give could prolong life. Had he lived until July 4th he would have been 80 years old.
