OBITUARY: Marion Semi-Weekly dated Tues., October 19, 1886.
--Patsy Dillon, the well-known Agent for the McCormick Reapers, in Marion, died Sunday evening at six o'clock, of typho-malarial fever, we believe, after a sickness of but a few days. His age was about twenty-six years. He was unmarried and resided with his widowed mother in the 1st Ward. The deceased was a very worthy young man standing well in this community and he was a great help to his mother and other members of the family and they have the sympathy of the public in their great loss."
OBITUARY: Democratic Weekly dated October 21, 1886.
"It is a sad duty we have to perform in announcing the death of another well-known and worthy young man of our city. Mr. P. J. Dillon, familiarly known as "Patsy," died at 6:30 o'clock last Sunday evening, after a brief illness, at his home in the north-eastern part of town. He was about twenty-four years of age, and unmarried. Having been engaged for sometime past in the sale of agricultural implements, he was well-known throughout the county, and held in the highest esteem by all who made his acquaintance and his friends are numbered by the score. He was an energetic young man who pushed with vim every enterprise he took hold of, and his loss will be felt by the business community. He leaves a mother and two sisters residing here and other near relations in Illinois and Indiana. The funeral took place Wednesday morning from St. Mary's Catholic Church, and was very largely attended. The Catholic Total Abstinence Society, of which he was a member, attended in a body, headed by the Prospect band. The services were conducted by Rev. Father Burns and was very impressive."
