CHARLES PATRICK MONAGHAN

C.P. MONAGHAN DIES SUDDENLY IN STORE THURSDAY MORNING

   C.P. Monaghan, well-known citizen of our town, died suddenly Thursday 
morning in his tailoring establishment in Second Avenue.  Mr. Monaghan was 
apparently in good health but had complained to member of his family that 
morning of not feeling well.  While standing talking to his son, Pat, he 
suddenly collapsed.  Thomas catching his father in his arms and death being 
practically instantaneous.  Dr. J.C. Rawls who was called pronounced it 
apoplexy.

   Charles Patrick Monaghan was a native of Glasgow, Scotland, and was 63 
years of age.  He came of America when a lad of 13 years, working here for 
four of five years and then returning to his native city.  There he married 
Miss Elizabeth McGowan in 1897 and the same year they came to American and 
lived in Baltimore for several years.  In April 1908, Mr. Monaghan and his 
family moved to Franklin conducting a tailor’s shop here until 1920.  Living 
in Cradock and South Boston, Va., from 1920 to 1925, they returned to Franklin 
in July, 1925.

   Mr. Monaghan was a quiet, honorable citizen, unassuming in manner but a man 
of many fine qualities.  He enjoyed a most successful business here and the 
confidence of his fellow townsmen generally.  He was a consistent communicant 
of High Street M.E. Church and a member of the fraternal order, Woodmen of the 
World.

   Mr. Monaghan is survived by his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth McGowan Monaghan; five 
sons, Thomas, Francis, Pat and Joe Monaghan of this town and Jimmie Monaghan 
of Cradock; three daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Kinney of Franklin, Miss Virginia 
Monaghan of Norfolk and Miss Katherine Monaghan of Franklin, and by two 
grandchildren, Jimmy Monaghan, Jr., and Peggy Kinney.
