Richard Mangan Chilton Times August 31, 1872
Died – At his residence in the town of Chilton, on Tuesday afternoon, the 27th inst., Richard Mangan, aged 66 years.
The deceased was a native of the County of West Meath, in the Province of Leinster, Ireland. He emigrated to America in 1832 and settled at Paris, in Upper Canada, where he remained until 1848 when he removed to Wisconsin and made Calumet County his permanent home; being one of the early pioneers of this county. He was s firm believer in the Roman Catholic faith and being a man of more than ordinary intelligence his voice and counsel had great weight with the congregation.
He was a true patriot in every sense of the word for, although too far advanced in life to shoulder a musket himself, he allowed six sons to march to the front to uphold our country's honor—three of whom now rest in honorable soldier's graves. Some years ago he was attacked by a cancer on the under lip, which defied all remedies and although he was aware his case was hopeless he bore his sufferings and faced death with the Christian meekness and true courage that none but those whose belief in the blessed Redeemer is sincere can feel.
As a father and husband he was kind and affectionate and as a neighbor, courteous and obliging, and although lost to sight his many good qualities will long be remembers in this community, while the veil of charity will be thrown over the very few faults he possessed. A long and sympathizing procession followed the remains to the cemetery.
