 Includes NotesNotes for Patrick Donlon:
Patrick was a farmer in Ireland until October 1847 and then came to America with his parents. They resided in New Jersey for one year, then he went to Worcester, Massachusetts, to work in the sewing machine shops and in the iron and steel factory where he made guns, etc., for the government.
He married on June 16, 1852 and continued to work in the factory until April 16, 1864, when he moved to Clayton county and settled in Cox Creek Township. Two years later he settled on a 465-acre farm in Sections 12 and 13 in Highland Township.
His funeral was one of the largest held at St Joseph's church for some time, some 125 teams being in the procession, while the church was crowded to it's utmost capacity by those who came to pay their respects to a respected friend and neighbor. At church the ceremonies commenced with chanting of the office of the dead, after which a solemn High Mass was celebrated. This was taken from his obituary in 1900.
