Nationalist and Leinster Times. January 1906. Mr Patrick Mangan. It is with much regret we record the death after a brief illness, of Mr Patrick Mangan, Coal Market House, Carlow, which sad event occurred at Coal Market House in the early morning of the first day of the New Year. Deceased was the second surviving son of the late Mr Martin Mangan, who built up an extensive and prosperous business as corn buyer and maltster, and whose enterprise and probity during a long and active life, reflected credit on the town. The subject of our obituary inherited the commercial instincts which made his father's name so well known throughout the province. He was a genial and well-informed citizen, an affectionate husband and father, and a good friend. Nine priests celebrated High Mass and Office in the Cathedral. The chief mourners were -- James Mangan ( brother ), Masters Martin and Patrick Mangan, ( sons ), Misses Josephine, Bride, Bess, Cathleen ( daughters ), Bride Kearney, ( niece ).
