The Muncie (IN) Morning Star
Friday, 28 May 1909


         Aged Resident is Dead
         
         Demise Came Suddenly
         
         PATRICK ST. JOHN, 94, Until Recently
          Was Very Active and Frequently 
           Joined in the Sports of Small
            Boys of City
            
         PATRICK ST. JOHN, 94, a well known resident
       of this city, died at his home in the St. John
       hotel, in East Jackson street, about 9:30 o'clock
       last night. MR. ST. JOHN had been ill only a few
       weeks and despite his age, death was not fully
       expected. He had resided in this city for over
       ten years, during which time he had become well
       known.
         MR. ST. JOHN was probably one of the most ac-
       tive men for his age that ever lived in this city.
       It was a known fact that whenever he heard music
       he could not resist dancing. Last fall he would
       go out in front of the hotel and play football
       with the small boys of the neighborhood. He was
       a lover of books and many nights he would sit in
       the lobby of the hotel and read until a late hour.
       He never used glasses.
         MR. ST. JOHn was born in Ireland. He came to
       this country when but a young man. Until a little
       over ten years ago he was engaged in farming at
       Hastings, Mich. The deceased is survived by two
       sons, FRANK ST. JOHN, of this city, and DR. JOHN
       ST. JOHN, of Kalamzaoo, Mich., and two daughters,
       MRS. LIZZIE RINKERS, of Hastings, Mich., and MRS.
       BERTIE MILGROVE, of Kalamazoo, Mich.
         The body will be taken to his former home in
       Hastings at 9 o'clock this morning. The funeral
       services and burial will be at that place.
