Mary Ann's father was Patrick Dawson of Ireland. I don't know anything more than that about him. Any info about Patrick would be most appreciated.

It is possible his obit could have been in the Mar. 10 issue. I do not have any Jan. issues of the 1904 paper for wife Mary. I had the papers for daughter Mary Hein, but could not find an obit in 1894 paper. I would definitely contact Marilyn at the Sterling Library and have her check the Gazette papers.
