Patrick Nulty, one of the pioneers of Kay County, died at his home at age 53 of that dread disease comsumption (tuberculosis). Mr. Nulty had been suffering for the past two years. Some time ago he went to New Mexico to try the effect of the high dry climate, but getting no relief, he returned home.

He came west in 1860 and located in Osage City, Kansas, afterward removing to Sedan and was a pioneer of Chautauqua County, Kansas, where he was a leading spirit in politics and business during his residence there. At the opening of the Cherokee outlet, on the memorable 17th day of September 1893, he made the run for a home and located on a claim adjoining Ponca City. He came from Sedan, Kansas and has been a prominent figure in business and political circles. His friends were many and no man can say that patrick Nulty willfully did them a wrong.

Patrick was born in St. Lawrence County, New York on October 26, 1847, and died in Ponca City, Oklahoma, on January 26, 1900. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss, the oldest twenty, and youngest eight and they have the heartfelt sympathy of the community, in this their hour of sad bereavement.

The funeral services will be held at the Catholic Church Sunday at 3 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Father Borremans. Burial will be in the St. Mary's section of the Ponca City IOOF Cemetery.
