DIED OF
HEART FAILURE Harry
Coleman Expires Suddenly
Joseph DeAyotte was the first witness.
He said that Coleman was working behind the bar about
4 o’clock yesterday morning and was engaged at the water
tank, when he noticed him suddenly stop and began to shake
violently as though he had a chill.
“I was standing at the cigar case,” the witness
said, “and when I noticed his unusual actions I said, ‘what’s
the matter, Harry?’ as I walked toward him.” He replied,
“I don’t know,” and fell in my arms.
The witness said a man happened in at the time and he
sent him for a doctor, but none came. Coleman, he said, died
about five minutes after he was first attacked.
Officer McDonald testified that he went into DeAyotte’s
saloon and found the man lying on the floor at the north end
of the bar and sent a message to the city jail, which was
answered by Sergeant McGrath, and the sergeant testified
that when he entered the saloon he examined the man and
discovering that he was dead, sent for the coroner,
remaining until that official arrived.
Frank DeAyotte testified that he had known the
deceased for 10 years and considered him a very good man. He
had gone to his home and after his death there learned from
his wife that he was troubled with heart disease, and had
been for a long time. The wife had also said that her
husband’s right name was Patrick Henry, but not liking the
first name he had used the second and this had been changed
to Harry by his friends.
The jury rendered a verdict stating that the deceased
came to his death from heart failure.
Papers found upon the deceased showed that he
enlisted in the army in June 1866, and was honorably
discharged in 1869, when he was 21 years of age, which would
make him 52 years of age the coming month. He enlisted in
Company K, Nineteenth Infantry, and his discharge paper show
that he was a quartermaster’s sergeant.
The deceased leaves a wife and five children who
reside on West Silver street. The

Among his warm personal friends was the late James A. Murray, whom he survived by only a few days. Mr. Conlon is the fourth of a noted group of Butte pioneers to pass away within a few weeks of each other. Gen. Charles S. Warren was the first, then Edward Hickey, and last week James A. Murray. Mr. Conlon
was one of the very oldest of the pioneers left. Fifty-seven years ago
he came up the Missouri by steamboat to Fort Benton, and was then one
of the first white men in that territory. He visited in sequence all
of the famous placer camps and conducted a mercantile business for a
time in Virginia City. Later he spent a short time in the Black Hills,
South Dakota, and then returned to Montana. The
Anaconda Standard PAT CONLON DEAD;
PIONEER MONTANAN Death Comes Suddenly,
Had Visited With Friends Sunday
The funeral will be held
Thursday morning at 9 o’clock at the family residence and mass will be
celebrated in St. Patrick’s church at 9:30 o’clock.
Interment will be in St. Patrick’s cemetery.
Mr. Conlon was 83 years of age
and one of the oldest pioneers left in Montana.
He came to the site of Butte in 1867.
Born in County Mayo, Ireland,
Mr. Conlon came to New York when he was 15 years old.
After two years in that city he came west.
He made the trip up the Missouri to Fort Benton and was one of
the first white men in Montana territory.
He visited all of the famous placer camps of that day and after
engaging in the mercantile business in Virginia City went to the Black
Hills district of South Dakota. Mr.
Conlon stayed there but a short time, returning to Butte where he
located and had since made his home.
Mr. Conlon’s restaurant,
which became the rendezvous for pioneers, was one of his first ventures
in Butte, then a small camp. Later
he acquired considerable property and was interested in a number of
successful mining ventures.
He was in the south when the
civil war broke out and enlisted with the Confederate army with which he
fought for three years, until taken a prisoner.
It was shortly after he was released from the military prison
that he came west.
Mr. Conlon was one of the most
respected members of the Montana Pioneers and was always a conspicuous
figure at their meetings. His
honesty and integrity and a pleasing personality marked him as one of
the esteemed members of the local community and held him numerous
friends and acquaintances in other parts of Montana
Mr. Conlon was a warm friend
of the late Marcus Daly and was also well acquainted with Gen. Thomas
Francis Meagher, acting governor of Montana during the early days.
Also associated with him during the early days and close to him
until their last days were the late Rod Leggat, Gen. Charles S. Warren,
Edward Hickey and James A. Murray, all pioneers, who have passed in a
little over a year.
While he had been ailing for
some time past Mr. Conlon was not confined to his room and was able to
be about Sunday when he greeted numerous friends.
That evening after dinner he complained that he did not feel very
well, but his condition was not serious enough to cause an alarm.
Monday morning, however, he appeared much weaker and a physician
was called but he rapidly grew weaker and passed away in peaceful sleep.
