DEATH TAKES GOOD CITIZEN
J. P. HOURIGAN PASSES AWAY AT HOME NEAR RILEY AFTER LONG ILLNESS
WAS A NATIVE OF COUNTY
James Patrick Hourigan, 72 years old, familiarly known to his friends as "Jim Short" Hourigan, died at his home on the Lebanon and Danville Pike, near Riley, yesterday shortly before noon. Death was due to dropsy. He had been in failing health for seven years and for several weeks past his condition had been such as to cause practically all hope for his recovery to be abandoned. Mr. Hourigan was a son of Rufus and Nancy Hourigan who came to this country from Ireland. He was born where he was reared and where the greater part of his life was spent in farming. He was at one time engaged in the mercantile business, conducting a general store at Riley for several years. Mr. Hourigan was united in marriage to Miss Grace Johnson, of Missouri, on March 4, 1872, and last year they celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding with all of their living children present. Eight children, six sons and two daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hourigan, four of whom, a daughter (Lottie Morton) and three sons, (William Rufus, Frederick Benedict, and James Patrick, Jr.) preceded their father to the grave. Two sons passed away during the past year. The surviving ones are his widow; a daughter, Mrs. Robert(Mattie) Gray, who lives near Harrodsburg, and three sons, S. T., A. J., and R. B. Hourigan, all of this county. Mr. Hourigan was widely known over the county and a man who was held in high regard by every one who knew him. He was a member of the Haysville Baptist Church and was active in religious affairs in his community. He was a member of the Mosonic Order, belonging for many years to the G. W. Wash Lodge at Gravel Switch. The funeral arrangements had not been completed last evening but the services will be conducted by the Rev. J. W. Martin, of Georgetown, and the burial will be in Haysville cemetery with Masonic Honors.
DEATH CLAIMS MRS. HOURIGAN
Mrs. Grace Ann Hourigan, widow of J. P. Hourigan, died last Saturday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Gray, in Boyle County who whom she has been making her home for the past year. Death was due to infirmities incident to age. She had been in feeble health for some time. Mrs. Hourigan was 75 years old, having been born in Fayette, Missouri, May 26, 1854, and was before her marriage to Mr. Hourigan a Miss Johnson. After her marriage she came to Marion County and had since made her home here with the exception of a few years. Since the death of her husband six years ago, she had been making her home with her children. Besides her daughter, Mrs. Gray of Boyle County, she is survived by three sons, Roy, Sam and Albert Hourigan, all of this county. Funeral services were held at the Haysville Baptist Church in the eastern part of the county Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock by the Rev. R. M. Gabbert. Burial was in the church cemetery by the side of her husband.
