Mrs. P. Cavanaugh

Mrs. P. Cavanaugh, of Saxon, died in August, 1886. She had been long and favorably known, the family being one of the first to settle in that vicinity. Her husband, commonly known as "Old Pat" at all the neighboring fairs, who died about two years ago, was about the first to indulge in high-priced thoroughbred shorthorn cattle, and to him may be traced much of the improvement of the stock of Stark as well as Henry county. She was buried in the cemetery which the family donated for the uses of a Catholic burying ground.
