McDonough, Patrick, Mount Pleasant, was born in County Mayo, Ireland about
1824. When eighteen, he came to the United States and engaged in
tailorwork with an elder brother in Shenango county, New York. He came to
Mazeppa in the fall of 1856, and secured some land near that village. In
partnership with his brother he now owns eighty acres in Zumbrota and a
like amount in Mount Pleasant, where he lives. He enlisted February 22,
1862, in Co. H, 5th Minn. regt., and served in the western army. He was an
actor in the battles of Vicksburg, Nashville, Corinth, Iuka, Jackson,
Champion Hills and the Red River expedition. He was hurt by a fall in the
night, but served out his time and was discharged in September, 1865.
After the war he spent three years in Swift county, where he took a claim
and afterward sold it. Mr. McDonough never married, and resides with a
niece, Mrs. McBride. He is a member of Lake City Catholic church and a
democrat.
