Funeral of Thomas Hanigan
The funeral of Thomas Hanigan, who died on Thursday morning of last week, was held from the residence in Payette on Friday morning at 8:30 o'clock, with mass at the Catholic church at 9 o'clock, after which the remains were taken to New Plymouth for burial. Speaking of the death of Mr. Hanigan the New Plymouth Outlook of last week says:
Grouped around the bed were four of the six children who with sorrowing eyes witnessed the peaceful ending of a life nearly three quarters of a century in extent. He was born in Ireland December 30, 1830; in March, 1857, was married to Miss Sarah Cook, from which union there were born ten children, six of whom are now living, namely, John and Henry Hanigan, Mrs. Jessie Henney, Mrs. Mary Kinney, Mrs. Della Lee and Miss Ida Hanigan. The deceased was reared in the Roman Catholic faith, and was a loyal, consistent member of that church through life.
