Patrick Lee (b. 1850, County Galway, Ireland)

According to his obituary dated April 28, 1910, in the Kellogg Enterprise,
Patrick was born in Ireland in 1856--though his headstone would suggest 
the year 1850.

His obituary stated:  "Patrick Lee Departs This Life--For 26 years He was 
a Highly Respected Resident of This Village.  Patrick Lee a resident of
Kellogg for the past twenty-six years died at his home here Saturday April
23.  Mr. Lee was born in County Galway, Ireland in 1856 twenty-six years
ago, because of conditions existing in his native land and not willing to
submit longer to oppression he with his wife and family sought freedom in 
a new land.  For twenty-six years he has been an honored citizen of our
community, hard working honest man that he was, careful of every act and
deed lest he offended anyone.  He was ready to extend a helping hand to
those in need, was a good husband a loving father and a model citizen,
although dead and gone his memory will live.

He leaves besides his sorowing widow nine children as follows Mrs. Moore 
of St. Paul, John of Fargo, N.D., Winnie and Margaret of St. Paul, Bridget,
Anna, Agnes, Patrick and Martin at home.  All of whom were present at the
last.

The funeral was held Monday from St. Agnes church, where Requiem Mass was
said by Fr.  Culliton assisted by Fr. Pudenz as deacon, Fr. English as
subdeacon.  A very touching sermon was delivered by Fr. English of Winona.
Interment was in the new cemetery here, at home.

Those who were in attendance at the burial from away were:  F.H. Lee
Staples, Minn, Mrs. Pat Mulcurrn and daughter Emelia of St. Paul, Mrs. Ann
McDonough of St. Paul, Mrs. Thos. Powers of Fargo, N.D., Miss Catherine 
Lee Denison, Minn., and J.D. McDonough Fargo, N.D.
