Daily Nevada State Journal December 24, 1889
An Old-Timer Gone

Yesterday afternoon, Patrick Tighe, one of the most highly respected citizen of
the Meadows, and for many years a resident of Washoe county, was suddenly
stricken in death.  He had but lately arrived from Canada in a very bad
condition of health, on a trip to his relatives on this coast, hoping that the
genial climate of the Pacific might alleviate his consumptive malady.  Having
arrived at Reno, where several near relatives are domiciled, he domesticated
with his old-time friend John Hogan.

The late sudden change in the temperature, so dangerous to unacclimated persons,
caused a relapse that proved fatal, and one that the best efforts of the
physicians could not overcome.

Deceased was a native of Ireland, aged 54 years, and the funeral will take place
from the residence of John Hogan, at the Western hotel, this afternoon at 2
o’clock, and from thence to the Catholic burial ground.  Mr. Tighe leaves a
mother, two brothers and a sister in Canada, a nephew in Nevada and several
relatives in Michigan.
