From Story County Watchman January 14, 1898

Colo Watchman.

Mr. Patrick Lawler was born in Ireland about ninety years ago and died in Colo on Friday evening, January 7, 1898. He has lived with the family of Roger McCoy for the past thirty years. He was in the employ of the Iowa Central R'y at Marshalltown for a great many years and became one of their most trusty men. His life was a model that we all might profit by following. His funeral was held in the Catholic church at this place Sunday morning and the remains were laid to rest the beautiful cemetery in Nevada. Many friends from Colo and Nevada were in attendance at the services which were held there.
