OBITUARY. Patrick J. Doherty.

Last Sunday night, at the hour of 11, Patrick J. Doherty, of Doon, serenely gave up this world with its pleasures and sorrows and went to his eternal home. This victim of death had been a long and patient sufferer in this world. For nearly a year he has been confined to his bed with kidney trouble, and at Sioux City last fall had two operations performed in the hopes of recovery.

He was born in Belview, Iowa, 38 years ago and was a resident of Rock Valley for about six years, where he was married to Miss Nellie Healey and removed to Doon. A son was born to them, who will be a comfort and joy to the sorrowing widow in her affliction.

The funeral was under the direction of the A.O.U.W., and was held at St. Mary's church in this city and his mortal remains laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends. In their hour of grief The Register extends its sympathy to the bereaved widow and son.
