Requiem high mass was held at St. Patrick's Catholic church this morning for the late John E. Corcoran, of Lead, whose death came at his home here on Wednesday night after an illness of several years. The church was filled with friends of Mr. Corcoran and his family who came to pay last respects to the well-known Lead citizen.
The Rev. Father J.P. Walsh, of Belle Fourche, was celebrant of the mass. The Rev. Daniel Newman, O.P., of Chicago, preached the sermon. The 'Ave Maria' was sung by Mrs. Ray Carroll, and Miss Helen Morganti sang 'Face to Face.' The Rev. J.A. LaFleur was organist.
Interment was made in Calvary cemetery in South Lead, with the following pallbearers: active - Emil Lehecka, R.E. Driscoll, D.W. Ellis, W.B. Dunn, John Neary and J.J. Delaney. An honorary escort was composed of P.A. Gushurst, R.H. Driscoll, Mason Tyler, J.W. Curran, Henry May and T.H. O'Connor."
A 1905 Lead Daily Call Souvenir Edition noted, "Mr. Corcoran was born at Cleveland, Ohio, June 10th, 1865, and coming west in 1880 located in Lead, where he has since resided. On arriving here he secured employment as bookkeeper in the grocery department of the company store, which was then under the management of Thos. James, who was succeeded by McDonald, Thomas Moore succeeding him and A. McKenzie succeeding Mr. Moore. Mr. Corcoran remained with this house until January, 1887, when he entered the Lead City Bank as bookkeeper. September, 1893 he was elected assistant cashier of the bank, and which, by the way, is the strongest banking institution in the state, which position he is now filling. Thus for twenty-four years has Mr. Corcoran been in the employ of only two institutions here in Lead, a record to certainly be proud of, and especially so, when one takes into the consideration the nature of the positions he has filled. By this demonstration of stability he enjoys not only the confidence of the bank officials but also the general public as well. Aside from his wife, having been married February 5, 1895, his family consists of three children. Mr. Corcoran is a member of the Modern Woodmen, Elks, and Knight of Columbus lodges."
