Monaghan Uriah 09/13/1827 10/29/1902 46 11
Minneapolis Messenger, Ottawa County, Kansas, Nov. 6, 1902, page 6:
Uriah Monaghan
Last Thursday afternoon at one o'clock the funeral services were held over the remains of Uriah Monaghan, who died on Wednesday evening. The funeral took place at the family residence in the north part of town, where the Monaghans have lived for more than thirty years. Widely known, as Mr. Monaghan has been, it was a shock to his great number of friends to hear last week that the old man had been stricken with paralysis. The stroke came on early Tuesday morning, and though he lived for two days, Mr. Monaghan was not conscious after that time. Rev. McElroy conducted the funeral services, and a great many were present to pay their last respects to a good old friend.
Uriah Monaghan was born in September 13, 1827, near London, Canada. He was married there to Mary Elizabeth McIntosh. In 1870 Mr. Monaghan came out to Kansas and settled on the old homestead claim which has ever since been the family home. The family followed him the next year. Of a very large family of children, eight survive among whom Mrs. Mike Cosgrove, formerly of Minneapolis; Mrs. Cox; Mrs. Charles Erbentraut, who still lives here, Uriah and Will Monaghan of Junction City and Charles who lives here, are the best known to Minneapolis people. The wife and mother died a year ago. Mr. Monaghan was a large heavily built man, and during his good health a man of activity. For a long time his health had been very poor and his age was against him, for the old man was in his 76th year. Sincere sorrow is expressed on all sides at Mr. Monaghan's death.
