Shakopee Tribune ~ April 7, 1899
Patrick Cleary ~ Died at his home in Credit River March 30, 1899.
Deceased was born in County Clare, Parish of Dungad, Ireland in 1828. In 1848, accompanied by his father, mother, brothers and sisters, he set sail for America. After a long and tedious voyage they landed in New York. From thence they went to Pennsylvania where they remained four years, then moved to Ohio, where they lived five years; they next moved to Missouri, but finding the climate unhealthy, stayed but a short time; from there they moved to St. Paul.
Here the family remained, while Patrick, accompanied by his father and two companions, went in search of a place to locate. They came to what is now Credit River. Being pleased with the beauty of the scenery and the fertility of the soil, they decided to remain and returned to St. Paul and brought out their families. After living here a short time, they had begun the grand work of transforming a wilderness into a place of beauty.
Patrick married Miss Bridget Quailey of Egantown. His history from this forward was a constant battle against the ways of the world to become rich in both temporal and spiritual goods.
The funeral took place on Monday at 10 o’clock from St. Peter’s Church, Credit River. The procession consisted of 137 teams and was one of the largest ever witnessed in this part of the country. Rev. Lee, assisted by Revs. Quinn and Rhatigan, sang a solumn requiem mass. Rev. Quinn preached a very eloquent sermon in which he spoke highly of the many virtues of the deceased. After the services had been completed a procession was formed, headed by the acolytes and priests. He was borne to the grave ‘mid the tears and prayers of his relatives and many friends.
