Harold is a son of John Corrigan and John and Basil are sons of the late James Corrigan who died only two weeks ago at his farm home near Parent. Harold Corrigan died Friday noon and Basil died this morning, messages received by relatives at Custer stated...it was indicated in the messages that the car occupied by the two victims collided with a train...A number of relatives are planning on going tomorrow to attend the funeral services for the two victims. Basil Corrigan was married and leaves his wife and one child. The double tragedy is a particularly hard blow to Mrs. James Corrigan, the widow, who is now called up to mourn the deaths of her son and grandson within a short time after the passing of her husband."

Basil's second child was born to his wife a month after Basil's death. This child is still living so his name is omitted.
