Biography provided by David Davis, Camp 25, SUVCW
Patrick Keating was born about 1817 in Ireland and died at 7 pm September 3, 1901, at his residence in the Western Addition to Reno. During the Rebellion, he served as a corporal in Battery G, 2nd New York Heavy Artillery. He enlisted August 31, 1861, and was discharged January 28, 1864. He and his wife Julia had moved to Nevada prior to 1870 when at that time he worked as a railroad laborer and she as a domestic at Clark Station. Julia, also a native of Ireland, passed away in 1891, but during the Rebellion she served in the rear of the lines caring for the wounded. He joined the General O.M. Mitchel Post 69 of the G.A.R. in 1886. At the time of his death, he had been ill for several years and was living with his brother Dennis. He had requested to be buried in his old uniform next to his old comrades in arms. His funeral was held at the Catholic Church, at 9:00 am on September 5 under the auspices of both the Church and the G.A.R. He was interred in the old St. Thomas Catholic Cemetery, which at the time would have been called St. Mary’s. The cemetery was sold to UNR, and his remains were removed to Grave 1455 in Plot 35 of the Old St. Thomas section of Our Mother of Sorrows Cemetery in 1962. If there had been a tombstone on his original grave, it was not moved with his remains. During the 1960s, the Johanna Shine Tent 86 of the DUVCW and Issac Crist Camp 28 of the SUVCW researched and renovated the Mitchel Post 69 plot and acquired 39 new tombstones from the VA. One of these happened to be for Mr. Keating, though was never interred there. The American Legion Dunkle Post 1 oversees the Mitchel Post 69 plot and gave the okay for the tombstone to be moved in 2018. Members of the Carlin Camp 25 of the SUVCW made arrangements for workers from Our Mother of Sorrows Cemetery to move the tombstones.
