Daily Times, Davenport, Scott, Iowa, Dec 19, 1895

HALLIGAN
Patrick J Halligan, who has been a resident of Davenport for the past
forty-two years, passed away at the family residence, 725 Perry street, at
1:40 this morning. His death resulted from pneumonia, which developed from
an accident of which he was the victim and which occurred last Saturday
afternoon. While crossing the street on Harrison and Fourth, he was run down
by a buggy driven by an unknown woman and severely hurt. He was thrown upon
the pavement with such force as to inflict an ugly gash over his right eye
and crush his right lung, from which pneumonia resulted. Mr. Halligan was a
native of Ireland and was seventy years of age. He came to the United States
in 1850 and to Davenport in 1853, residing here continually since that time.
For about thirty years he held the position of general foreman for the
Davenport Gas company, retiring from that occupation several years ago. He
is survived by his wife and six children-John, James, Thomas, William,
Joseph and Mary-all resident of this city.
The funeral will be held from the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock, interment to be made in St. Marguerite's cemetery.
