Anaconda Standard, Anaconda Montana - Monday Morning, December 31, 1900
Denver, Colo., Dec. 30 -- Despite the cold weather and the fact that several 
inches of snow had fallen during the night, the funeral of Alderman Martin D. 
Currigan today was perhaps the largest and most impressive ever held in Denver. 
The body lay in state for two hours in the council chamber this morning, where 
hundreds passed in and reviewed the well known face. Requiem high mass was 
conducted by Father Duffy at the Church of the Sacred Heart, after which Rev. 
Father Malone delivered the funeral oration. Interment was in Mount Calvary 
cemetery. Amoung the honorary pallbearers were Governor C. S. Thomas and Mayor 
H. V. Johnson of Denver.

Mr. Currigan died Wednesday of blood poisoning, the result of an injury 
received by falling from his buggy on election day. He was born in Ireland 55 
years ago and came to American in early life. Mr. Currigan was a leader in 
democratic politics in Denver for more than 30 years. In business he was a 
building contractor.
