"AN OLD RESIDENT OF THE CITY IS DEAD"
Patrick E. Conley Passed to World Beyond Late Monday Afternoon at Daughter's Home.
After three years of patient suffering, Patrick E. Conley, one of the older residents of Janesville, passed to the world beyond at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Daniel Connell, in the town of Rock, shortly after three o'clock. For the past three years Mr. Conley has been an invalid, suffering from paralytic stroke.
Patrick Conley was born at Newtown, County Gore, Ireland in 1839. He came to America in 1852, landing in New York, where he remained for a short time, later removing to Janesville, where he has since made his home. He had a large number of friends in this city who will be grieved to learn of his demise. During the Civil War he served with the 44th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry with much credit. In 1866 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Ratchford, and the widow and five children born of this union are left to mourn his loss, one child dying in infancy. They are William Conley of Sauk Center, Minnesota, Patrick Conley of Carroll, Iowa, Mrs. (Margaret) John Smith of Sampson, Wisconsin, Mrs. (Catherine) Michael O'Donnell of Monroe, and Mrs. (Rosella) Daniel Connell of Janesville.
