From the history of Our Lady of the Angels Catholic Church in Sauk Centre, Minnesota:
For the English speaking Catholics of Sauk Centre, a church was organized about 1883 and served by the clergyman stationed at St. Paul's Church. Rev. William Lange was the first pastor. In 1886 the pastor was Rev. F. O'Reilly, who in 1888 was followed by Rev. D. J. Cogan, who died as pastor January 16, 1889. Both these reverend gentlemen were resident at the church.
The church is located at the corner of Ash and Seventh streets.

Rev. D. J. Cogan of Sauk Centre died last week Wednesday aged 61 years. Father Cogan was well known throughout the northwest as the founder of the academy of individual instruction at Grove Lake which was afterward removed to Sauk Centre.
REV. FATHER D. J. COGAN, of Sauk
Centre, died in that city Wednesday,
January 16. Father Cogan was born
in Dublin, May 28,1827, and came to
America in 1861. In 1877 he came to
Stearns county, this state, and accepted
a professorship in St. John's college; afterwards
he opened his academy of individual
instruction at Grove Lake,
which in 1883 he removed to Sauk
Centre. This magnificent building, in
which the people of Sauk Centre as well
as Father Cogan took great pride, was
destroyed by fire last March, and thereafter
he became pastor of one of Sauk
Centre's Catholic churches. A man of
rare ability, gentle and unassuming in
manner, pleasant at all times, he was
known and loved in Sauk Centre by
all citizens, regardless of creed. With
thousands of others who had the pleasure
of Father Cogan's acquaintance,
THE IRISH STANDARD would express
its sincere regrets upon his death. May
his soul rest in peace.

Father Cogan's Funeral. —The last
sad rites were paid to the memory of Rev.
D. J. Cogan on Friday last, the funeral
being largely attended by sorrowing
friends. The German Catholic church
was filled to its utmost capacity. Solemn
requiem mass was said by Father
Boever as celebrant, assisted by Vicar
General Stemper of St. Cloud, Father
Ulrich, O. S. B. of St. John's College,
Fathers Gunkel of Long Prairie and
Williams of Melrose. At the close of the
mass the remains were exposed in the
church, that all who desired might have
a farewell look upon the features of one
who was beloved by all. Hundreds
availed themselves of the melancholy opportunity
of bidding a last farewell to
the deceased. His remains were laid to
rest in the Catholic cemetery, one of the
longest processions ever witnessed in this
village comprising the solemn cortege.
The bearers were Messrs. Hogan of
Spring Hill, Harmon, Bennett, Kusba,
Kells and Hendryx of this village. At
the grave the services were simple and affecting.
