NOLAN IS DEAD Passed Away in Hospital in Minneapolis Monday. Tuesday morning the sad news of the death of Richard J. Nolan in a hospital at Minneapolis was received by the relatives of the family in this city. Mr. Nolan is a brother of Mrs. Alex Cullen of this city and resided at Mankato, Minnesota. A week ago he entered a hospital where he was treated for enlargment of the liver. It seems that no relief could be given to him. The funeral was held at Mankato yesterday. Services were conducted in the Catholic church at that place and the burial was in the parochial cemetery. A number of relatives from this vicinity were in attendance. Mr. Nolan was born in the vicinity of Emmetsburg September 29, 1869. He grew to manhood in this locality. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Nolan. He was married at Armstrong, this state, December 28, 1897, to Miss Josie Jackman, daughter of the late Michael Jackman. Mr. and Mrs. Nolan lived at Armstrong for some time, after which they moved to some point in Oklahoma. Later they became residents of Oelwein and three years ago they located at Mankato. Mr. Nolan is survived by his wife and an adopted son, Martin Nolan. Among the others who mourn his loss are his parents, Mrs. and Mrs. P. C. Nolan, his brothers, Charles of Graettinger, E. J. of Des Moines and Frank of Chicago. His two sisters are Mrs. Alex Cullen of this city and Mrs. J. J. Martin fo Ayrshire. Mr. Nolan was a happy, genial, obliging, kind hearted gentelman and had a wide circle of devoted friends. His good nature and his readiness to do helpful favors to those whom he esteemed made him popular among the many in this county and elsewhere who had the good fortune to know him. He was outspoken and manly and he was industrious and strictly upright. He was charitable and gave freely towards the support of worthy purposes. The writer found Mr. Nolan a warm personal friend for nearly thirty years, and it is with unfeigned regret that we learn of his death. The sympathy of all is extended to Mrs. Nolan, the son, the aged parents, and the brothers and sisters in the sorrow that has come to them.
