Obituary
Patrick Coughlin (sic) (Conklin) Dead.
This honest patriotic old man died at his home on Genesee street last Wednesday morning, aged 77 years. For fully thirty-five years we have known him, have enjoyed many a "square meal" at his hospitable table when his home was near Fort Hill. Shortly after his good wife's death he moved into the village - that was about 1859, and in '61 he enlisted in the 3rd N. Y. heavy artillery, serving honorably to the full end of his term. Since then he has resided with his children Mrs. H. L. Stainton and his unmarried daughter Elizabeth. He suffered a stroke of paralisis (sic) a few years ago, from which he never recovered. We rejoice at having called upon and helped cheer the old man occasionally in his declining years. He was buried on Saturday, the funeral service being held in the Catholic Church of which he was always a faithful member. Honest-hearted old man; he is entirely free from pain and suffering now.

Obituary
Death of a Veteran - Patrick Coughlin (sic - Conklin) died at his residence, Genesee street, last Wednesday morning, aged 77 years. Deceased was a veteran of the late war, having enlisted in 1861 in the 3d N. Y. heavy artillery. He served faithfully and gallantly during the full period of his enlistment. He had passed even the prime of life when he enlisted, and thus was not actuated by those excitable emotions which filled our armies to so great an extent with young men. He realized at his mature years all the risks incident to the wearied march, the exposure of camp life, and the hazards of the battle field, and bravely and undauntedly he assumed and faced them all, and escaped without a wound. But unfortunately the effect was not without disaster in another form. He was attacked with blindness, which in a short time rendered him a helpless invalid on the hands of his children. The pension laws of a grateful country covered his case, and he justly became a beneficiary thereunder. The nation's bounty bestowed upon him placed him beyond want, and dutiful and loving children saw to his personal comfort during his declining years. The three daughters surviving are Mrs. Harry Stainton, Mrs. S. Palmateer, and one (Elizabeth) unmarried. The funeral of the deceased veteran will take place tomorrow forenoon from St. Francis de Sales Church. Deceased had suffered a year or two past from partial paralysis, but the end was hastened by lung difficulty.

Biography (written by Janet Johanson)
Patrick Conklin was born in Ireland, and came to America some time between 1831 and 1834. He lived in Massachusetts until at least 1840. He came to the Geneva area about 1852. He had seven daughters (Ellen, Hannah H. Julia A, Margaret, Joanna, Elizabeth "Libbie" and Mary) and two sons (Robert and Thomas) who served in the Civil War also.
Because the fate of so many of his children is unknown, and cannot be memorialized on Find A Grave, they are included in this biography for historical purposes.
His wife, Elizabeth "Betsey" R Conklin, was born in 1810 in Ireland. She died November 1859 in Seneca, Ontario, New York, from consumption, as documented in the US Federal Census Mortality Schedule for 1860. She is probably buried in an unmarked grave in the Conklin plot at Glenwood Cemetery in Geneva.
Ellen Conklin Parker Stainton was born in 1831 in Ireland. Her memorial is linked to this memorial.
Hannah H Conklin Palmateer was born June 1834 in Massachusetts or Vermont. Her memorial is linked to this memorial.
Elizabeth "Libbie" Conklin was born 8 Mar 1835 in Massachusetts. Her memorial is linked to this memorial.
Julia A. Conklin was born about 1837 in New York. In 1855, she was working as a servant in the Joel and Esther Whitney home in Seneca as a servant. No other documentation or gravestone has been found for her. Her burial place is unknown, but probably in the Conklin plot at Glenwood Cemetery.
Margaret Conklin Black (wife of Joseph Black, born 1831 in Ireland), was born in 1839 in Oswego County, New York. They were last documented in 1863 on his civil war registration. No graves have been found for either of them.
Joanna Conklin, born in 1842 in New York. In 1860, she was working as a domestic in the hotel operated by Jacob Wormley in Geneva. She died August 21, 1863 in Geneva of consumption at the age of 21. Her grave is unmarked but probably in the Conklin plot at Glenwood Cemetery.
Robert Conklin, born in 1843 in Oswego County, New York. He served in the Civil War in the New York Company H 3rd Infantry. He was mustered in May 22, 1861 with the rank of "Private". He was discharged February 21, 1863 for disability. He died January 7, 1864 in Flint Creek of consumption at the age of 21. His grave is unmarked but probably in the Conklin plot at Glenwood Cemetery.
Thomas Conklin was born 1845 in Seneca, Ontario, New York. He served in the Civil War. His first enlistment date was May 1, 1861 when he was just 16 years old. He was a private in Co. H of the 33rd Regiment of the NY Infantry. He is documented as having deserted February 27, 1862. He re-enlisted December 1, 1863 in Canandaigua, New York at the age of 18. He was enlisted in Company H, New York 24th Cavalry Regiment on January 7, 1864 as a Private. He was promoted to Full Corporal on February 10, 1865. He was mustered out of that regiment on Jun 17, 1865. He transferred to Company H, New York 1st Cavalry Regiment on June 17, 1865 and was mustered out on July 19, 1865 at Cloud's Mill, Virginia. He was enlisted again at Rochester, New York on December 1865 in the 10th Infantry, Company B for three years and demoted July 16, 1866. He survived the war, and died at the Washington Soldiers' Home in Orting, Washington. His Find A Grave Memorial is #5550739.
Mary Conklin was born in 1847 in Seneca, Ontario, New York. She appears to have died before 1860 since she has not been found in the 1860 US Federal Census. No grave has been found for her but she is probably buried at the Conklin plot at Glenwood Cemetery.
Patrick Conklin's burial spot is unconfirmed but most probably in the Conklin plot at the Glenwood Cemetery in Geneva.
This biography is still a work in progress as research on the family continues.
